LINCOLN, Neb., March 29.-Miss
Gertrude Jordan, who was last No
vember, as the Republican candidate,
elected treasurer Of Cherry county, is
entitled to hold that Office. That was
the decision last evening of the SUI

surrender the office to her on the
ground thai a female is not competent
under the statutes to occupy the posi-
ton, and the case was taken to the SUI
prene Court.
Judge Jacob Fawsett dissented from
the majority opinion on the ground thai
Il Was establishing 2 dangerous prece-
dent ana urged that if a woman was
competent to be county treasurer there
was no rgason why she should not be
elected Governor of the State.
