Aldrich today made announcement of his
appointment OF Judge A. M Post of Co

n Broadly OF this city as members Of the
commission which will recodify the Ne
oraska statutes. according to the pro-
visions OF the Quackeubush-H Hardin bill

the commission will receive a yearly salary
OF 5000 and will report 70 the next session
OF the Legislature
Following Is the message OF Governor
Aldr1eh In making known the names Of
the men he has chosen.
In the appointment OF three lawyers 10
revise the statutes, as provided for by the
recent legislature, 1 have had a confer
ence with the supreme court and advised
with them to the best thing to do
under the circumstances.
In selecting Hon John H. Broadly, son
one of the landmarks in Nebraska and OF
mat type of citizen and democrat who
always stood for the best in government,
was influsneed in taking this young man
because OF his eminent qualifications in
TINS kind OF work lie has been employ ed

In selecting Hon. A. NJ Post. ex-supreme
ludEe, we have In him man who has
written soma OF the most clean-cut and
eble opinions that have been handed down
Dy our supreme court. In fact, his opin-
ions are standing out In bold relief as
clear expoHitions OF the principles of law
as applied to the various economical and
social conditions existing in Nebraska. His
decisions are neither being reversed nor
mQdified. They are standing out as abso-
lutte proceed nta- His familiarity with the
statutes from cover to cover, his we'll
known industry, his keen analytical mind
ana his absolute integrity make him an in
valuable man for this kind of work.
And In selecting Hon. e. L King OF
Osoeola we have q practitioner OF many
years OF experience, a man Of high legal
who stands for clean things at all times,
whose judgment and familiarity with the
statutes and our supreme court decisions
make him valuable acquisition to this
kind OF a commission.
Then, by having IN combination two
suoh men as Judge Post and Senator King
with a man of the peculiar talents of j..
IL Broadly, the author and man OF details,
1t seems 70 me that we will get a revised
edition Of our statutes that will be inval-
liable to this state
Neither Judge Post ner Senator King
have made application 10 me for this posi-
ton nor talked to me about It Many
other eminent lawyers were considered and
many OF them were In the class with these
