MORE ARGUMENTIN
EKERN CASE ASKED
REHEARlNc IN CONTROVERSY IS
ORDERED BY THE STATE
SUPREME COURT.
REHEARING SET FOR MAY is
Now Believed That Final Decision Viii
Be Handed Down About June list,
Settling Title to Office and Other
Points in Controversy.

Madison.--A decision in the McGov-
ern-Ekern controversy may not be
HANDED down by the state Supreme
court before the last of May or the first
OF June. The court has issued an or
der for the reargument of the follow
ing questions:
Question /. Section $40 of the stat
utes which says that due process OF
the law as guaranteed by the constit-
ution, be pursued in removing an ofiic-
err.
Question 2. Does due process of the
law in such a case entitle the officer
attempted to be removed to reason
able notice of the hearing and of the
particular charge, reasonable oppor-
tunity to be heard in person and by
counsel, to know the adverse evidence
to be considered, right to cross-ex-
anime the opposing witnesses and pre-
sent all material evidence in his own
behalf?
Question 8. If an order for the re-
moval of an officer charged in such a
proceeding without according these
privileges to him is it valid?
Question 4. Is it a jurisdictional re
quirement of an order under the re.
moval statute that ii be based on evil
dence, taken according to the essen
tails of due process of law, which in
some reasonable view sustain the
charges against the person accused
which will warrant his removal and ii
so was such a case made as to Mr..
Ekern?
Argument on these questions will be
heard on May 13.
The general feeling among attorneys
who have read the questions is that
they mean the court will decide all the
ing the title to the Office. instead oil
combining itself to the mere injunction
suit. This is what Mr.. Ekern'5 at
torneys asked In the former argu'
ments.
The call for new arguments was hail.
ed with rejoicing in the Ekern camp.
1t was accepted there that the ques-
tons indicated that the question OF

other question.
The governors friends were not 20
jubilant, but expressed themselves as
satisfied IL the validity of Gov. Nc
Governs action was to be taken up
now when the whole question would
be settled.

Sim Watson's stock of wit was small,
But he let on he knew it all
He held his head up mighty high:
The word he spoke the most was II"
he had large amount OF gall
And never let a chance go by,
Whenever he was in crowd
To make his conversation loud.
You'd hear his voice above the rest,
Ee'd strut and he'd stick out his chest,
he never guessed he always KNEW;
Or, leastwise, be pretended to-
he always seemed to worry lest
He might be hidden from the view,
When taller men than Sim were there
You'd see him standin' on chair.
We all knew that his talk was guff,
That he was putin UP blum,
And vet, somehow, we kind of got
To thfnkin' that he knew a lot;
The jokes he told were old and tough
Most of them tales that we'd forgot
But still we'd laugh at what he said,
And so his reputation spread.
Well, as see the case today.
Sim taught lesson, anyway.
Your stock OF knowledge may be small
But don't stand back against the wall
And listen to what others say.
Speak UP and claim to know II all:
Most people will believe you do
The wiser ones are so mighty few
