cause It claims a lien by mortgage
on the property belonging to Keenan,.
but plaintiff alleges that she believes
the mortgage has been fully satisfied
and the debt secured completely
paid.
The names OF the Ely Townsite
company and b. II. Mcqueen also ap-
pears as defendants. The former
claimed a material mans lien on the
same structure for $2500. Plaintiff

G. =. CHANDLER HONORED
BY BAR ASSOCIATION

Attorney Charles S. Chandler of
this city was elected vice-president
of the Nevada State Bar association
and presided at the gathering of the
legal luminaries on account of the ill
ness of George S. Brown, formerly
district judge of this county. Mr..
Chandler returned Thursday after
noon, having been detained several
days in Carson on account of the
state tax commission raising the
assessment of the Nevada Consolidat-
cd $1,000. 900.
The proposal to raise the standard
of qualifications for admission to
the bar precipitated a sharp debate
among the delegates. The point most
argued was a feature of a bill pro-
posed for adoption at the coming
session of the legislature requiring
three years of study before an appli-
cant would be permitted to take the
examination, that would qualify him
to practice in the state courts.
Some of the members recalling
their own. careers. said that they
would have missed great opportuni-
ties had they been prevented from
taking the necessary tests at the ex-
piration of a year and a half of
study. Others said that the propos-
ed provision would be putting the
bright and capable student on the
same plane as the dullard. r. NJ.
Price, Sam Plat and A. Z. Cheney
supported the bill, while A. Grant
Miller, w. NJ. Gardner, l.. A. Glib
bons and George s. Green opposed
il.
As a substitute a modification of
the rules for admission to the bar was
suggested. In order to make the
proposed requirement as to a term
of study effective, the measure as out
lined provided for the registry of stu
dents with the clerk of the supreme
court as they took up the study Of
law. 1t was proposed to substitute
for the justices of the supreme court
as examiners a committee of three
members of the state bar two to be
chosen by the judges of the highest
court state and one to be appoint
ed by the president of the bar asso-
citation, each to serve four years. 1t
was provided that the applicant
should have passed the university
examinations except in certain cases.
After considerable discussion 1t was
decided that the act carrying a pro-
viso for the enforcement of the three
year period of preparation be refer
red to the section on legal education
and that the members be instructed
to draft a course of study in lieu OF
a college course. +.
An amendment was carried to the
fact that ii was the sense of the as
sociation that some legislation rails
ing the standard of the legal profess
sion be passed at the coming session
of the Legislature.

and what is of greatest Importance
he is honest Judge Williams under
standing Of Oklahoma and the needs
OF the state is broader than that oi
any other man who has been called to
public notice. He is man who would
grace the office OF governor. and his
/ election will come as a deserved and
/ happy recognition. One of the charac-
teristics most prominent in the general
makeup OF Judge Williams is the fact
of his independence Of action and
thought. He is willing to listen to ad-
vice at all times, but thinks for him
self. and as has been proven ON num-
berless occasions, whatever officihl
move he makes will be in the interest
Of the whole people without regard
to clique or influence, politics or DEM
agogic chicanery.'
Coming from such man, this state
ment is naturally causing some uneas-
mess in the ranks of the G. Q, p. The
views taken by DR.. Threadgill are in
line with those of other progressive
Republicans who cannot see that the
party has anything to gain by follow
ing a program mapped out by the old
stand-pat crowd who sought to
strengthen their cause by picking Mr..
Fields for their candidate.
In Judge Williams the Democrats
have candidate whose honesty and
ability cannot be seriously questioned.
1t is seldom that state has chance
to choose man who by experience

sion of the qualifications of statet-
man is so well fitted for the office OF
chief executive. Judge Williams is al

a man who can be depended upon tol
