FOR A CANDIDATE?

Grom a staff Correspondent

From a staff Correspondent
LINCOLN, Feb. 2S-(Special.)-Th
question settled by supreme court de-
cision four years ago whether candi-
date may affiliate with two different
parties, has again come up in the filing
today Of the acceptance of a petition by
Thomas Il. Conley OF Fairbury, filed in
the secretary of states office by mem
bers of the bull moose party wherein
MIR Conley states that he "affiliates"
with the moosers.
About three weeks ago MIR. Conley
made filing with the secretary of
state as a candidate for the same office,
stating that he affiliated with the re-
publican party.
ono of the strong points which was
made to the court and which was sus-
tanned in its opinion was that no candi-
date could affiliate with two parties who
were opposed to each other Should tho
bull mooosers put up an opposition
ticket in the nation this year it would
appear that the decision of the supreme
court might apply in cases similar to the
Conley filing.
other filings made today were as fol-
lows:
Robert Price Of Curtis files for tho
democratic nomination for congress in
the Fifth district
Keith Neville of North Platte accepts
