What Effect May Be.

Congressman Barton's death may
leave vacancy to be filled by ap-
pointment by the governor in case
the dead congressman receives a ma
jority of the votes cast, according to
the opinion of prominent Omaha at
torneys. Under the state statutes the
appointee of the governor would hold
over until the next general election,
unless removed by the house of repre-
sentativeS, which passes on the cleo
ton credentials of its members. The
Nebraska constitution does not pro-
vide for special election to fill such
vacancies.
Local republican leaders suggested
Congressman Barton's death might
be used as cause to disqualify Shall
lenberger in the house of representa-
tives, should republican house be
elected. One attorney said: "A re-
publican house would undoubtedly re-
move Shallenberger and direct the
governor to appoint republican to
represent the Fifth district"
Possible Vacancy.
Other attorneys and republican lead
ers, holding that dead man could
not be elected to office, declared that
in the event Of either Barton or Shall
lenberger receiving a majority of the
votes cast, the logical course for the
house of representatives to pursue
would be to declare a vacancy and d.
rect the governor to fill the vacancy
by appointment.
The federal constitution has no pro-
vision for such vacancies and they are
covered by statutes of the states, at
torneys said. Attorneys were unani-
nous that under the Nebraska law
no litigation over the office could
grow out of Congressman Barton's
death because the case is covered ex.
plicitly in the statutes.
1t was suggested by some Omaha
attorneys that the death of Congress.
