Yelser of Omaha that Nebraska has no legal governor comes from the recognized organ of the popullst party, the Neb Independent. It admits that Mr. Yelser's reasoning is ‘lawyerlike,” but it {s unable to see any necessity for the election of a governor this The Independent says: t to have some mers and w g, that Nebraska had no one must elected this fall. Bome of the brethren seemed to think that John was in carnest and have given a deal of space to the discussion of the ject. Mr. elser made a lawyerlike argument in favor of his proposition and quoted section 107, chapter xxvl, of the Ne- ka Statutes, which provides: “When a ancy occurs In any state, judicial diss ing your district at hand and statements ‘clock a. m. 901, When ques: o Vi triet, county, precinct, township or an: publlc ‘elective ‘oMee thirty” days prior to any meneral election it shall o flleq Mr. Yefser's cltations are all correct, but, lawyerlike, he stopped when he might h made a further citation that would have ut an entirely difterent look upon the af- alr. Section 16, article v, of the state con- | stitution, reads this way! “In the case of | impeachment and notice thereof e actuned, fallure to quality, resigha- | tion, absence from the state or other d ability of the powers, duties | and emolumen the office for the residue of the term, or'until the disabllity shail be removed, shall devolve on the lieutenant sovernor." How anybody can work out a necessit: for the election of a governor this fall under that section of the constitution is somewhat puzaling.
