No. The Lorentz ether is what distinguishes true time and absolute
rest from other frames, which are indistinguishable by observation
from the true frame.  So, it is exactly what does not transform well
under Lorentz transforms, but, instead, distinguishes a preferred
frame.

There is also no Maxwell's "logical error".  I mentioned "Einstien's
logical error" only because it is (inclusive the spelling error) a
quite typical "ether crank" statement.  Maxwell is seldom attacked by
cranks.

First, of course, all are nonsense, once there is clock time dilation.
Then, no need to refer to Paul Stowe, in my ether theory of gravity
the EEP is derived, and so time dilation is derived too.

If you want to change the Maxwell equations and hope that this helps, sorry,
you have no chance.
