POPS ARE SHUT OUT.
COURTS SUSTAIN THE ILLINOIS
SECRETARY OF STATE
In His Reading of the Election
Law-He Refused to Issue Ger
tif1cates Of Nomination.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. Sept. 17.-Judge
this afternoon rendered decision in
the mandamus suit brought by Jackson
L. Jessup and Charles E. Palmer, PeO-
ple's party nominees by convention for
senate and house from the Forty fifth
district. against Secretary of State
HeinrichSen, asking for an order TO
compel him to issue certificates of nOm-
ination to them. The secretary of state
refused to issue the certificates,
claiming under the election law
the petitioners could be nominated only
by a petition of per cent of the legal
voters of the district, as the Peoples
party had not polled 2 per cent vote
at the last election preceding the COM
ing one, which the secretary claimed
was the judicial election of June, 1898,
when Phillips was elected to the su
preme bench to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Schofield. The petition
ers claimed the presidential election of
1892 was the last general election, and
also called into question the cOnstitu-
tionality of the law, because it required
2 per cent of the voters to nominate;

decision in an alleged similar case in
support of their argument. The case
was heard on the demurrer of the
secretary of the state to petitioners
declaration. Judge Fouk sustained the
demurrer. In support of his decisiou
regarding the cOnStitutionality of the
law he quoted the supreme courts of
New Jersey and Pennsylvania sustain
ing the requirements of per cent of
voters to nominate. The court held the
judicial election to be general election
in the meaning of the law and quoted
the statute, it saying:
1.-The term general election as used in
this act shall apply to any election held
for the choice of national, state judi
cial, district or county office, ETC.. wheth-

petition in all counties of the Fourth

those counties must do likewise, and in

him to resign his seat in the United

Jones said:
