HAVE A SOMEWHAT NUTTY
PROBLEM TO SOLVE
The Terms Of the Primary Election
Law-Professor David Starr
Jordan to Lecture

PASADENA, (Office of The Herald, %
Colorado Street.), March 22.-The editor of
the News is all stirred up over the fact
that some of the signers Of Warren Rich
ardson's petition had previously partici-
pated in the Republican primaries, thus
running counter to the law, though, as he
admits, they acted innocently in the mat
ter, being uninformed as 10 the provisions
of the law. However, everybody knows
this will not invalidate Mr.. Richardson s
petition, as he had a much larger number
of sgners than was required. But ques-
tion that is bothering the Straight Re-
publicans" is of more consequence, since
1t may result in all their hard work being
thrown away. Even If any Of them should
be elected. it is we'll known that the pr.-
mary election law under which they were
nominated is likely to be declared unconsti-
tutional. Now. Il the editor Of the News
wants a nut TO crack, and one which would
appear to be easy, let him tell where they
would ''be at in such an event. The su-
preme court Is expected to render de-
cision on the law very soon. In the mean
time, the limit has passed for nominations
by petition, and how are our Straight Re-
publican" friends to get their candidates
before the people, in the event of the law
being knocked out? Or in case they were
declared elected, and then the decision be-
ing rendered against the law, who would
take the offices? 1t begins to look some
what as though "our friends the enemy
might be materially assisting in the elec-
tion of the non-partisan ticket; tina, is,
If the law should be knocked out, as now
appears likely.
