ably presented on both sides. Neither

hut. think such case should have but
little weight IN determining the ques-
toned involved in this case.
School elections are not only recog-
;nized by our statute, bur are neld under
the rules and regulations provided in
the statute. They are statutory cleo
tions. and their validity depends neces-
sarily upon which whether or not the
rules and regulations provided by stat
tute for such elections have been rea-
sonably and fairly compiled with. If
they have the election is valid; IL they
have not, it is invalid.
"No such reasoning is applicable to
primary elections. While primar;- elec-
tions are recognized in cur code. it'll;
only for the purpose CT Furnishing
wrongs connected Herewith. There are
no provisions in the code for holding
primary elections: neither are there
any rules or regulations therein pro-
vided governing the same. They are
creatures of political parties. Whether
or not a primary electisn is held de-
rends upon whether or not the political
party so directs. and when the party
does so direct, it has full authority In
the matter, not only as to time ana
place of holding the election, but also
as to all rules and regula ions by which

Whether or not it would be good policy
for the legislature recognizing said
facts to provide laws to govern such
elections, and to determine controver-s
sizes growing out Of the same. Is a ques-
ton with which courts have nothing

no law on the subject, and 1t must be
