Cupid has wrought such havoc in
the ranks Of the public school teachers
of Paterson that the Commissioners OF
Public Instruction at their next meet

that number of women instructors
having married during the summer va

is now nearly exhausted, and in order
to find teachers it will be necessary
to draw on other classes in the Normal

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Primary Law Stands.

b new Primary Election law.
passed by the last session of the Legis-
lature, has been held to be constitu-
tlonal in an opinion filed at Trenton
by Justice Garrison, of the Supreme
Court. The law was attacked in man
damuS proceedings in the case of a
Councilmanic nomination made in Ho-
boken under the old law, the City Clerk
at HOboken refusing to receive a GER
tiicate of such nomination. Justice
Garrison in his opinion holds. first.
that the law is not special because it
applies only to general elections. nor
is 1t special because it provides for the
nomination OF ward officers by direct
vote and for the nomination of officers
for larger divisions by delegates. On
the question as to the act violating the
secrecy of the ballot Justice Garrison
says: "The right to vote a secret bal
lot is neither a natural right nor a
constitutional right. Hence a legisla-
tive provision that. if challenged. a
voter shall make affidavit that at the
last general election at which he voted
for a majority of the candidates Of
the party with which he is proposing to
act violates no constitutional right Of
such voter. The argument, therefore,
that the affidavit to be made by a
challenged voter violates any natural
or constitutional right to secrecy pos
sessed by him is entirely without foun-
dalton. Moreover, as the voter Is not
required to say for whom he voted, but
only that he voted for a majority Of
the candidates of the party with which
he claims to act, it is difficult to see
wherein such partial avowment is any
more inimical to secrecy than is the
open and avowed partisan cooperation
hat has hitherto constituted the voters
credential." Justice Garrison further
holds that the right to enact a Primary
Election Law is clearly within the Leg
i~slature's police powers. Primary cleo
tons, he says, are so far matters OF
public concern that they are, at
the discretion of the Legislat-
ure, proper objects Of reason
able statutory regulation. Justice
Garrison concludes his opinion by cit
ing the fact that in other Jurisdictions
where primary election laws have been
passed a like result has been reached
in cases broughtin the courts Of those
Jurisdictions. The mandamus asked
for is, therefore, denied.
