the republican party, now popularity designated

election law passed during the last session Of

This law, known as John Holman's ''honest

Of the political parties where 1t has rested
hitherto, and prescribes In detail how caucuses
and conventions shall be conducted and the man
ner of electing delegates to conventions. The
question agitatng politicians and lawyers Is that
of the constitutionality of sections "a and 20 Of
