I The decision of the Supreme Court
OF Idaho in the case OF the Democratic
party seeking to be identified, indi-
Gates that primaries must be held ac-
cording to law. If the organization
decides to hold primaries on some
other day than Monday, that makes
It void.
The decision also throws a cloud
over the theory that party has a
right to say who shall belong to the
party. For example, IL the party re-
solves that nobody but red-beaded
men shall be eligible to sit in Its
conventions, and men with brown
hair are regularly elected at the pri-
maries, and no others are sent to con.
test their seats, there can be no doubt
