Supreme Court
Uuholds Primary
Law of Wash'n

Olympia, Wash, Oct. IA. - The
state supreme court has sustained the
direct primary law in its entirety. The
opinion fills II typewriter pages and
covers four attacks upon the law. TAX
ing up the attacks in detail the court
holds that the title is sufficient. The
court admits the indefiniteness of the
provision that candidates must file q
statement of campaign expenses mot
less than 10 days after the primaries"
and says the rule is that they must be
filed within a reasonable time.
The court refuses to pass an opinion
as to whether nominations for repre-
sentatives in congress and for senator
ial preference are properly part of the
state primary law, as determination of
such question is not necessary in this
suit.

Shadow of Self, She Refuses to Leave
Russia.

shadow of her former self, with nerves
shattered from what the doctors fear is
incipient consumption, Empress Alex

climate for the sunshine of southern
Europe.
She will take the advice of the court
physicians and the nurses only on one

a condition that she believes she
would never see her husband or son
again were she to leave them.
