IMPORTANT PRIMARY RULING
Electors Must Vote Same Ticket as
Previous Election.

Electors Must Vote Same Ticket as
Previous Election.
Chicago, Sept. PA ruling which
may change the result of the recent
Republican primary election for the
states attorney nomination was made
by Judge Cutting when he declared
that voter who had voted as a Dem
ocrat two years previous to the pri-
mary could not legally vote for the
nomination of any one on another
ticket.
At the present primaries John Hea-
3ly, the present states attorney, was
deated by John w. Wayman. A re-
count of the votes confirmed this re-
suit, but according to Mr.. Healy de-
veloped numerous cases of fraudulent
votes, notably in the Ninth and Tenth
wards. Democrats, he alleged, were
voted in squads for Wayman and he
brought suit before Judge Cutting to
arnul the election. The courts ruling
Is regarded as of the greatest impor.
tance and Mr.. Healy, it is stated, will
continue to wage his fight with re-
newed vigor.
