Another Test of Primary Law.

Olympia, May 2S.-A new case to
test the constitutionality of the di-
rect primary law and particularly the
second choice provision is to be filed
with the supreme court in the near
future.
The suit will be brought in the
name of a taxpayer and will seek to
restrain the secretary of state from
printing any provision for second
choice voting on the official ballot for
the September primaries. 1t will be
claimed that the law is unconstiru
tional in that respect and that the
following of it creates an unnecessary
expense.
The supreme court has original iu-
risdiction in actions of this nature
and at least the one point can be set
lied between term sof court and prob
ably before the date Of the primaries.
