PRIMARY
LAW is
KILLED

Springfield, ILL.,, June 16.-The SUI
ureme court of Illinois today de-
clared unconstitutional the state pri-
mary law, and as a result the state
is without a legal method OF nomi-
mating candidates for office. It is
thought that a special session OF the
legislature will be called to enact a
new law.
The decision of the supreme court
is a result of an attack made upon
the primary law by candidates defeat
ed in the state primaries last sum-
mer.
The law was declared unconstitu-
tional on the ground that IL did not
provide registration days for those
cities mat, previously, had adopted
election laws requiring voters to reg
ister a stated number of days before
an election.

Senator Stark of Pike introduced q
bill In the senate that cOrrects some
or the main causes Of complaint
against the general primary election

one of these repeats that feature OF
the law which requires candidates to
circulate and file petitions. A simple
declaration Of the candidate Is all that
is required. II he is seeking a state
office, he must deposit 500, and for
county Offices $40.
Another provision. and a very i'm.
poriant one, Is intended to prevent
members Of one party from voting for
candidates of the other. 1t requires
the voter to sign an agreement that
he Intends to support the nominee of
the party with which he casts his bal.

those seeking state nominations, in the
