F,ivin Arden taught in the so-called old

Booth stood out prominently. where men

end of a half hours trading there was
sufficient buying demand to cause a

HOLDS MEASURE uNcoNsTITu-

SAYS VOTERS ARE
DENIED OF POWERS
POWERS GIVEN SENATORIAL
COMMITTEE OF LIMITING CAM
DIpATES AND REGISTRATION
PROVISIONS AssAlLED.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 16. The SUI
preme court today decided the primary
law is unconstitutional.
This is the third state primary law
which has been declared invalid by
the highest tribunal in the state. The
law was passed by the forty-fifth gen
eral assembly in special session and
was known as the Oglesby bill. In the
workings of the law objection was
made to the cunlbrous machinery
which it occasioned and to the re-
strictions which were placed on yot-
ers before they were eligible to partic-
ipate in the primary.
The Principal Objections.
Criticism was also raised on the
powers granted to various committees
of different political parties One OF
the principal points made in the argu-
ment against the validity of the law
In the appeal to the supreme court was
the section of the act which provides
that no person may vote at a primary
election unless legally qualified as a
voter, the qualification including regis
tration. -4i,
Tho act permitted voter who had
moved into precinct after the last
registration to vote on the affidavit Of
a householder, but no provision was
made for casting the vote of lega
voter who had not changed his resi-
dence, but had not registered.
The Specific Objection.
The court holds the law unconstitu
tional because it requires that no per
son except persons registered at the
last previous election can vote at {
primary election, yet it makes no pro
vision for the registration of voters
and because it provides that a sena
torial committee by resolution ma!
decide how many candidates eacl
party may nominate for the legislator,
and that only that number of candi
dates may be voted for. thus depriv
ing the voters of their constitutions
right under the election law to vot,
for as many candidates as there ar,
offices to be filled.
