Z Important DECISIONS
BY THE SUPREME court
"THRTY PER CENT CLAUSE" DECLARED uN
CONSTITUTIONAL COURT OF sTATE-LowER
COURT is AFFIRMED FAMOUS WARD COUNTY
ELECTION CASES.

The famous thirty per cent clause
OF the primary law has been declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court
in a decision made known Saturday
afternoon.
The opinion has not been handed in
as yet and it may be several days
before it is prepared. The decision of
the court was divided; Chief Justice
Morgan and Judge Spalding dissent
ing, as against Carmody, Ellsworth
and Fisk.
The opinion of the majority of the
court is that the thirty per cent
clause Is an undue restriction upon
the rights of voters to run for office.
The decision of the court means that
there will be candidates for every
state office on the democratic ticket,
where before the decision there were
only the governor, lieutenant governor
the congressman and ,e railroad
commissioners on the slate.
This will also mean the putting on
the ticket of a large number of county
officers who were counted out by the
state canvassing board. 1t will do
away with several test cases that
would have been brought in the dis
trict and supreme court.
