Ar Parties Allowed Names on Ballot

Corunna, March 31.-Despite the
ruling Of three members of the SUI
2reme court, that the Is per cent
clause of the primary law is constitu-
1anai, the county board of canvass
ars has decided to permit the names
NJ Democrats, Progressives and Pro-
aihitionists for road commissioner,
~ gu on tae ballots, at the spring
election. There Is still another fea-
tuSe of the case that may cause troub-
lor in the future.
After the primary, the board met,
xad canvassing the vote, issued certi-
dcates of nomination only to the Re-
pSblIcan candidates. The others, it
vas declared, failed to get the nee
sssary s per cent vote. This action
gsss taken upon the advice of the
prosecuting attorney. Then Circuit
nrdge Mcdonald of Grand Rapids
Rufed that the clause is unconstitu-
tional, and the board met again and
decided to place the names on the
0auo,. The clerk, acting upon the
Instructions of the board, issued GER
tIfscates of nomination to the candi-
Setss of four parties. Now comes
ehe, ruling of the supreme oourt,-or
og three of its members,-and the
Board has decided to maintain its po-
sitfon, holding that it will be impos
aibIe to go beyond the issuing of GER
tafScates.
Democrats fear, however, that If a
Democrat candidate is elected, some
oue may protest the election and by
proving that he did not receive the
70 per cent required by law, over
"a row the result of the election.

Personal prejudice and fear of con-
