CONFLICT IN STATE

Provisions of Primary Law In
A. This Respect, Held I'm
A. workable
From a stan Correspondent.

LANSING. Mich, JaL. v.-(Spe-
cial. al.)-Delegates TO county conven-
tions In the spring OF 1915 cannot be
elected under the primary law but
must be chosen by caucus, according
TO a decision handed down by Atty
Gen. Fellows in response to query
from w. H. Boyns, OF Grand Rapids.
The decision OF the attorney gen
eral anticipates a situation discovered
by City Clerk Richard Lindsay. OF
Detroit, yesterday, and solves prob
lem submitted to Corporation Counsel
Lawson at that time.
The ruling, which is considered an
important one, is as follows:
Mr.. w. ii. Lyons, Clark Build
ing, Grand Rapids, Mich.
Dear Sir-Your letter OF the
Slst ultimo. with respect TO the
date when the county conventions
are To be held, is received. un-
derstand that the Republican
state central committee will issue
its call for a state convention In
the near future. Undoubtedly
this call, In conformity with the
statute, will specify the date
when Republican county conven-
tions shall be held throughout the
state. Preliminary caucuses for
the selection OF delegates TO the
county convention must, OF course,
be then called by the proper COM
mittees. Probably the other state
central committees will likewise
take action at an early date.
IL Is the view of this depart
ment that delegates TO the county
convention cannot be nominated
under the primary system this
spring. Under the general cleo
ton law OF the state, the nomi-
nees OF the state convention for
the various offices TO be filed at
the spring election, must be GER
tilted by the different state COM
mittees TO the boards of election
commissioners in the different
counties at least 80 days before
the date OF the election. It is OBJ
vious that II delegates TO the
county convention are not chosen
until the primary held on the
third of March, IL Will be impos-
sible to hold the state convention
on such a date as TO allow compli-
ance with the requirement OF the
election law referred TO.
In other words. those provisions
of the primary law that seem TO
imply or direct that the delegates
to the county conventions to be
held in the spring. must be chosen
at the spring election. must be
deemed TO be unworkable for the
reason that they are inconsistent
with the election law of the
state.
Respectfully yours.
