NEW PRIMARY LAW
UPHELD BY COURT
STATE LAW NOT.,IN VIOLATION
OF STATE. OR FEDERAL
CONSTITUTION.
SECRETARY OF STATE UPHELD
IN REFUSING TO ACCEPT
FILINGS.

The State Supreme Court last Friday
upheld the Minnesota presidential pri-
mary law under which the first election
of the kind in the United States this year
will be held March 18th, to choose dele
gates to national political conventions.
The decision is rendered as the result
of case which arose when W. N. Carroll
OF Minneapolis, supporter of Elihu
Root for president, tried to file with the
secretary of state as a candidate for
delegate and also presidential elector,
without stating his preference for presi-
dent and vice president. The secretary
OF state refused to accept the filing as
delegate on the ground that delegate
could not make a choice until after all
the names for presidential candidates
had been. filed and" as elector on the
ground that his affidavit did not conform
to the statutes, as Mr.. Carroll refused
to pledge that he would support the
candidate chosen by the people of
Minnesota at the coming primary, and
the Supreme Court has now upheld the
officials action.
In filing for presidential elector, the
candidate does not have to state any
preference, the court says. "The Fed
eral Constitution gives such electors
free choice as to whom they shall support
for president and vice president, but
tradition demands that they cast their
ballot for their party candidates."
The time for filing for president and
vice president expires next Thursday and
the time for filing as candidates for dele
gates to national conventions ends Feb.
18th. Thus far only the name of Presi-
dent Wilson has been filed, but no doubt
the names of other candidates will be
filed before the time limit has expired.
No attempt has yet been made to cir
culate petitions for the nomination Of
candidates for vice president.
The attorney for Mr.. Carroll, in his
plea to the court, contended that the
presidential primary law tends to keep
professional politicians in office and to
discourage men of good business sense
and experience from running for office.
He contended further that the law was
passed in violation of the State and
Federal Constitutions, both of which
guarantee the right of any citizen to
keep to himself the knowledge of what
his intentions are in the matter of voting
for candidates for Office.
The assistant attorney general ap-
peared on behalf of the State and con-
tended that this law had no application
to general elections, but merely to the
nomination of candidates for office,
therefore could not be construed as
violating the provisions of either the
State or Federal Constitutions.
The case attracted great deal of at
tention not only among the legal fra
ternity but also among those with
political aspirations, as it was the first
time that the new law was under fire.

: Residents of .Nicollet village are

districts adjoining the village and the
Ultimate erection of a high school build
ing which they propose to erect in
Nicollet at cost of about $4,000.
At largely attended meeting held at
the Nicollet opera house last week the
question was thoroughly discussed and
but little opposition to the plan de-
veloped. Prof. c., M. Cesander of the
state department of public instruction,
had been invited and was present, giving
his audience, thorough insight into the
workings of the two hundred or more
consolidated districts in the state. He
pointed out the benefits to be derived by
such a move in that the students of both
the village and the rural districts would
receive the benefit of high school. in
struction, which is now possible only in
q limited way in;the smaller. towns and
not at all in the country: In addition
to the regular high school course, both
manual training and domestic science
could be taken up. The teacher in the
country school, it was pointed out, must
take up variety of subjects and as a
consequence the thoroughness possible
in the high schools, where trained spe-
cialists are employed, is out of the ques-
ton. >.
The four rural districts adjoining
Nicollet will hold meetings within a few
days and vote on the proposition. Prac-
tieally all of the residents of these four
Districts live within q radius Of three
Emiles from the village and the matter oil
j transportation facilities will be an easy
one to arrange, compared with some Of
the districts in the more sparsely settled
sections of the state, where children are
transported as far as eight miles to the
centrally located consolidated school.

POSED AS AGENT {. !.
LANDED A. IN jail" IA !!
MANkATo YOUNCsTER :: OBJ
: TANNED GOODS UNDER FALSE
.PRETENSES.
RELATIVE WIRES MONEY TO
PAY FINE AND REIMBURSE
MERCHANT.

Donald Bennett, a young man, hardly
twenty-one years of age, was arrested
last Saturday at St. Peter upon warrant
issued by the authorities of Brown
county, charging him with obtaining
goods under false pretenses. He was:
brought to this city and boarded at the
county jail over Sunday.
Young Bennett, it seems, came to this
city about a week ago and represented
himself to be an agent for the Goodyear
Rubber Company of Minneapolis. He
visited several of the local garages
ostensibly in quest of business for his
concern, but evidently found no GUS
toners until he reached the store of Row
Berg on South Minnesota street. There
he made several trade" propositions and
obtained several inner tubes for auto
mobiles, a spot light and other articles
in return for which his firm was to send
the goods Berg had picked out. When
several days passed without the arrival
OF the goods, Mr.. Berg communicated
with the house in Minneapolis, who
promptly informed him that they had no
such representative in this section of the
state. Shortly afterward a warrant
was issued, charging Bennett with OBJ
tanning goods under false pretenses, the
value OF which had been placed at about
$4,000. @.c
The sheriff's office at first tried to
locate Bennett at Mankato, his former
home, but he had removed to St. Peter
several months ago, where he was finally
located. Some of the goods were located
at a St. Peter garage, while the remaiias,5,er
had already changed hands second
time and could not be recovered. -
Bennett was brought before Justice
Henningsen Monday afternoon and upon
pleading guilty to the charge made, was
fined $40 and costs. Upon recommen.
dation of Attorney Albert Pfaender, who
appeared for the state, the sentence was
suspended, upon condition that the de.
fendant pay the costs, reimburse Mr.
Berg and leave the city for good.

FIREPROOF STRUCTURE TO RE-

o. -
The directors of the Lamberton
Farmers Elevator company have prac-
tically decided to replace the elevator
recently burned to the ground with
modern and freproof structure of still
greater storage capacity.
The grain losses through the fire also
have been adjusted and the farmers who
had grain stored in the elevator will be
paid the market price prevailing on the
day Of the fire upon presentation Of the.
storage receipts.
AS it will take several months before
the new elevator can be erected, a
temporary flour warehouse will at once
be erected, in order to continue the,
business Of the company.
