GROUP SECTION OF PRIMARY
LAWS OBJECTIONABLE

The Evening Telegram has taken
occasion already to refer to the OBJ
jectionable features of the group"
eection of the primary law, which
was recently handed knockout on
the courts. The following COM
ment along the same line by the
Palm Beach Post is pertinent:
'Of more than passing interest
is the opinion handed down by Judge
Wil&lon, at Mariana, regarding the

THE law calls for this statement
from a candidate In order to the
more easily determine the matter Of

supposition for its enactment. 1t
makes 1t absolutely necessary that a
contestant for this position shall state
which candidate he is opposing-and
precludes the possibility of his beat

didates for the same position.

inception. If there were four entries
