The motion to dismiss the suit
instituted by r. N. Mcintosh,
defeated candidate for the Re
publican nomination for sheriff
of Wright county, contesting the
nomination of E. G. Hake. was
argued before Judge Charles H.
Skinker at Hartville and the mo.
ton sustained. In dismissing
the case Judge Skinker made
the temporary injunction against
the county clerk restraining him
from opening and recounting the
ballots permanently.
The suit was filed by Mcintosh
shortly after the Augustprimary
election in which he received 5O6
votes and Hake sos. Hake fought
the case on the grounds that
there is no law providing for the
contesting Of primary elections
and that the general election law
providing for contests does not
apply to primaries. In dismiss.
ing the case ON these grounds
the court stated that while 1t
was probably true that there
should be laws providing for the
contestipg of primary nomina.
tiens the legislators had failed so
far to enact such a law. No ap
peal in the case will be made we
understand.
