SPRINGFIELD, H.. Sept. 15.-
Is Illinois going back to the con.
vention system of naming candi-
dates for public office?
This question viii be one Of the
outstanding cases to be argued at
the October term of the Illinois
Supreme court. Should the SUI
preme tribunal sustain the verdict
of the Lee county circuit court
holding the Primary act invalid, it
Is probable that an effort viii he
made to pass another act In the

sought an injunction restraining
the county clerk from paying the
cost of the primary election. This
was granted but has not held up
primary cost payments in other
counties.
If the law is held to be invalid
and no new law passed. nomina
tions must be made in convention.
This would apply to the city of
Chicago and other municipalities
where city officers are to be chosen
next year. The nomination of state
officers for the 1928 election also
would have to be made in conven-
ton.

Not always: only in games that

ELMS IN SECTIONS
OF CITY RAVACED
BY LEAF BEETLES

The real extent of the damage
done In Augusta this year by the
Elm Leaf Beetles is just commencing
to be appreciated. In every part of
the city where the spraying was not
resorted to, the beautiful big elms
are already losing their leaves, which
are falling two months earlier than
would normally be the case. The
leaves that fall now show the raw
ages of the beetles, nothing being
left of them but the skeleton-work,
the soft part of the leaf having been
entirely eaten up. The trees them
selves already appear brown and
bare. the sections along Winthrop
street and upper State street show
ing the greatest amount of damage.
1t IL not yet known whether or not
the damage to the elms will be of
a permanent nature, and much con-
Germ is expressed by prominent local
citizens who feel that the Augusta
elms form very large part of the
attractiveness of the city.
Plans are already on foot to as
sure the spraying of the trees earlier
next spring than was done this year,
in an attempt to prevent recur-
renee of the attacks of these insects.
The sections which were sprayed
show much less damage, Capital
Park and the streets close to the
State House being comparatively
free from the brown appearance that
pervades the balance Of the city.
