Other Citations In People ex rel, Brechton v. _Elec tion Commissioners, 221 111. 9, 77 N. E. 321, it was held that a primary election law which provides that the county committees of a political pavt> shall * determine whether candidates shall be nominated by a majority or a plurality vote, is invalid as a dele gation 'of legislative power, the basis of this decision being thar since the legislature had enacted a statute regulating the form of the ballot, what shall appear upon jt, and how the candidates whose names appear i shall be chosen, it has drawn to it self the duty of determining the ques tion whether a majority or plurality vote should be necessary to nominate 1 and that the delegation of this right to a political party might not be le gally done, and this is no more than the recognition of the well established maxim that a law must be complete in all its terms and conditions when it leaves the legislature. Cooley’s Cnnst. Lim. (7th Ed.) 163. ! Delegation of Power | In the statute under consideration there is not only a delegation of leg islative power,—in itself unconstitu I tional—but also in its purpose and, ! effect a recognition of a further, I power which the legislature itself; 1 does not possess. Admittedly the I State may not provide otherwise than 'for equal rights of suffrage as well i in the primary as in the election. This the statute does and if this were all there would be no ground of com ! plaint, but it goes farther, and rec • ognizes and enforces the right of a political party to prescribe qualifi cations forbidden under the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. This a State may not do. “The legitimate purpose of such! a law * * * must be to sustain and! enforce the provisions of the Consti-! tution and the rights of voters, and not to curtail or subvert them or injuriously restrict such rights.” (Peo ple v. Commissioners, supra). I Law in Conflict That a law which recognizes or which authorizes a discriminatory test or standard does curtail and subvert them there can be no doubt and such a law is therefore in conflict with the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend ments to the Constitution of the , United States. Impressed with the importance of the question raised in this case and mindful likewise of the responsibility of its decision, I have given the case , careful thought. That its effect may be to change a custom that has long i obtained iq_the political system ir. ef- j feet in this State and therefore meet with the disapproval of many is a consequence which unpleasant though 't may be mgy nevertheless not be avoided in the performance of the duty devolving on the court. The demurrer will be overruled, and the defendants given sixty days in which to plead further, and the case will stand continued.
