PRIMARY LAW
HELD INVALID
IN ILLINOIS
Slate Supreme Court Declares
: - (jie Unconstitutional on
Point o' Registration
Governor Deneen Will Ca!!,Leg=
islature to Remedy Defect
at Special Session
[Speciat Dutalch lo The Call]
CHICAGO.. June *1«.— For the third
time the state supreme court has de
clared invalid tlie Illinois primary law
«n<i for the third time Illinois po
litical affairs go*'l«ack into whatever
condition underlies chaos.
This time, to the great satisfaction
of aspiring person?, no candidacies
were directly involved in the invalidat
ing of the law. When the two elder
brothers of this last legislative vic
tim were placed out on the steps of
the supreme court gasping their last,
their demise found sundry and im
portant individuals hanging to their po
litical supports by their eyelashes.
PROBLEMS FOB LEGISLATORS
No kui h cruel fate now threatens.
Elections are over and nominations
nred not be made until next spring.
Before that time the legislature will
l>e called back in special session by
Governor Deneen, and for the fourth
time since January, 1905, will handle
the problem of passing a primary elec
tion law which can hold its place in
the statute books.
The decision which declared the di
rect primary law utterly unconstitu
tional and sweeping it from the
statute books, was written by Justice
William M. Farmer of Vandalia. and
with the concurrence of the entire su
preme bonch.
The ti-Pt was made over the point of
"registration as a necessary prerequisite,
h* Id to b<> missing from the Oglesby
law with respect to sections 11 and 44.
dealing with tho qualifications of
electors.
QI 'ESTION OF REGISTRATION
The court first considered section 44,
and. aft»T reciting the terms of the
tection and of the registration provi
sions of the gent-ral election law, said:
"The primary law makes no provi
sion for registration. The law govern
ing: that subject in cities that have.i
adopted thf* city elections act is found
in that act, and it is contended that
numbers of persons possessing the
constitutional qualifications of electors
were denied the right to vote at the
primary election August S. 190S, be
cause no provision was mad? by the
law to enable them to register within
30 days before the primary election.
The last general registration before
paid primary election was on October
16. 1S»O6. and the last intermediate reg
istration was in March. 130 S. more than
four months prior to the primary elec
tion."
POVB CLASSES INVOLVED
The court then held that persons in
jured by the absence of provisions for
registration in the act were of four
classes — -persons not possessing the
constitutional qualilications of voters
at tue April election next succeeding
the March registration, such as men
who became ::i years of age between
the April election and August 3 pri
mary, persons who will not have re
side.l it! the election district 3rt days
prior to the election next preceding the
time fixed for registration; persons
Mho secure their final naturalization
paper* after the election next su-*cee<l
mg the last registration and before
the primary election i£ iieid. and those
for who some reason failed to ree-istcr.
Two Statutes Dissimilar
Election Commissioner Thomas V.
Cator was inclined last evening to the
belief that the decision of the supreme
court of Illinois in setting aside the
direct primary law of that state could
not apply to the California direct pri
mary law. the fate of which now rests
with the California supreme' court,
pending a decision expected the latter
part of next week.
Cator .was shown a dispatch from
Chicago concerning the decision of the
court, but did not wish to discuss the
findings on the face of the telegram.
He issued the following statement,
however, on the subject: "While I
have not the lIHno-.s statute before
me I am inclined to think that the
points involved were In the main quite
dissimilar from the points involved in
this state, and for the reason that
Illinois lias no constitutional provision
directly relating to direct primary nom
ination, as we^have in California."
HOTEL ATTACHES FORM
A NEW ORGANIZATION
Employes of Local Hostelries
Now Gathered in Club
Organization of a hotelmen's club was
effected last night at the St. Francis
hotel. The new % association, which is
patterned after the Greeters* club of

endeavor made on the coast to bring the

'\u25a0 Slightest Injury Resulted from
; . Little Escapade —In
Most Positive Way Ingredients of
i
; CUTICURA PROVEN PURE,
SWEET AND HARMLESS,^
A »w York friend of Cuticura writes
the followingr interesting letter: —
"My three year old son and heir,
after being put to bed on a trip across
the Atlantic, investigated the state-
room and" located a box of graham
••rackers and a box of Cuticura Oint-
ment.
"When, a search "was made for th«
box. It was found empty and the kid
admitted that he had eaten the con-
j tents of the entire box spread on the
crackers, at cured him of a bad cold
and I don't know what else."
No more conclusive evidence than
the above could be offered that every
ingrredlent. of .Cuticura Ointment is ab-
solutely pure, sweet and harmless. If
it may be safely eaten by a yoiinjc
child, none but the most beneficial re-
sults ran be expected to attend its ap-
plication to even the tenderest skin or
youngest Infant. This feeling is shared
by mothers and nurses to such an ex-
tent that Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment have for many years been
unhesitatingly used throughout the
civilized world for preserving, purify-
ing and beautifying the skin, scalp,
hair and hands of infants and children
from . the hour of birth. And
greater still, if possible, is the confi-
dence reposed in Cuticura Remedies
for the treatment of torturing and dls- -.
figuring humors of the akin and scalp.
{The suffering which they have thus
[alleviated among the young and the
(comfort they have afforded worn-out
land worried parents have led to their
adoption in countless homeg as price-
less agents In. the speedy, permanent
safe and economical treatment of Jn-
fantile and birth humors, eczemas
rashes, irritations, inflammations and
chaflngs, and other Itching, scaly And
pimply .humors when all other r«i|ir
edies suitable for children fall. j.^W
