TriE OMATTA DAILY DEE: FRIDAY. MAT l, 1904. 1 .L- BC NO BUSINESS OF THE COURT DtcliiN to Interfere t Frottot a Han't Purely Political Right LEAVES PARTY MANAGEMENT TO VOTERS tat Land Commissioner Flooded with tnlnrles ' Rearardlnsr Lands , Effected by Recently- Enacted -)r.tawld WiK - i (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, May 6. (Special.) The su preme court declines t supervise the acts of a political party for the protection of a purely political right. This decision war tiven in a' s'uft involving a controversy over the Interpretation of a primary elec tion law as enforced by the Lancaster county central committee In 1902. Whether a candidate could find representation on a primary election ballot unless he had the ability td pack and control a caucus In his home precinct was the principal ques tion. Ex-Mayor H. J. Winnett of Lincoln was a candidate for the nomination of state senator on the republican ticket, lie and other candidates claimed that right to submit a friendly delegation to the vote of the electors In the various precincts. George A. Adams, now mayor of Lincoln, waa chairman of the county committee, and the committee adopted the rule requir ing each candidate to carry the caucus in his respective ward before being allowed to place a list of delegates on the ballot. The court holds that a civil right is a right accorded to every member of a dis trict, community or nation; a political right Is one exercisable in the adminis tration of government and that a court of equity will not undertake to supervise the acts and managements of a political party for the protection of a purely po litical right. The opinion was written by Commissioner Albert and closes as fol lows; "The .right for the proiction of which the plaintiffs Invoke the chancery powers of tha court In this case, falls squarely within the definition of political rights. Notwithstanding the array of authority which' supported, we should not care to submit ourselves unqualifiedly to the doo trlne that a court of equity will not un der any circumstances interfere for the protection of political rights. But we think It Is perfectly safe to adopt the doctrine to tha extent of holding that a court of equity will not undertake to surpervlse tha acts and managements of a political party for the protection of a purely po litical right. We do not overlook tha fact that primary elections have become the subject of legislative action, and It may ba conceded that each member of a po litical party has a right to a voire In such nrimarles, and to seek nomination for pub lic office at the hands of his party. But when he is denied these rights, or unreas onably hampered in their exercise, he must look to some other source than a court of equity. To hold otherwise would es tablish what could not but prove a most mlrhlevlous precedent and would be a long step , In the direction of making a court of equity a committee on credentials and the final arbiter between contesting delegations in political conventions."
