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."
