SECTIONI3VOID • _ (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) to vote the ticket of the party with which the challenger is affiliated." In other words, any voter can vote at the republican primary unless a republican challenges, and so for the other , parties. The supreme court held that the legislature never intended that a . voter affiliated with one party could challenge a voter prepared to vote ! at the primary of another party. The case of the Marion county court was filed by Carl Mote, a progressive, returning to the republican party, who alleged that a democratic neighbor was prepared to challenge him when he voted at the republican primary. The Marion county case had the 1 backing of the republican state com--1 mittee which wished the section 10 ' killed in order that progressives re- ' turning to the republican party might take part In the republican primary. : o LOST —Pocketbook containing about $6.00.
