IT MAY APPLY TO PORTLAND Circuit Court Asked to Decide if It Has Any Bearing Upon the Municipal Election in June. Suit to determine if an election shall be held under the direct primary law in April, and if it applies to the city election In June, -was filed in the State Circuit Court yesterday afternoon by City Attor ney McNary. The court is asked to decide if It is le Cal for the County Clerk to open regis tration books and register voters and per mit those already registered to appear and have their party affiliation added. This latter is necessary to qualify them to vote at the direct primary election. To raise the question the court is asked to enjoin County Clerk Fields from the purchase of registration books, and in curring the expenses of registration of voters for tho city election in June. Would Assist District Attorney. Mr. Fields is not interested which way the case is decided, and will turn the case over to District Attorney Manning to defend. Cliarles E. Lockwood, attor ney, who is Interested In upholding the law and having it applied to the coming city election, will offer to assist the Dis trict Attorney in the case. Judges Cle lond, Frazer, George and Sears will be asked to hear the case in joint session. The plaintiff is X. A King, a well known citizen and taxpayer, and the de fendant named is County Clerk Fields. The complaint recites that a general city election Is to be held In Portland in June, and the further fact that the direct primary law was adopted at the election ta the State of Oregon, held June 6, 1904. What Is Averred. The further recital is made that by the terms of the direct primary election law it is provided that the nomination of can didates for municipal offices by political parties shall be made subject to the pro visions or the law in all incorporated towns having a population of 2000 inhab itants and. upward. "That pursuant to the provisions of the direct primary law the County Clerk Is about to purchase registration books for the registration of voters for the election to be held for city officers on the first Monday in June. 1905, and to incur an ex pense of about 2000. "The plaintiff and other electors, it is averred, desiring to vote at general state, county and city elections before those held in the year 1306, did heretofore and prior to the general election held on June 6, 1901, register upon tho registration books under tho laws of the state then in force, so as to entitle them to vote at elections thereafter until the year 1905, and he and all others so registering prior to the election of June 6, 1904, are quail tied electors and voters at the municipal election, to be held in Portland on June E, 1905, and all persons desiring to vote at the city election on June 5, 1905, may lawfully vote at said election upon their eald registration in the year 1904, under the law providing for such registration in the year 1904. "That the said act, known as the direct primary nominating election law, does not apply to said election to be held June E, 1903, for the" purpose of electing munici pal officers, and said election Is not held or by virtue of any of the provisions of the said primary nomination election law, and that the expenditure of money about to be made for the purchase of registra tion books and for the registration of voters in the CItv of Portland is unnec essary and unlawful."
