The state supreme court has sus tained the classification clause the new statewide primary election law. An opinion handed down by Chief Justice Start affirms the decisiow of Judge Hale in the Hennepin county district court, in the mandamus action brought by John A. Nordin of Min neapolis against County Auditor Al P. Erickson. Mr. Nordin attacked the new law for its requirements that can- didates for office where there is more than one position to be filled, as two members of the legislature in a dis trict, shall file either under “Class 1” or “Class 2,” instead of running ali under the same list. The supreme court holds that the re- striction is not in conflict with the con- stitution, because it applies only te the primary, which is not an election.
