## Opinion text

Mr. Justice Carter, dissenting: I think, under the reason and construction of our statute as construed by this court in Misch v. Russell, 136 Ill. 22 , and County of Union v. Ussery, 147 id. 204, the circuit court had jurisdiction to hear this election contest, and that therefore this court should retain jurisdiction of this cause.
