lage and school district officers, nor to judicial officers excepting police justices and justices of the peace in cities." The effect of this section is to repeal the caucus and convention law as to all candidates for elective offices excepting such as are expressly excepted from the operation of the primary law. As to those which are excepted and to which the caucus and convention law was applicable prior to the enactment of the primary law, the caucus and convention law is still in full force and effect. Attention is called to this fact here to show why the caucus and convention law is published herein as a part of the election laws of this state. The appendix, consisting of opinions by the attorney general, printed in previous compilations, has been omitted. The opinions contained therein related principally to the caucus law of 1899, and since, as a matter of fact, no nominations are now made under this law, though still in force as to certain offices as pointed out above, such opinions can be of no practical value and could serve no purpose by being pub lished herein. Forms for blanks necessary to carry out the provision of the Primary law are printed as foot notes to the sections under which such blanks are required. All blanks for the cauvass and return of the September primary are furnished by the Secretary of State and forms for such blanks are therefore not printed herein. Forms for other election blanks are printed in connection with the sections under which they are required. Department of State, Madison, February 19, 1906. W. L. HOUSER, TABLE OF CONTENTS.

Provided, that the legislature may, at any time, extend by law the right of suffrage to persons not herein enumerated; but no such law shall be in force until the same shall have been submitted to a vote of the people at a general election, and approved by a majority of all the votes cast at such election; and provided further, that in incorporated cities and villages, the legislature may provide for the registration of electors and prescribe proper rules and regulations therefor. The qualifications made sufficient by the constitution cannot be added to by the legislature: State v. Williams, 5 Wis. 308; nor impaired, State v. Baker, 38 Wis. 71; State v. Tuttle, 53 Wis. 45.

Quinney, 51 Wis. 62. Children of aliens. Children of aliens who during minority come to this country with their parents, may become citizens by virtue of the full naturalization of their fathers; but the mere fact that their fathers have declared their intentions to become citizens does not make such children citizens, either of the United States or of this state, nor entitle them to vote here: In re Conway and Gibbons, 17 Wis. 526; In re Wehlitz, 16 Wis. 443. In the election district. The legislature had authority to authorize volunteers in the civil war to vote for local officers when they were without the state: State v. Main, 16 Wis. 398.
