		Petitioner contends that he should not have been removed from the ballot because the identity of the individual objecting to his petition could not readily be determined from the face of the filed objection as required by section 10©8 of the Election Code (Code) (10 ILCS 5/10©8 (West 1998)).

		Until 1872 all of the miners of Northumberland, Cumberland and Durham were employed under the hated Bond system whereby they contracted their lives away each year (or each month from 1844 to 1864) to a 'Master' in return for a 'bounty' and little else of substance.
		By the terms of the bond, under pain of a substantial penalty, they were obliged to submit to various fines and conditions and to work continuously at one colliery for a whole year.
		In the years 1839/40 for example 66 pitmen in the county of Durham were jailed for short periods as 'vagrants'; that is, for leaving their usual places of work.

	Morton v. State Officers Electoral Bd., No. 4-00-0142
		Petitioner contends that he should not have been removed from the ballot because the identity of the individual objecting to his petition could not readily be determined from the face of the filed objection as required by section 10-8 of the Election Code (Code) (10 ILCS 5/10-8 (West 1998)).
		Any legal voter of the political subdivision or district in which the candidate * is to be voted on * having objections to any certificate of nomination or nomination papers * shall file an objector's petition *.
		Petitioner concedes, in what amounts to gross understatement, that the objection is completely meritorious because the nomination petition "lacked the requisite number of petition signers." Petitioner also does not contend that the individual who filed the objection and signed the voter registration card is not the same person.
