Why is it that some people rave and
froth at the mouth whenever they hear
that the primary election law will be
tested in tho courts? What is there
about this law that makes it sacred 2
Also what difference does it make
whether Governor Dickerson favors or
opposes it? He is not the only pebble
on the beach. If the law is unconstitu-
tional, the people have right to know
it before they pay for an expensive
primary election. The supreme court
is the only tribunal that can make the
law u dead letter. The people of
Nevada can trust Talbot, Norcross and
Sweeney to interpret the primary cleo
ton law and any other law passed by
the legislature.
