members of the supreme court and
return them at the June primaries.
There are only two members who have
opposition, Judge Gorson, from the
Black Hills district and Judge Haney,
from the Mitchell district. Judge
Corson has been on the bench since
statehood and his ability has never

against him is that ''he is growing

manning in order to secure the nomina-
