Richards Primary Law
Growing in Favor

Pierre, s. D., Feb. 4th. After
many trials tribulations and cruel.
fixions, the Richards Primary Law
is rapidly coming into its own.
Its former severest critics are now
against its repeal, and are earnest
supporters of many of the most
important features of the law; such
as tine registration, proposal feat
ures, ct al. The opinion is freely
gwen that the law will be upheld
by the electorate next fall, in de-
feating the proposed 'Coffey" law.
1t is admitted on every hand, how,
ever, that the law needs amending
in several minor details in order to
make it more effective. Mr..
Richards who drafted the law, is
said to be carefully watching its
practical workings and that he
will no doubt be ready with pro.
pOsals for necessary amendments
to strengthen its workings when
the time comes. Hon. Royal G.
johnson. the Attorney General,
now says he is against the repeal
OF the Richards Law, but favOrs
modification of some Of its details;
admitting that there are many good
features that ought to be preserved.
The last legislature made an
appropriation of $4,000 to defray
the expense OF carrying out the
provisions Of the law. not one.half
that amount will ba used. The
Publicity Pamphlet, 13O, 900 copies,
will cost about $26O0.O0. The
Secretary OF State has in his hands
something like $3200.O0, collected
from candidates. with which to
pay the cost Of the entire output
OF 10000 copies. which goes to
show that the State will not be to
any expense, except the mileage of
the prOpOsalmen.

knows every girl that is chasing
the boss; she knows Of our troubles;
she knows OF our strife; she knows
every man who is mean to his wife;
she knows every time we are out
