M'NULTY WINS A
Johnson's Position Is Upheld by Court
Order In Primary Case.

Order In Primary Case.
Pierre.-The South Dakota su-
preme court fully upholds Attorney
General johnson in the McNulty eligi-
bility case. The court declines to
take up the eligibility question at this
time and rules that McNulty's name
must go. on the ballot as the minority
Republican candidate for congress in
the Second South Dakota district.
It is said that Secretary of State
Frank Glassner had no right to pas a
judicial opinion upon the petition fled
in the case and the intimation is that
he should have accepted the legal
guidance of the attorney general.
Attorney General Johnson ooh the
position that the question of McNul-
TVS eligibility could not come up un-
til the votes had been cast. He in
sisted that the secretary of state &C.
cept the filing as offered by the minor
ity Republican contingent. There
seems no doubt that the minority fac
ton was entirely taken by surprise
on the actual law situation as brought
out by the attorney general.
1t was the plan of the minority Lead
erS TO get the issue cleaTe up now.
If McNulty were held ineligible that
would give them a chance to name an
other candidate. If the court would
hold him eligible, that would take one
very material issue out. of the cam
paign.
The South Dakota state constitu-
ton states that no judge Of the cir
cult or supreme court shall be a AN
didate for any other office during the
term for which he was elected and
specifically provides that no votes
cast for such candidate shall be
counted for him.

need two wagons on one trip, with

object to Payment Of Taxes.


Pierre.-Payment for the Black
Hills, exemption from taxes, and a
greater percentage Of reservation re-
ceipts for the present instead of
the future, was the main lines Of dis
cussion Of the Sioux Indians at their
general council held at Cherry creek
several days ago. The different SUBJ
divisions had a different set of ideas
as to distribution of funds, but the
general tenor was that they wanted
the cash receipts for sales of Indian
lands to be used for purchase of cat
tie and the income from funds al
ready accumulated, paid as annuities
to the Indians on the reservation. On
the matter of taxation, the Indians
take the position that they should not
be required to pay taxes SO long as
they live upon allotments. Gin this
relation it has been held by the courts
in a Roberts county case that they
are not exempted from payment Of
personal property taxes even though
they are holding allotments.)
