NEW PRIMARY LAW UPHELD

Judge Alva L. Taylor of Huron, rem
dered a decision last Thursday, in the
case brought by R. o. Richards to en-
join the enforcement of the new pri-
mary law. The holding of the court is
that the new primary law enacted by
the legislature last winter is legal and
valid, and that it effectually repeats
the so-called Richards primary law en-
acted by the people under the initia-
tive at the 1912 election.
There were two questions before the
court in this case. The first was
whether the legislature had power to
repeal a law enacted by the people
under the initiative provision of the
constitution, and the other, whether
the decision Of the legislature that an
emergency existed could be reviewed
by the court.
Upon the first question, the attor.
neys for the defendants argued that
the legislature had the power to re-
peal All lulIldIeu law LOT the simple
reason that the constitution did not
forbid it, and this was the view taken
by the court.
Upon the second question the at.
torneys for Richards argued that there
was no emergency and that the new
law could not go into effect before
July list; while the attorneys for the
defense contended that the court could
not go into the question of the exist
ence of an emergency and that this
was wholly a question for the legisla-
ture. On this proposition also the de-
cision was adverse to Mr.. Richards
contentious.
Null & Royhl and Gardner & Chur-
chill of Huron, appeared for Mr.. Rich
ards, and Attorney General Caldwell
and States Attorney Chamberlain of
Beadle county, represented the de-

This year we will have a different
show at Huron. These professional
showmen will not be permitted to

horses the show will be confined to
stock owned in South Dakota. 1t will
be a real breeders show. We expect
to find the exhibits presented in the
pink of breeding condition and not
fattened to the point where it might
be questioned whether they would
ever reproduce themselves. However
we must have our stock in a condition
