initiative and referendum. The integrity
of the Richards primary law is involved
In the case. This law was adopted by a
direct vote Of the people at the November

primary law was submitted to the people
az substitute, which. II adopted, would
have repealed the Richards law; but Il
was defeated. Thus the people by their
vote have twice sustained the Richards
primary law. In face OF this record, the
1915 legislature repealed the Richards
law and enacted a substitute 20 force

supreme court. is that the legislature can
repeal laws enacted by vote OF the
people. and the people can in turn.
