WHEN LAWYERS AGREEi

9 One OF the reasons given for the hasty action by the state sen

AN EMERGENCYl

To begin with the Saturday News wishes to commend Senator
Mark w, Sheafe, Jr, for his refusal to become panicstricEen re-
gardlng the Richards primary law. Senator Shea, was one of the
nine senators who refused to sanction the repeal of a law which the
people themselves had adopted,
When that phase of our state constitution was adopted empow-
ering the Legislature to declare an emergency to exist and to make
sA law effective at once, it was never contemplated that the legislative
body should take advantage Of a technicaity to evade the spirit of
the supreme authority of the state.
obviously the state senator's We're fearful that a man by the
name OF Richard @. Richards would grab the state by the nape of
The neck with one hand and the seat of the pants with the other, pull
the whole thing up by the roots, including the senators themselves,
and dash the whole outfit into the muddy, seething, treaeherous
Missouri
Hence, TO head off such a catastrophe and to save their precious
hides from contact with the murky waters, and to keep the state
from being literally hurled into the ocean current and carried
thence into the danger zone patrolled by the German submarines, our.
worthy solons to the number OF thirtythree declared q state of war
go exist in South Dakota and thus saved the old ship Of state from i'm
pending DOOM 3
Of course an emergency exists It will be a year hence before
anybody will be called upon necessarily even to- announce his can
dldacy Tor Office, and yet the danger from the existing primary law is
so threatening as to involve an immediate call to arms!
Hail to this noble band Of patriots May their names 90 thun-
Nerang downsthe ages as the savers of a mighty but benighted state!

GREAT American fortunes were not in evidence in 1945 as they

million. That man was John Jacob Aston

The people voted the primary law on the statutes. After try
ing out its working in 1914, they refused a few months later to sub
another for it. And yet the state senate proposes to deprive
the people of an opportunity to- have any voice whatever in it what
sort OF a primary they shall operate under.
