What is a stat" institution, any way,
within the meaning of III" state con
stitutiun2
When Va" governor trsl publicly
hroachrd Nv" question Of tn" primary
"~emrrRenrN" some of the admins
tratiyr organs thought the republican
party could BE- APPLY so denominated.
Subsequently,, when they began to
reali2" that il the republican party
is an established "institution' Of the
and the soCialistic party. and the pro
hibition party, and so down or up the
list, they looked about for something
else that mikht appropriately be grab
bed for the purpose Of getting itself
preserved"
SO 10Y we find the administrative
organs swinging around to the idea
that it's the primary law" that Is
the institution TO be saved, and for
the preservation of which the lcgis
nature is convened in extraordinary
session.
In defining al emergency authorize
ing the use Of the emergency clause,
the state constitution speaks Of some
thing necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace,
health or safety, support of the gov
eminent and It's existing public insti-
tutions.
Since no one TO- contends that the
republican party ear be said to be an
established institution Of the state,
within the meaning of the constitu-
ton. for no one believes for a moment
that were the democratic party placed
in the same relative position regard
ing its national convention as is the
republican the Legislature would have
been summoned to do something to
preserve the primary law, we find,
as already indicated, that the pri-
mary law needs saving.
The only question that has arisen
relates TO republican representation
In the national convention. There is
no other point whatever involved.
The nomination of state officers would
mot be interfered with in the least
Worns 4 hn tfip,upy, 1nuy ant J11
All the party machinery would remain
intact. The democratic party is not
affected, nor the socialistic party, nor
any other recognized party. The only
feature of the primary law that would
be at all disturbed, even il it were,
is that part pertaining to represen-
tation in the republican convention.
Can the question of such represen-
tation be twisted into an emergency
authorized by the constitution to pre-
serve an existing public institu-
tion''2
OF course, it is taken for granted
that the legislature, bowling to the
will OF the state machine, will pass
an act. with the emergency clause at
tached, to amend the primary law.
Then, unless Mr.. Richards. is not
himself. or has not won his case be-
fore the supreme court of the United
States, the referendum will be in
voked, in all probability. and the SUI
preme court will be appealed to by
the state administration to preserve"
one OF the existing public institu-
tons OF the state,
We shall await the courts response
with some degree Of curiosity. to say
the least!
