Johnson, C. J., (concurring). I concur with the majority that act 38 of 1933 is amendatory of prior primary election laws and that the initiated act of 1917 as amended by act 19 of 1919 is applicable thereto and gives a right of contest to all defeated candidates at such runoff primary election. For this reason only the application for prohibition should be denied. The determination by the majority that the complaint of the contestant filed in the Arkansas Circuit Court is sufficient against demurrer is unwarranted. This question is not before us and cannot be until brought here by appeal. Equitable Life Insurance Society v. Mann, ante p. 751, and cases there cited.
