Mandamus Fight in Supreme Court Over Primary Date
In a Missouri Supreme Court action, J H Bass seeks a mandamus to force a new primary under the 1898 law, arguing the 1900 March 3 date set by J A Jeffers and the Republican county central committee violates the 1808 law requiring May 1 or later. Bass represents opponents of Len Small for state senator. The State Board of Pardons in Springfield also weighs several cases.
