4 GENERAL EEGISTRATTON ACT

The prospect for the success OF ballot reform
for New York State ut the present session OF
the Legislature grows brighter every day. The
fact that Senator's Fassett, SaXtOn and Hen
bricks, Republicans, and LinSon and Chase,
Democrats as result OF Il conference have
agreed upon General Registration Act, will
doubtless gain votes in both houses for the
Saxton BILL to which it may be said to be an
annex 1t will be remembered that Senator
Chase declined to sign the committee report
which recommended the passage of the Saxton
bill on the ground that it did not 60 far enough
lie characterized it as simply Ballot-Reform
Act" lie admitted that it would provide " al
most perfect machinery for elections" but in
sisted that in addition it ought, among other
things, to provide for a general registration OF
the voters.
The Republicans of the Senate, on the other
hand. felt that it would be better to make regis
tration the subject OF a separate measure. Ac-

College graduates as well as undergraduates

columns of college news which are regular
feature of the Monday issue Of THE TkIIrNE.
Our correspondents allow nothing OF interest

about these letters for the last few weeks has
been the small amount Of space given to ac-
counts of college pranks. The affair al Rutgers

scrption of lively rumpus between the sopho-
mores and freshmen at Cornell. The bulk OF
our college news. however, consists oil personal

and in particular descriptions Of what Is beng
done in the various sports that engrosS good
share of the modern collegian's attention. This
is good sign.

The working people do not demand ballot re-
form. ELI? So say the enemies of the SaNton bili.
But AT the recent annual convention of the New
York State branch of the American Federation OF
Labor the president in the course OF his address,
named ballot reform as one of the three most ln'-
portant questions that could engage the attention
Of the LEGISLATURE ." In my opinion, lie re-
