Proposed Amendments to the House Bill and
Senate Substitute.

Senate Substitute.
Senator Faulkner yesterday offered several
amendments to the federal election bill. both
to the House bill and the Senate substitute.
They embrace the following points: An amend
ment to the House bill strikes ont the provision
requiring supervisors to observe and scrutinize
the manner in which naturalizations are made
1t also strikes out the provision of the bill
authorizing the canvassing board to consider
other papers than statements and certificates
made by thesupervisors of election. This amend
ment would limit the powers OF the canvassing
board to simple tabulation of the returns.
Another amendment limits the term of Office
OF the chief supervisor to period of two years
from the date Of his appointment, altering that
provision which gives him the right to hold
from the date of his appointment so long as he
is faithful and capable. In addition it pro-
vides for the appointment of the supervisors
by the district instead of the circuit court of
the United States.
Another amendment to the Senate substitute
limits the right OF the chief supervisor to as
sign any supervisor of election to any poll so
as to except an election precinct in the county
in which the supervisor resides Under the
House and Senate bills the supervisor could be
assigned TO any precinct within the congress
sional district in which he resides.
Still another amendment strikes out the para
graph which provides a special inquiry as to
naturaized American citizens on the ground
that it draws q distinction in the right to e1-
anime as to the qualifications of the voter be-
tween American citizens and naturalized citi-
Zens.
1t is proposed to amend section "a Of the Sen
ate substitute by providing that commits
sioner of the court and not the chief super
visor shall administer oaths to supervisors of
election and special deputy marshals at COM
pensatiOn of 25 cents each. An amendment is
proposed to the section of the Senate cub
stitute (Which prohibits the removal of ballot
boxes from the room during an election), 80 as
to conform to certain state practices where the
canvassers begin the count as soon as s0n votes
are cast.
Senator Butler also proposed an amendment
to thet section of the Senate substitute which
specifies the places and manner in which cleo
tons are to be supervised, 80 as to strike out
the congressional district, cities of more than
10000 inhabitants, parish, towns and election
precincts and requirement OF supervision
upon petition from citizens. In place thereof
the amendment proposes supervision under the
following general condition: The chief SUPER
visor of election for each judicial district of
the United States shall take such action as
may be requisite to secure such supervision in
every congressional district as is provided by
the laws OF the United States.".
