CONTROL OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS.
Buffalo. Jan. 6-Assembyman Henry ". Hill
will introduce a Albany next week primary cleo
tions bill putting the conduct OF the primary into
tho hands OF the regular election officers. The bill
IS the result OF an investigation recently made by
the Buffalo Republican League and in nearly all
of its details 1t has been taken from statutes in
force In other States.
The bill Will apply only to cities and villages
where personal registration IS now required and
to the choice OF delegates 10 all conventions other
than State conventions. II will name the first TWO
registration days a week earlier than and
make them annual primary days all parties hold
Ing their primaries at the same time. 1t will pro-
vide that the voter coming 10 register shall
have the right TO affiliate with any political party,
is the law in Kentucky TO receive his
party's primary ballot and retire 10 the cOmpart-
ments mark the ballot and cast IT, much as is done
now on Election Day
The ballots will be prepared by the public au-
thorites on certificates from the secretaries Of the
party organizations. who will be obliged 20 certify
the name Of any person nominated to them by any
ten electors in any election district The ballots
than those furnished on Election Day.
The bill Nil also provide generally FOR party
committees but viii leave them Lree liberties in
the making OF thor own rules, and VIII lay down
only few simple provisions TO control conYen-
tons.
Ii is contended that tho bill should Il become a
law will decrease the possibility OF factional dis
cord within parties and increase the sZo OF party
ORGANIZATIONS, while at the same time making
'hcm more democratic.
