THE CAUCUS LAW.
Its Provisions Explained by Cummls-
sloner BIodgstt.
Republican Committee Fixes Dates for
Caucuses and Conventions.


The Republican city committee met
last evening, Chairman r. r. Olney pre-
siding, and after listening TO an expla-
nation OF the provisions of the new
caucus law. which was made by Chair
man John II. Blodgett of the board OF
canvassers and registration. proceeded
to set the dates for the caucuses and
the city convention.
The committee voted unanimously
that the caucuses for wardens. district
clerks, delegates TO city convention and
school committee will be held on Octo-
Der 10. Caucuses for members OF the
city council Will be held on October 25.
The committee fixed the date for the
city convention on October 81 at 4
o'clock. Messrs. Frank Il. Easton, AL
bert y. Baker and Roswell G. Smith
were appointed committee TO draw un
rules and regulations for the caucuses
under the new act.
Mr.. John Il. Blodgett explained that
the new caucus law will prevent men
who have participated in the caucus of
one political party from taking part in
another for that particular election
This will, OF course, be prevented by
the use OF the check list, on which the
names of the electors will be checked
caucuses for that election. Mr.. Blod-
gett then explained that no party tnat
had failed TO make nominations at the
next preceding election and secured 2
per cent. OF the entire vote had a right
to make nominations The method OF
making nominations by the signing of
nomination papers, however, had been
broadened. Under the new act so sig
natures would be sufficient to make
afsaaf fcr int ssff
fore.
In relation to section OF the act. II
was pointed out that men affiliated with
one political party, and participating
In the caucus OF that party could not
take part I'm the primary meetings OF
another political party. The question
was asked how the caucus officers were
TO determine that question OF afiiliation.
Mr.. Blodgett said the committee might
make rules to govern the caucus off,
GERS in this respect. There was, OF
course, the right of challenge, but IL
Democrat goes into a Republican eau
Gus and states that he is going TO sup
port his candidate OF the caucus at the
polls there would be no cause for chal-
lenge The method OF marking the
check list was also explained by Mr..
Blodgett. He said the Republicans
would check their names with red pen
ellis and the Democrats with blue. No
person participating In a caucus can
sign nomination papers.
II was further explained that In vot-
ing for the candidates all the names
shall be on one ballot, and the elector
may run his pencil through any name
and write in substitute II he so de-
sires. Mr.. Blodgett stated that mas
much as the city committee OF both
parties are properly recognized. there
was no absolute necessity for them to
send a list Of their officers and members
TO the board Of canvassers and regis
tration within 10 days OF the passage OF
the act.
