1t must be confessed that the
new primary election law is not the
perfection of human wisdom. 1t
is crude, confusing, uncertain as tc
some Of its provisions, and diff
cult Of being Understood thing
of shreds and patches put together
without full knowledge of what
was being done or adequate con-
sideration. The Secretary of State
gave one Interpretation to it and
sent out instructions to the various
Boards of Registry and Elections
for their government in the adj
ministration of the law, and now
comes the Attorney General over
ruling the State Department and
putting forth a radically different
construction which, even if erro-
neous, must be accepted and acted
upon until overthrown by the
courts. 1t is in the highest degree
unfortunate that this conflict of
authority happens only few days
before the first meeting of the
Boards of Registry, which are to be
held on Tuesday next, as it is
certain to add to the confusion
already existing in the public
mind about the provisions of the
law. ss '.s's.s
The necessity for this new adj
dition to our election machinery
has been called in question, but
something of its nature is "long
felt want" in certain localities of
the State, especially in the counties
of Hudson, Essex and Camden
If reports are to be believed, pri-
mary meetings Of both parties in
these counties have been for years
past little less than farce. And
even in Morristown not very long
since primary was held that was
attended by only about eighty per-
sons, including members of the
opposite party to the one calling
it, minors and aliens, at which over
two hundred votes were cast.
They had been chucked by the
handful into the hat used for a
ballot box by the over-zealous
friends of one of the candidates.
The uncertainties Of the law,
however, affect only those CON
cerned in administering it. The
voting process is very simple. If
a Republican, all a voter has to do
when he enters the polling place is
to ask for Republican ticket,
retire to booth and fix it up to
suit him by erasing any super
fluous names or the names Of any
persons for whom he does not
desire to vote, hand il to Re
publican Inspector who will place
il in the Republican ballot box,
