The rules and regulations for the Re
publican primaries were completed to-
day. and it was said this afternoon that
unless something Unforeseen occurs they
will be adopted at the meeting Of the
committee which was appointed to draft
them tonight at the office OF Chairman
Chaplin Brown. While the rules follow
those OF four years ago in soine respects,
they contain many radical departures.
The main new points are as follows:
Recomme ndations are made that no
convention be held, but that the judges
ard other candidates be elected directly
by the voters.
1t Is provided that all Of the voters
must register their names and addresses
at polling places before they cast their
votes.
1t has been decided that there shall
be three judges from each of the TWEEN
ty-two old legislative districts. all Of
whom are TO be appointed by the rules
committee. Names may be submitted
by the various organization. The Judges
viii elect chairman and secretary

Duty to Judges.
Judges must see that every voter reg
listers, must count the votes, and certify
TO them, either as a whole body or by
a majority.
returning board Of five members is
provided for, TO recount and certify to
the correctness of the vote. which viii
be appointed by the committee.
An Official ballot Will be prOvidned. on
which the names of all the candidates
must be printed.
No date is set for the primaries, but
the committee recommends that they be
held between May and MAY 8
Members Of the committee are max
ing every effort to haYe an honest cleo

the old rulcs have been decided upon
