FAVOR OPEN BALLOT.
OF more seriousness to KereniSTn than
any other development of the day was the
threat heard on every side by opponents
of this sort of politics to remain out of
the CAUCUS unless an open ballot was
taken On the senatorship. Though this
matter was ignored by the State Commit
tee. members elect and party leaders dis
cussed the subject freely
Il sa-ved in the last session said one
member e.ect. The secret ballot is for
no other reason than the covering Of some
fellows treachery and duplicity. The Con-
Stitution SAYS that every mans vote in
the Assembly shall be recorded IN the
open BY roll call, yet here are lot OF
petty sneaks who cover their own guilt
and hide their actions from their constitu-
ents hy n secret ballot
within a short time 4 number of the
members elect Will get together and stay
out of a caucus unless 1t is conducted in
the open and abovebosrd by roll call
The day of secret ballots is past. The
man who gets the nomination by that
means may depend upon it that he will
not be elected Senator.
Those familiar with legislative politics
have seen the secret caucus made the
cloak for treachery to constituents more
times than one Invariably II is the hon
est member who suffers. for he who be-
trays his friends in secret ballot always
accuses honest men OF making the
