SPRING ELECTIONS
Governor Stokes Was and is
Against the Merging of Num-
cfpal With State and
National Elections

One of the reasons that has been as
signed for the Democratic successes in
various parts of the State, resulting in
a majority in the House of Assembly, is
the abolition of spring elections, and
the mixing of National and State issues
with municipal affairs, and no doubt a
determined effort will be made to have
the present law changed and the rights
of people in this particular restored
The Republican party is responsible
for the enactment of this obnox ious
law, and it is fitting that they should
do their share toward securing its re-
peal. We are pleased to see that
Governor Stokes, in published inter-
view, leads the way. He says:
mo little confusion in party issues,
is, in my judgment, caused by the
commingling of State and municipal
elections. l never personally favored
the combining of these elections. |
opposed it in the party con ferences, but
was outvoted by the honest judgment
of my legislative colleagues. The
practical workings of this law have
confirmed me in my original opinion
that municipal and State and national
issues should be divorced, so that local
1 rsi1laIrs coulu pe uiscusseu and voted
upon free from the entanglemehts oil
broader problems.
! IL believe that the present system
should be changed. The argument fol
few elections is unanswerable, but this
can be secured by alternating elections,
with municipal elections one year and
State elections the next. This would
Of course, require constitutional
amendment. l shall SO recommend
in my next message to the Legisla
ture.n

They were right In a way. Life In
