SPECIAL 10 The Washington Herald.
Richmond. Va. Nov. 17.-Speaker Rich
ard Evelyn Byrd. OF the Virginia house OF
delegates Is drafting a state primary bill.
which he hopes wiz cure some OF the de-
fscts in tho present system OF nominating
candidates for state offices. The main
feature OF the bill provides that all cleo
ton safeguards against fraud shall be
placed around the primary and that the
expenses or il shall be paid by the state.
Both Of these provisions are important.
Every primary In Virginia Is followed by
moro or less talk that It was not properly
conducted. BY legallzing the primary in
stead OF allowing the party committee 20
make rules for II the primary Will be
held under the laws OF the State and not
under tho rules Of some partisan com
mittee-
The expense Of the primaries have al
ways been an objection. The assessment
OF candidates from 500 to $500 have
always given ground for the charge that
the primary is for the rich and debars
the poor. II the State pays the expenses
then the poor man can enter the primary
on the same footing.
Another feature Mr.. Byrd has under
consideration IS the provision making the
primaries compulsory. At the present
time the Democrats IS the only party
using the primary system OF nominating
candidates IN Virginia. Other political
parties adhere to the old convention sys-
tenn. II this feature is put IN the primary
Il will mean that nominations Of candi-
dates connot be agreed upon twenty
four hours before a convention and rail-
roaded through the gatherings by the
leaders.
