DISCRIMINATION
IS AVOIDED UNDER
new PRIMARY Law.
Rotation of Names Based on
Population Of Counties and
Precincts.

Des Moines, Ia, April 15.-Much in
terest has been expressed as to the
provisions OF the amendment to the
state primary law providing rotation
of names OF candidates as 1t passed
the two houses OF the legislature on the
last day OF the session. This bill Is
designed to equalize what has hitherto
been declared an unfair discrimination
by virtue of mans name. Hereafter
will have no better position on the
ballot than he whose name begins with
u. There has been much complaint in
the past because Of the alphabetical
discrimination.
Under the provisions of the new law,
1T becomes incumbent upon the secre-
tary Of state to make a list Of the coun-
ties OF the state in order of the party
vote. that is. by placing that county
with the highest party vote first, the
one with the next highest party vote
second, and so on through the 80 coun-
ties. Then he must, under the law, ar
range the names of candidates for
state Office in alphabetical order and
so place them on the ballot in the first
county. For the second county, he
places the names of those first In the
first county at the foot of their respec-
tive lists, making the name that was
second first. In the third county he
repeates the operation until the list is
an Office. by rotation, has his name
first on the ballot. 1t is figured that
with the counties arranged in this
manner every candidate will be first
on about the same number Of ballots.
For county officers, the county auditor
nrranges the ballots in the same man
ner taking precincts for the unit.
