SIX ELECTION BILLS.
Measures Introduced to Guard
Integrity of Ballot.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribune


Albany March 31.-Assemblyman Ward
introduced to-day series of bills designed
TO put additional obstacles in the way or
fraudulent registration and voting. The SIN
measures came from the State Superintend-
ent of Elections. While they would supple
ment in general way the measures pro-
posed by the New York County Republican
Committee which Herbert Parsons charged
were killed last year because of combina-
ton of Republicans and Democrats on
Washington and Albany matters, these ne"
bills are not county committee measures
The first is a bill which was killed last
year 1t provides that in any case OF al
legged fraudulent registration in the metro
politan district the dispositions of witnesses
sworn to before the State Superintendent
Of Elections or his deputy shall be accepted
by any magistrate in lieu of dispositions or
testimony produced by a prosecutor before
the magistrate. The present law provides
that the magistrate must examine in per-
son the prosecutor or informant and his
witnesses.
Another bill provides that the poll book
containing the signatures of electors must
be kept on file in the office Of the Superin-
tendent of Elections. third provides that
each natUralized citizen before registering
IluSl pFpuuCe MS NATURALIZATION
or certified copy of IL. Still another pro
vides that the hour of taking challenge aft
davits be included in those documents.
fifth shortens the time within which sppli-
cation to the courts to have names placed
on the register may be made. This measure
provides that application must be made at
least six days before election. instead of at
least two days prior to the second Saturday
before election II stipulates that II the
application be granted the Board of Reg
istry must meet the Saturday before the
election instead OF on the second Saturday
before that day. The last bill provides that
one copy of the registers after registration
day shall be filed with the Superintendent
OF Elections. SO he may have all the facts
therein set forth aid in his work.
These measures will undoubtedly be op-
posed tooth and nail by the Tammany Hall
members. The situation at Washington. a.
well as here, has changed somewhat since
the slaughter of the Parsons election bills
last year, SO they and these bills will have
more of a chance of passage than they had
a session ago.
