of newspaper men from counties
outside the jurisdiction of the club.

while friendly to the direct pri-

choice provision; requiring designa-
tion of party affl1iation at time of reg
istration; amendments of registration
law to avoid the necessity of complete
new registration at each election by
transcribing the names of all who
voted at the last proceeding general
election and providing for the-regis-
tration of such electors, as failed to
vote or who have since become voters
removal of restrictions against news
paper publicity and allowing candi-
dates or their friends to use the papers
for publicity purposes but requiring
such matter to be marked sadvertis-
ing and accounted for as other cam
palgn expenses; providing for the
PRONUNCIATION of party platform and
principles in advance of the time o.
holding the primaries; forbiding the
free transportation of voters to anC
from the polls; removing the restric
tions placed upon candidates as to th'
amount of mo ney they may expenc
