Ex-senator General E. B. Harden
bergh was on the Hill last night
Tuesdays Harrisburg Telegraph.)
1t was learned to-day that the
State Legislative Commission on
Codification of Election Laws would
be ready to report in a fortnight and
will recommend some radical chan
ges in the election laws of such i'm
portance that the legislative program
cannot with any degree of certain
ty be mapped out until the nature
of these changes are made known.
One change can be said with assur-
ance and that is the primary cleo
ton will be changed from the spring
until the fall. The intimations of
what the commission will recon-
mend, which have come to the ears
of the committee, has caused it to
withhold any action on questions re-
ferred to it. Already a bill is in
course of preparation, providing for
the fall primary, according to the
Harrisburg Telegraph.
There has been some contention
among the members of the commits
sion and a desire to recommend
some changes which would Tevolu-
tionize the election system in this
state. compromise has been af-
fected by the more conservative
members with the result that the
report will not be as drastic as at
first feared. The organization
leaders are well satisfied with what
they know of the recommendation
and are preparing bills to meet the
recommendation so far as they are
known. All legislation affecting the
election laws will be gone over by
the committee and be reported out
at the end of the two weeks time.
This has been given as authentic by
member of the House.
