MAKE CHANGES
IN CERAN BILL
Official Ballots Only at
Polling Places.
Especial Cerrespondence.)

Trenton, March 3:-As a result
OF q. number of conferences between
Governor Wilson and Democratic
legislative leaders, important
changes have been made to the
Geran election and primary bill that
will overcome much of the opposi-
ton directed against the measure as
originally Antroduced into the lcgis-
lature. The altered bill will be one
OF the chief subjects to be discussed
by the governor and the Democratic
assenlbiymen at the conference ar
ranged to take place next Monday
afternoon. One of the principle
changes decided upon is a provision
prohibiting the distribution of any,
thing but a sample of the official
ballot before election day. It ia now
proposed that voters shall" not re-
ceive the balloE which they will cast
officially until 1t is presented to them
at the polling place on election day.
In order that voters may become
acquainted with the form and names
of candidates on the official ballot
before called upon to cast it official
ly, a sample ballot printed on red
paper will be distributed at public
expense to voters a week before
election.
Another important change decid-
ed upon is to eliminate the section
which proposed to require all natur-
allied citizens to present their nat
uralization papers to the election
officers before being permitted to
exercise their voting rights. This
change was made in Difference to
the large ~naturalized vote cast in
the centers of population.
