NO|NG Of LEGISLATURE
Bill to Amend the Direct
Primary Law.
SECOND CHOICE OPTIONAL
Proposed Capitol Bond Issue May
be Reduced.

A bill introduced last week by
Senators Potts and St. Clair re-
peals the direct primary law and
substitutes proposed act ampli-
tying it in important particulars.
The election is to be held IN July
instead OF August and the second
choice vote is made permissible,
but not mandatory as at present.
There is a provision compelling a
voter, if challenged, 10 take oath
that he intends to support at the
general election the majority of
the candidates of the party whose
primary ticket he votes.
Each voter when he registers
would be required to designate his
party affiliation. AT the primary
he would be given only the ticker
OF the party he is registered for.
Provision is made for state and
county platform conventions, the
former to be made up of delegates
from each county. At present the
state central committee formulates
the platform. Forty instead OF 81
per cent of the first choice votes
is required to nominate. The ex-
pense allowance OF candidates is
made more liberal. For legislative
and commissioner candidates it is
SIoo; for other county Offices, 10
per cent Of the annual salary; for
district judges, IS per cent, and
for state officers IS per cent. A
/; double set Of judges to facilitate
| the count is authorized. Aside
from these features the law stands
practically as it is.
