Action of Redistricting State
Endangers Democratic and
Republican Electors.
CAUSED BY AN OVERSIGHT
Secretary Of State Says There Is Still
Time for Action in Putting
Names on Ticket.

S Baton Rouge.-Only the Progressive
and the Socialists have an electoral
ticket in Louisiana formed according
to the Federal law requiring electors
from a district to reside therein. The
remembrance of this law, and of the
fact that the Democratic convention
was held early in June, before the re-
districting bill went into effect, has
brought the realization that the Demo
cratic electoral ticket has no legal
representative from the new Eighth
District, and Fourth District, and that
unless some way out of the tangle
is found the electoral college votes
default to the Progressives or the So
cilaists in the Eighth, and in the Sew
enth and Fourth, to the. Progressives,
the Socialists or the Republicans.
When the Democratic convention
met it selected Hampden Story, of
Crowley, the Seventh District, as third
elector at large to cover the new dis
trict to which Louisiana was entitled,
but which had not been framed. D..
c. Scarborough, Of Natchitoches, was
selected for the old Fourth, and j. w.
Joffrion, of Avoyelles, of the old
Seventh.
The redistricting bill of course legis-
lated Story off the ticket, because the
state was no longer entitled to the
third elector at large. Mr.. Scarbor
ough and Mr.. Joffrion were each leg
islated into the new Eighth and out
of their old districts.
Thus the Democrats have no repre-
sentation from the Eighth, the Seventh
and the Fourth
According to an opinion expressed
by Secretary of State Alvin Hebert,
after perusal Of the election law,
there will be no trobule in having new
electors placed on the ticket by the
Democrats
The election law provides merely
ts.st the electors DC each PARTY be
placed on the ticket every fourth year,
and that the same laws governing the
election of other officers are to govern
the election of electors
In cases of a vacancy due to Fesig.
nation or any irregularity in the Sc
lection of nominee of party, the
law provides that another nominee is
to be selected in the same way as the
original nominee was named. Under
this section it is claimed new cleo
tors could be named by the central
committee.
The time limit is Is days before
the election.
