ELECTION LAW
IN THE BALANCE
Political Committees Unable to
Frame Course of Action
in Matter

No conclusion was reached by the
Republican and Democratic City
Committees last night as TO what
recommendation shall be made as
amendments to the ballot law, to the
Legislature when it reconvenes on
Monday.
Objection was made by some OF the
members of the Legislature who we're
present to passing any amendments
TO the law i'm the two remaining days
OF the General Assembly and for that
reason nothing definite was accom-
plished.
The conference was held in the
rooms of the Democratic city commit
tee at East Seventh street. The
Democrats who attended were: State
Chairman Thomas f. Bayard. City
Chairman Daniel p DuRoss, Speaker
Chauncey p. Holcomb. Senator Thorn
as +. Gormley and Representatives
Timothy J. Mooney and 4. o. Cooper
The Republicans present were: Harry
II. Billany, chairman of the First dis
trict committee; Senator Frank p.
Ewing. Representative Charles II.
Grantland and j. Hadley Lewis Of the
department of elections.
The main point under discussion
was the provision which requires par
ty tickets to be filed 20 days before
election 1t has been found that this
provision practically works out as
poorly for one party as another,
since no party can hold its primary
on Saturday without difficulties
arising.
Assemblymen who are Directing to
any amendments to the ballot, law be-
ing considered next week say that no
great hardship will be caused for this
one municipal election and that after
1t has been tested once, needed
amendments can be added by the
session of 1915. They point out that
to be on the safe side the primaries
OF all parties this year will have to be
held on a day other than Saturday
between May 10 and II.
other changes in the election ma
chinerv due to the new ballot law
we're also discussed at the confer
ence. Formerly at city elections tick
cts we're filed with the department oil
elections and the ballots were print
ed under the direction of that body
Under the new law all tickets mus
be filed with the Jerk Of the peace
and all ballot. printed and distribu
ted under his supervision. Another
point raised in the application of thu
new law is the disposal of the bal
lots after they have been ounted. l
is provided that disputed ballots shall
be preserved, but no provision ii
made Tor the preservation or destruc
ton of counted ballots other thar
that they shall be returned to the bal
lot box. The presumption is that tn
provisions of the old ballot law vii
hold where they are not inconsisten
with the latest act.
The new law also states that tn
shallengers shall be appointed by tn
chairman of the county committees
Obviously the county chairman ha
no supervision over city cam
paign, md the party leaders in thi
city say that the law should b
amended at this point. In addition
similar difficulty is encountered j
the section which provides that th
clerk of the peace shall deliver bal
lots for distribution to count
chairmen"

gun al your foot and you feel the
redhot needles travel up your leg and
come out at the knee, not all at once.

pie of needles have finished the course
you find yourself sweating with fear
and wondering how long 1t will be be-
fore the fellow fires the gun again.
Presently you find he is under con-
tract to fire it every FIVE minutes, and
you get ready for the discharge. but
you can never be said to get accustom-
ed to it. because the BLACKBOARD loads
it with a new kind of redhot needle

a dozen redhot corkscrews. That's the
