Abolish Per Cent Clause.

The enrolment and - per cent,
clauses of the primary election stat
ute of Michigan are practically things
Of the past. They will actually cease
"a exist in "A mighty few days, FOR the
House PASSED the James bill with but
an INSIGNIFICANT amendment in which
the Senate will concur, after which
the bill will go To the governor for
bis signature All the vital amend
ments In the measure "a originally
introduced were made by Senator
James himself.
The llll was passed by a vote of 81
to |, Representative Pctermann being
the one who voted against it and this
tecause. he explained, he did not APP
prove the adjustment of the Is per
cent clause.
The measure simplitcs the primary
election system. II provides that the
names of the candidates of all parties
shall bc placed upon one ballot. At
the top of each ticket will be "A circle
i'm which the voter should make a
cross, sisnifying his party preference
He is then bound To vote that partys
ticket, for il he goes outside that par
ticular party the votes So cast are
void. Z the elector fails To make his
cross in the circle, bet votes in one
rarity column only. his vote will be
counted. II. however, he goes To split
ting his ballot it will become void
The idea is To give 10 each voter
the FULLEST freedom of expressing him
self without announcing 70 anybody
what lis politics is but at the same
time to confine each voter TO a single
party in the primary.
The one amendment made i'm the
House was offered nv Representative
Bird. This provides that in cases
where there are no contests for nom
nations. the clerk Of the city or coun-
ty or secretary OF state. as the case
may be. shall so certify and declare
