New Primary Election Law.

The senate by vote of % to 4
passed the Cary bill, amending the
state primary election law after it had
been stripped OF nearly every feature
as it passed the house. The amend
ments agreed on after a conference Uf
the Senate Committee on Suffrage and
Elections were adopted. but others Of
fered by Republicans were voted
down. The Cary bill as amended now
goes back to the house for concurrence
in the senate amendments. The dis
senting votes were cast by Senators
Arth, BOsworth, Brock and Holman,
all Republicans. AS it passed the
house the Cary bill provided that the
ballots as well as the stubs be num-
bered in order to identify the ballots
in case of fraud and eliminated the pc
tition method for candidates to get on
the ballot. but these were stricken out
by the agreed committee amendments.
About the only change made IN the
primary election law as passed at the
1912 session of the legislature, is max
ing it punishable by fine of 500 for
any election officer to knowingly per-
nit a voter of one party in the pri-
mary OF another party, or for a voter
to vote in the primary of another party
than to which he is entitled.
