the Club District.

Sweeping in the changes in the
rules and constitution to safeguard
and reform the primary elections
were passed by the State Democratic
convention, which adjourned sine die
late Thursday afternoon, after a ses'
sion lasting two days.
The convention worked steadily
throughout the day and all during
the afternoon, refusing to recess fol-
dinner. The determination Of the
convention to carry through the re-
port Of the overwhelming majority
of the committee on constitution and
rules was shown in the steady man
ner which it proceeded to reject
amendments after amendments
which were rained in following the
tabling of the minority report Of the
committee.
The main fight Of the minority
was made on the report of the major
ity Of the committee, which called for
personal enrolment, and providing
for residence Of two years in the
State, six months in the county and
sixty days in the voting precinct as
qualifications to establish residence
before being eligible to participate in
the primaries.
Strenuous efforts Of the minority
to knock out the personal enrolment
were unsuccessful, IS heavy majori-
ties were recorded time and again
in favor Of the majority report. All
amendment by Senator Clifton, al
lowing the voter to enroll by either
applying to the secretary of his club
in person or on written application,
signed by a witness, was rejected by
a vote Of 256 to SIS.
1t was notable that not a single
speech yas made in the convention
in favor OF leaving the rules Of the
party to stand as adopted in 1912.
The questions raised were simply
what changes should be made to safe
guard primary elections effectively.
There was sharp division be-
tween the reports CT the majority
and minority Of the committee on
constitution and rules, the latter in
sisting on b-iefer terms Of residence
in State and county as one qualif-
cation for voting and opposing the
rule presented that voters should
sign the club rolls in persons.
Despite the terrific onslaughts
made by a small minority the Demo
cratic State convention voted down
the minority report Of tho committee
on constitution and rules, which
which would eliminate the personal
enrolment Of voters for the primary
and cutting down the residence nee
essary for qualification from two
years to one year in the State, and
from one year to six months in the
county, which was lated adopted as
an amendment to the majority report
