 ton,' one of the strongest and most independent republican members of the state legislature is said to be a
 candidate for Senator in his senator
 ial district. The state machine will probably oppose his nomination as he has not been friendly on many occa- sions when important measures were to be voted upon in the gen. eral assembly. Hank Hall, as he is popularly known, can always be found voting on the right side, and his strength lies with his constituents. Bridgeport Telegram.
 Absenteeism in Congress hops up as an interesting subject of unpleas- ant talk in both houses this session
 more frequently than ever before. It is one of the ways in which the mod ern liberty we take with one another finds expression. If one offends, it is quite one thing to point at him and say so. One member of the house has just returned his salary for the week during which he was absent campaign ing. He did it quietly and blushed to find it known. He says he simply conformed to the law. His act sets him free to rebuke others who do not conf bury American.
 Most men pride themselves on their independence of fashion plates. They laugh at the women for subserviency to the Paris dressmaker. Then they proceed to demonstrate their indepen- dence, by wearing through hot weather the stiff starched collars that throttle their perspiring necks. In the circles of simpler living, more philosophic habit prevails. The farmer or the mechanic has nothing to lose by dressing for his work. But if the lawyer or business man walked down to his office collarless, and with sleeves rolled to his elbows, his stenographer would ask mamma if it was proper place for her to york; Bridgeport Farmer.

THE new ELECTION LAW

George A. Bartlett, who has
been criticising the new election
law, says it should be about the
first to 60 into the scrap heap sug-
gested. by George WinRfeId for
half the laws of the state. When
interviewed by>an Appeal man to-
day. Mr.. Bartlett submitted the
following:
Is the Act of March 81, 1913
IAN Act relating to election and
removals from ofice"-c6nstitu-
tional?"
This Act was supposed to be a
compilation of all the then existing
election laws, and was introduced
in the assembly late in the SEES
sion and slid through the senate
during its last hours.
1t was not supposed to contain
any material changes in the law and
it was accepted as a compilation
without critical examination.
The Act contains some radical
changes, particularly in reference
TO the primary election law. The
legislature of 1911, in accordance
with the platform declarations of
the political parties, provided for
n ballot for all party tickets.
This was understood to be done at
the request of organized labor, their
representatives contending that
many electors working for large
corporations would not vote when
they had to disclose their politics
for fear of losing their job The
Act of 1918 provides for separate
tickets again; an elector cannot
vote at a primary election at all IN
less he previously registers his
party affiliations. While the Act
provides that in order to vote at a
primary election n voter must
register according to his party
'aHiliation. The Act also provides
that the registration of the last
preceding election shall be used
and that supplementary registra-
tion for new voters may be made.
The old registration books show no
party utilization; this raises a nice
question to scrap over.
Another important change re.
lates to the form of affidavit for a
candidate at a primary election.
He must swear that II affiliated
with such party at. the last general
election" The Act thus puts the
stamp of disapproval upon an cleo
tor changing his mind in politics
1t is an inalienable right for any
elector to leave one party and join
another whenever he sees fit to do
SO; why should this disqualify
him from office? The most remark
able thing about this new Act is
that it contains nearly twenty Sec
tions (Secs 54-83 Of Chap. d which
had previously been held uncon-
stitutional al they appeared in the
old election laws. These sections
relate to impeachments and remoy-
ais from Office.
In the ease of Bell versus Dis
trict Court, 28th Nevada '297, the
Supreme court said: "The subject
OF the Act 10 question is elections,
it's purpose and object is the order
ly election Of pnhlic off by the
qualified voters of the state. The
trial of an officer, after ne has been
Sd elected, for malfeasance in office,
his removal, and the appointment
Of his because Of such
removal, has no proper connection
whatever with elections"
