DifIeteHees Between Bills.
The chief difference between the spe-
ciai primary re- JrTn bill reported ty l
the special committee from the sen4
ate and the primary reform bill intro
duced by the 5,ld Iclary committee 0fj
the house is that tho former does not /
provide 8, special board OF primary
registration but leaves the enrolment
OF voters to the secretarieE Of clubs

they both provide for duplicate rolls az !.
