Senator Nicholson Will Amend

\ Bill for Safeguarding the
Primary.
AS the bill which Senator B. E
Nicholson introduced at the last
session of the legislature looking
to safeguarding the primary reach
ed third reading in the senate, The
Advertisers representative has in
tc7viewed Mr.. Nicholson concern.
ing the outlook for legislation
along this line at the approaching
session of the general assembly,
and he gave out the following state
ment:
He said that it is his purpose to
introduce certain amendments to
his bill as it now stands, in order
to simplify some provisions that
have been criticised as being too
complicated. He said that it was his
purpose to make the bill so plain
and fair in its terms that it would
appeal to all political factions as
being reasonable and just. He also
said that his sole object in present.
ing the bill was in order to promo Dte
honest elections and to guarantee
fair results. The bill will not re-
strict the suffrage Of the white vot-
ers Of the state nor require any reg
istration certificates or other certl-
ticates to be presented by the voter.
Shall be Enrolled.
In short, the bill provides that
every voter shall be enrolled in the
township or ward in which the vot-
er resides and only in such ward or
township, and that 80 days before
the fist primary election that the
secretary of each club shall make
out and file with the clerk of court
a sworn copy Of the club roll of
each precinct, and that the same
shall be kept on record in the
clerks office, and that no person
shall be allowed to vote in any prl-
mary election whose name Is not
enrolled on the club roll of the pre-
cinct where be is TO vote at least 81
days before the first primary cleo

executive committee of the party
shall meet at the court house in the
respective counties 80 days before
the first primary, and that the said
committee shall have the power to
near objections to any names ap'
praring on any Of the club rolls,
md that if it shall appear that any
names are imprO perly ON such cluD
rolls the said committee shlll have
power to purge the same, alter siv'
ing due notice 10 the persons Affect

Right of Appeal.
The bill also provides for right
of appea! and a speedy hearing oi
the same Oh the part of any person
ltferled by the action OF SAID com.
m.tiee. The bill also contains sec.
tlun authorizing the officers Of the
party to administer oaths and pro-
viding that any person swearing
falsely in regard to any matters
coming before them shall be deem
ed guilty of perjury.
In view of the fact that the bill
is framed along the lines of the
Democratic party rules, and is not
intended to interfere with the right
of suffrage, as it now exists, but
simply undertakes to promote and
Guarantee honest elections without
imposing any undue burdens on the
voter. the author of the bill hopes
that it will receive support from
the members of the general assem-
bly irrespective of Iactlonal lines.
