NOT IN FAVOR
 OF NEW ELECTION LAWS
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Montgomery, July 14-(Special.) )-Gover- nor Henderson looks with little favor on the bills passed by the legislature last February at the instance of the state democratic executive committee which provide for a revolution in the manner of electing officials in Alabama.
 It is his opinion, according to a state ment this afternoon, the new laws would not mitigate but would accentuate the bit terness which political campaigns engen- der in Alabama that they would offer incentives for the practice of fraud in elections, and that as a result of the red tape attached to the registration of voters would materially decrease the number of those who participate in cleo tions.

For the above reasons the governor will not sign the election bills He will not amend them in such manner that they would more nearly accord with his own ideas. Instead, he will permit them to lie on his desk, and in time become oper- ative under the constitution automati- oally ,as all bills do which are neither indorsed nor rejected by the chief exec utive
 The bills provide that voter may ex- press his preference for both a first and second choice candidate. thus obviating the necessity of holding more than one primary to obtain the expression of the majority. and that the final date of reg istration shall be the final date of poll tax payments, February l each year.
 The measures will be effective as soon as they become law automatically.
