preferences of the voters, bdt on tie whim
or caprice of these election challengers or
watchers, to be selected from lists submit
ted by tie new County committees, as has
heretofore been pointed out"
This bill in several of It's sections pro-
vides that the general election laws of the
State shall be applicable to the holiing OF
primary elections under this bill, SO far as
the same are consistent with tets act After
making this plausible provision the bill
provides that primary elections shall be
held by the same election officers, but that
separate ballot boxes shall be used, when
the same election officers conduct the pri-
mary on the same day and in the same
place, it is difficult to conceive, but what
ever difficulty might be experienced is at
once removed when one reads in Section
% of the bill thas the ballots of the ma
ioriiy party shall be prin.ed on red paper
and those of the minority party on yellow

for Governor, Railroad Commissioners,
senators ana Representatives in Congress,
and it is also apparent why primary
Tor members OF such new County commit
tees is provided for the third Wednesday
in September, 1915, or year before the
terms OF the present committees expire.
another feature OF this bill, which is
worthy OF note as high-handed illustra-
ton OF Would-be mach ne rule, is the one
which purports to prescribe and regulate
the right of voters to participate III any
primary held under the provisions OF the
bill. 1t is made unlawful by the bill for
any person to call for or vote ballot at
any such primary or party election except
the ballot OF the party to which ne belongs,
and any person no has reason 10 believe
that the ballot called for by the voter does
not represent the political party to which
the voter belongs, may challenge such vote,
and such voter shall not be entitled to cast
MS ballot until he establishes to the salts
faction of the judges of the election that
such ballot represents the political party
tn viii n such voter is affiliated, and be-
fore any ballot can be deposited in the box
the voter is required to state his name,
residence and party utilization for the judges
OF the election, and one OF such judges is
therenpon required TO announce the same
in distinct tone of voice, suffic e ty loud
to be heard by all persons in the voting
place. If challenged, no person snail be
allowed to vote unless he will first make
written oath or affirmation as to his party
loyalty and allegiance
1t is manifest that under these provi-
sions of this bill any voter who had been
known for years to be affiliated with the
Democratic party, but who, for satisfactory
reasons to himself, had bona fde deter
mined to vote for a candidate Of the Re-
publican party, would be subject to chal-
leage by any challenger or watcher in the
voting place, on the ground that having
n the past been Democrat he could not
row vote for the candidate of the other
pr n ,ipa political party, and, therefore, all
VI tie so challenged could not participate
in such primary. THIS is coercion with
a vengeance, as it leaves the number OF
votes to be cast in such primary almost
wholly dependent, not on the wishes or

SOME OF THE THINGS
IN THE PRIMARY BILL.

We take a few comments on the
primary law now before the Legisla-
ture from the Nashville Banner.
1t is plain to be seen that it seeks
to pepetuate in office those who are in
offlco, and the whole scheme is to
leave nothing to chance.
1t is cunningly phrased, but it does
not fool knowing ones, and any at
tempt to foist such law upon the
people will meet with rebuke.
Following are a few of the things
incorporated in the bill:
On the third "Wednesday in September,
1918, mandatory primaries are to be held
in every county in the State for the pur-
pose OF selecting new County committees.
Why such new committees should be
selected more than a year in advance of
the expiration of the terms of the present
County committees would seem strange
were it not for the fact that these new
committees are required by the bill to fur
nish lists of qualified voters in each county
who shall act as officers to hold said pri-
mary elections and as watchers in the va
rious voting precincts of the County, and
such officers and watchers, the bill pro-
vides, shall be selected from the lists
so submitted to the County Election Com
m 81 ncr'hy u;hnew County committees.
"As the bill provides for the United
States Senatorial primary to be held on
the third Wednesday in September, 1916,
it becomes quite apparent why County
committees are grouped with candidates
