PRIMARY LAW
IS ALTERED

Last week Governor Davis signed
the direct primary bill as it came from
the legislature He had threatened
to veto it and no doubt would have
done so had not the legislature agreed
to certain changes. AS the bill was
no longer in the possession of the leg
islature it could not alter it and the
governor could not return it for fur
Their action excepting attached to a
veto message. After the agreement to
amend the bill, however, the governor
made it a law and the amendments
have been made. The principal
change relates to filing nomination pa
pers. The original measure pro-
vided that the certificate of the coun-
ty chairman as to the candidates pol
itics was to be attached. Governor
Davis regarded that as too much pow
err to be placed in one mans hands
and the feature was eliminated. I'm
der the change members of the party
may certify.
The new primary law provides for
a state convention of each party but
the delegates are selected at coun-
ty primary which brings out an ex-
pressive vote.
The primary law has been amended
to this extent in response to a state
wide demand. Dissatisfaction with
the old system was general because
of the unnecessary political turmoil
the inability to induce men 20 enter
the lists for offices they are qualified
to hold, the premium placed upon in.
competency and even worse. because
of lack of public knowledge of the
qualifications of many candidates
total strangers, the expense and Other
reasons.
All county and legislative, also dis
trict, offices will be filed at the coun
lty primary There was a feeling tina
the entire law should be repealed blu
it was believed that where it was pos
sible for the people to know the can
didates, as in any county, it was bet
ter to retain that portion of the &C
and modify the statewide feature.
Democrats in the legislature joine'
with the republicans in passing tn
law and the name of democrat, Sen
ator Farraday. of Gilmore county, ap
pears on the bill.

revealed by analysis of state house ac-

the tax levy was held down to such a
