ALLEN UPHOLDS THE PRIMARY
Governor Vetoes the Measure Aimed
at Present Law-Bin Offered
No Certain Remedy.

Topeka.-Governor Allen has refused
to let the politicians in the state Iegis-
iature tinker with the primary law.
A Dill was passed by both branches
requiring the voters in cities of the
first and second classes to register
their party affiliations before they
could vote at the primaries. The gov
ernor vetoed the bill.
Out of more than twenty states
having direct primary laws, only three
nave made serious effort to limit the
use OF the primary by prescribing par
tlsan registration the governor said.
In none OF these states is the effort
declared to be entirely satisfactory.
In indiana, where they have tried
a partisan registration law with the
same purposes as that sought to be
accomplished by this bill, they are
now modifying it. Their difficulty in
Indiana was that the effect of their
law discouraged registration. In ad-
dlLlon to this it was not as effective
IN correcting the misuse of the parti-
san feature as its author had hoped.
Those who do not believe in the di-
rect primary law have always urged
as their chief objection to it that the
vote IS too light to represent anything
like general expression. The ten
dency of this bill would be to enhance
the objection by making it more diff
cult to interest the voters in the neces-
s1ty of coming to the primary.
However, my chief motive in veto
ing the measure is through my uncer-
ta1nty as to its remedial effect upon
the evil 1t seeks to correct. Unless it
worked better in Kansas than it has
IN Indiana its disadvantages would be
greater than its advantages Most OBJ
V1ous objections to it at this time is
that it wipes out entirely the present
registration of this state and brings
upon the state before the next general
election the public expense and the in
dividual discomfort of complete re-
registration. To be called upon now
to go through all this again would be
regarded by the voters as a reaction
ary procedure. 1t would be regarded
by original friends Of the primary as a
limitation upon the broad purpose of
the system and it would be resented
by many of the new voters as an ef-
fort to regulate their partisan free
dom.
Because of these objections which
exist to it and for the further reason
that the bill does not offer US a rene
dy Of sufficient value to justify the
disadvantages it entails, have
thought it wise to withhold my ap-
proval"
