SINGLE PRIMARY
PLAN PROPOSED
Preferential Ballot Would
Replace Double
Election
Special to The Herald.l

AUSTIN, Aug. 6-(PERep. Eu-
gene ". Giles, Travis county, is pre-
pairing q bill to abolish the double
primary system in Texas for the
nomination Of public officials. He
will offer II In the legislature IN
January, he announced.
Mr.. Giles considers 1t possible to
substitute a single primary by leg
islative enactment, without need Tor
amending the state constitution or
without writing an election proviSo
into the constitution.
A west Texas senator also plans
to present a measure to n the
double primary system.
MIR. Giles win propose to substi-
tute the preferential ballot. now IN
use in many cities, he said.
Voters will cast ballots for first,
second and third choices, at a sim
gle election. under his projected
bill.
IN determining the nominees, the
f.st choices will be counted. Then
in races where no single candidate
gets over half the votes, the second
choices will be added 70 the first,
and II still necessary, third choices
will also be counted in, TO deter
mine the nominee.
A provision will be written into
the law. Mr.. Giles said. that where
a voter single shots" that is, gives
first and second or other combina-
tions Of more than n vote 70 a
single candidate. the ballots will be
thrown out as to Implications.
Mr.. Giles believes. he said. that
in addition to cutting down the ex-
pense of a double election. the pref
erential system will benefit the vot-
ers in permitting them TO finish
the job OF nominating officials at
one election. and will help them Sc
lect the candidates more on the
basis of studied judgment than in
the past.
The bill he will write, in which
he has secured cooperation Of sew
eral party officials and lawyers. will
contain the form Of the preferential
ballot.
The present election law likely
will be codified into a simpler sta
tute. Mr.. Giles said. He said
County Chmn. J. NJ. Patterson at
Austin has informed him that the
confusing statute dealing with abb
sentee voting can be improved upon
and the procedure simplified.

HOLLYWOOD, June 10 (NAN.A).-
Rex Bell isn't telling the world any
thing about his best girls difficulties
He's maintaining the sort of discreet
silence that admirers of lit" girls must
maintain when the inevitable lawsuits
come up.
The price of citing" is $50 ,00O so
Tar, for Clara Bow, it would seem. But
the lady from whom she 'it-ed" away a
husband feels that S150,000 would be
more like it. So while the battle of
finances wages in Dallas, Tex, between
La Bow and lady who feels the red
haired siren stole her hubby away, the
studio calmly states that it is all Miss
Bows business, and they have nothing
to say. And the boy friend thinks re-
marks about it should come from Miss
Bow also
A few remarks are drifting back here
via long distance. Their general trend
Is that Clara feels pretty much that
paths Of glory lead but to trouble, and
so ON. Her fellow players seem to feel
that you can't register sex appeal on
the large scale without paying some
piper, somewhere, some time.
Just as Clara Bow gets a romance
going that is quite to her liking, along
comes trouble and throws a monkey
wrench in the path. Harry Richman
and Clara were one of the widely adj
vertised engagements of village whose
engagements are blazoned from one end
Of the universe to the other
Despite the fact that rumor credited
Harry Richman's agents with Offering
him about the studios as engagement
material for publicity purposes, his ro-
nance with the fair Clara took on some
very dramatic angles before finis was
written across it.
And now that Rex Bell, the handsome
cowboy who played the rival role in her
last sailor picture. has succumbed to
her high-presSure charm, along comes
