fractional Strife Marks Debate
but Party Lines Fail to
Hold in Each Case
ALJETS.WORNER JUMP FENCE
Former Favors Registration
Change; Latter Opposes
Governors Proposal
ALJETs.WoRNER JUMP FENCE

Heated factional strife resulted In
the house Wednesday with passage Of
two measures providing for . state
governmental survey commission and
repeal Of the present law requiring
assessors to register voters by party
a~ffiliation.
The bill repeating the registration
law passed 50 to 81, with George Al
Jets, Nonpartisan member from Wells
county, swinging over to the I. v. A.
size. The bill has been q bone Of
contention between the I. v. AS and
Nonpartisans for several years. Four
years ago 1t succeeded in passing the
legislature but was vetoed by the late
Governor A. q. Sorlie, Nonpartisan,
and two years ago it passed the house,
!. v. A. controlled, only to meet de-
feat in the senate. where the Nom
partisan faction prevailed.
M. H. Lynch of Richland, author Of
the measure, supported it by stating
many voters in the spring, when the
assessor called, did not know what
party they favored but were COM
PEELED to register as either Repubi-
can or Democrat. Later, when poll
tical issues were more clearly defined,
the voter coming to the polls was
often prohibited from voting the way
he wished and was required to vote
the party ballot he had designated
earlier In the year, Lynch said.
RY>lA poyaAa.e1 Ys~u>
Q. e. Erickson, Kidder. Nonparti-
san, contended II the law was repeal
ed county auditors would have no
manner Of judging the number Of
voters and the number Of each party
ballots required. Erickson brought
out that the bill was q political issue
and said the Independents favored 1t
because 1t probably would give them
q tactical advantage. l.. L. Twichell
readily admitted 1t was q party issue
and pointed out Nonpartisans had
considered it such in defeating 1t on
previous occasions.
Before the bill was put to a vote,
Lynch requested q call OF the house.
It was necessary for the sergeant of
arms to bring In M. J. Olson OF Bur-
leigh and L. e. Correu Of Cass, both
I. v. AS before the roll call was
taken. Had not Aljets voted favor
ably on the measure, the Independ-
ents would have lacked q constitu-
tional majority without the votes Of
Olson and Correll.
