mittee felt that provision for new
registration of North Cardinals voters
would eliminate practically all the OBJ
jections to he absentee ballot law by
putting only live timber on the lists"
he said
This bill makes uniform the quail
fications of electors in every precinct
of North Carolina" he continued.
Absentee Ballot Uniform.
Senator Johnson did not mention
the fact that the bill imposes the alb
sentee ballot upon those counties now
exempt until he was asked the direct
question ny Senator Henry Ingram,
Of Randolph. Then he said it repeats,
in effect, every present exemption
from the absentee law.
The Buncombe senator made the
same reply to a question by Senator
Flanagan, of Pitt.
Senator Gilmer Sparger, of Stokes,
offered the two amendments which
we're adopted.
Real Safeguard Removed.
The first eliminates the require
ment of existing law that justices Of
the peace and notaries public shall re-
port to the chairman of election board
the names of all those for whom they
take acknowledgment. of absentee bal
lot oaths. This, obviously, removes
one of the real safeguards against
fraud.
The second authorizes registrars to
retain registration books in their own
possession rather than to turn then:
over to the clerks of court. This, OBJ
viously, is designed to keep registra-
ton lists out of the hands of Repub-
lican clerks or Democratic clerks
where they belong to opposing poll
teal factions from the registrars.

MARCEL DUPRE AT ST. JOHNS
Closed Brilliant Program of Organ Compositions
 Last Night

There was c large and represen- tative attendance at St. Johns Episcopal church last night for the organ recital by the great French organist, Marcel Dupre. M. Dupre presented Q brilliant program open ing with e work of Guilmant and closing with one of the artists fa- nous Approximations. Of particu- lar interest regarding the ilnprov- isation was that the theme wns presented by Professor John L.. Bonn, dean of organists in this city and state, and organist ct St.. Margaret's Roman Catholic church in this city. MT. Bonn presented two themes, Q chromatic, forming the prelude, and e major, forming the fugue. Both themes were bril- liantly developed by Dupre.
 The organist opened his program with the Finale from the 6th Sonata by Guilmant, following which he played Louis Vierne's Cantilene from 3d Symphony and Charles M. Vi- dor's Toccata from 9th Symphony. One of the finest numbers on the program wes J. 6. Bach's Passa- caglia and F'ugue in Q Minor, gi- gantic and tremendous in scope and expertly performed. Also impressive was the Fantasy and Fugue on B. A. o. II. by Lizt the play on the letters forming the name of the eminent composer and containing c musical phrase frequently used by composers.
 Of particular interest also on the program was the composition by Miles "A. Martin, organist ct st. Johns, who Is . pupil of Dupre. This was 6 Postlude on "Sleepers, Wake" written in toccata style on 6 fifteenth century theme. This composition of MT. Martins Is dedi- cated to Dupre. Its performance last night was greatly enjoyed. Ar- other outstanding number on last nights program was Handefs Al. legro for 10th Concerto. Marcel Dupre transcribed this orchestral work for organ; brilliant and atli- mated composition, 1t was given of. fective treatment by the artist.
 Marcel Dupre's composition for organ TWO Elevations" Co: in N Major; b: in c Major), sublime and mystic in theme, was c notable contribution to the program. Another of Dupre's compositions was played, Prelude and Fugue in 0 Major, Dupre played in lighter vain, Scht- bert's "The Bee," sowerby's Comes Autumn Time" Russells Up the eaguenay," . beautifully descriptive piece, and several other well known organ works. His brilliant improvi. sation on the two themes submitted by Mir. Bonn completed 6 thoroughly artistic and impressive rCitnrn1- af1ce.
 Following the recital Mir. s,1d Mrs. Elton s. Wayland of Woodlawn ter. race entertained Mfr. Dupre, Mrs. Dupre and their daughter, Margues~ jte Dupfe, c pianist of renOwn, and . few otherss ct their nome.
