Changes In Election Laws

ICE ought to be permitted to exer-

On the other hand, Mr.. Lucas intends
to e to it that every precaution is
taken against making use Of the ad-
mltted need of legislation giving
them this right as an excuse to weak
en- the election law structure which
was so recently oVerhauled.
The principal change in the White
ner bill likely to be advocated by Mr..
Lucas is the insertion Of a time limit.
The bill contains none.
The bill simply gives to ''electors
who are in service in the army, naVy
marine corps, air force, coast guard
or any other branch of the armed
forces of the United States the RICH:
to vote by absentee ballot in primary
elections: and provides that any
American diplomatic or consular Of
ficer, consular agent, or any COM

shall be empowered to administer
the oath, mark or attend marking of
the absentee ballot under Section S.

added a section providing that tn
act shall be in force only during the
period of the present emergency
even more likely. he Will insist ON a
provision that the act shall apply
only to primary elections held in 1871
or 1912. Another legislature viii
meet in January, 1913, and if there
is still an existing reason for the bill
it could be re-enacted.
Another bill now in the hopper
blouse Bill 760) will probably draw
the attention and fire OF Mr.. Lucas.
This measure, introduced by Tran
sylvania Representative Galloway
could amend the existing absentee
ballot law to allow any person de
signated by the voter to apply for an
absentee ballot for the voter.
Around this point there was Wag-
ed n of the fiercest fights Of the
1889 election law reform campaign.
It was pointed out that permitting
the voter to designate any other per
son to get his absentee ballot opens
wide the doors to all the abuses with
which the use Of the absentee has
been charged. 1t was in order to pre-
Vent the wholesale "peddling' Of alb
sentee ballots by those who had
caioled others into allowing them tc
procure the ballots that the .strin-
gent restrictions on applying for the
ballot We're imposed.

the late afternoon sur slanting in
through the windows, and every
seat taken, Eve assumed her role
as mistress Of ceremonies.
Bill, finding a seat we'll in the
rear, settled back to enjoy himself.
A very old moumtaineer was first
on the program.
He blew mournfully into a brown
jug while beating time upon its
clay side with a hickory stick. The
result was somewhat strange and
weird, and Bill found himself
sWaylng a little, just as the noun
tain audience vas doing.
The old man was followed by six
young men and women who sang
a group of native mountain airs
that reminded Bill of Negro spiri-
tuals, in melody if not in wording.
Then sln2ly and in groups other
young people. and some not so
young performed an assortment Of
dances that seemed to be made IN
of part Virginia Reel, part Big APP
pie, and part Strauss Waltzes. We
Meta, Alicia and Patricia did their
dance near the end of the program.
1T was a qaint and charming minu-
ct, and Bill found himself planning
to inject a description of this num-
Der into his book soon after he had
1T under way.
But the outstanding thing on the
program of the afternoon was Jed
Proudy's rendition Of the long
poem entitled, THE Ghost Of
Mountain MeadoWs." 1t had to do
with a mysterious Pickering light
that appeared frequently above a
nearby mountain-a light which
superstition said was a Ghost"
that watched over the mountain
GERS, reporting their evils as We'll
as their Christian acts. The
Ghosts reporting resulted in pun-
lShment and rewards being handed
out 10 those who had sinned eX-
cessively and to those who had
been consistently good Samaritans
IN their dealings with their fellow
men.
The many verses We're melodra-
matte in the wording at times, and
then again they we're almost over
Whelmlngly sentimental. And vet
the poem as a whole was oddly IN
teresting, Bill leaned forward, lis
tening intently, wondering il he
could. get Jed to write the words
down for him.
Eve invited everyone to stand
and sing My Country It's of
Thee Then she called upon an eld-
erly man to lead them all in recit-
ing the Lords Prayer.
And then the entertainment was
over.
Eve stood at the front door,
shaking hands with all the people
as they filed out, complimenting
them, and promising them that
there would soon be another enter.
