's?ait- hous es: of the various counties'3xcept that the board after giving three weeks' no tice shall attend at least one day in each township for the purpose of reg istering voters for the primaries. The only qualifications for registra tlon for voting In the primary elec tion prescribed by tho bill are that the voter must have been a resident or the state for one year, of the county for three months and have reached the age or 21 years, and bo entitled tinder the rules or hla party to vote In the primary elections.

If for any cause a voter is denied the right of registration by any board the bill gives him the right to appeal to any circuit Judge and to the su preme court. Important Sections. Probably the two most important sections In the judiciary committee's ' bill are Nos. 8 and 9 which follow in full: "Section 8. On the first day of .Au gust of each election year the board of primary registration shall file the registration books of such parties as have .their votors registered under this act with the clerk of court of ' the county, and they shall be diaposed of by him as follows: One took for each voting precinct shall be delivered to the chairman of the executive com mittee for the county for such party, and by him delivered to managers of election for the resecttve voting pre cincts, and shall be the precinct rolls for the primary elections for that year, and no man who Is not enrolled on said books shall be entitled to vote in tho primaries of that party. The duplicates of said books shal be kept on. file In the clerk's office as a record and with them the poll lists coming from the respective voting precincts shall be filed Immediately after the official count for each pre cinct Is made by the county commit tee. No vote shall be counted from any precinct unless the return, shall be accompanied by a poll list of all the voters, certified to by the managers, or a majority of them, of said precinct* "Section ?. Tho precinct registra tion books shall be kept open to the inspection of the public at all times* and any names placed on said list may be challenged up to the tenth day of August of each, election year, and if the challenge is sustained by the board the name challenged shall be stricken off the books ,and the board shall have access to and have au thority over the books tc that extent up to. the delivery of the duplicate to the county chairman, which shall be done on the 15th of August of each election year. Prom the board's rul ing on such challenge either party may appeal In the manner provided In sec tion 1 of this act .and the circuit judge shall hear all appeals provided for In this act, hue on the evidence before the board certified up, and determine the issues es auc?: es. ff es ers decided and. his decision shall be final, and re tain the name on the list or strike It off as the case, may be, until the same is reversed by the supreme court." The primary election bill of the Ju diciary committee provides a fine of not more than 9500 or imprisonment for not more than six months tor per annc Who Violate its "TOVliiOGS, . 0 - cept as regards ewearlna falsely which is declared punishable under the common law. Purging Bolls. ... Section 14 of the bill In regard to puiglng the registration books and the disposition of them after primary elections follows: r,V "Section 14. rte^a^aeral isijimisalssi shall be required in ye* subsequent to the first registration, but all new voters must register, and all parties changing from one voting precinct to another and all. names of those dead or removed must be stricken off each election year and the books shall only be' opened for registration In years not election years for the month of July. When the final primary elec tion is held in any year the du plica to book* i? held in m?y ye?r r ??fcm returned to the chairman of the party of the county and by him fifed with the clerk of the court to he by him delivered to the board of primary reg istration at the beginning of the next registration (period, along with the duplicate on file with them, both of which shall be corrected and In both of which new voters shall be enrolled as herein provided." Differences Between Bills. The chief difference beiwen the spe cial primary nv Jrm bill reported by the special committee from the sen ate and-the primary reform bill intro duced by tbe judiciary committee of the house is that the former does not provide ? special board of primary registration bnt leaves the enrollment of voters to tbo secretaries of clobs of a certified list of the citizens en rolled to voie in ine primary. Tho senate bill provides for tho remuner ation of club secretaries who enro?i vntpin The primary reform bills in tbe sen ate and in the bouse.are alike in that they both provide tor duplicate tola of. the votes at every precinct sss of: which is to be used as the precinct roll and the other to be filed with the clerk of court. Provides a Cheek* - The Importance of this provision can be readily understood since the duplicate roll of each precinct In the ?om?uw ?i iuTj cTwrspm court provides a1 check tor the polling lists at each precinct. When it set out to Investigate the Alleged fraud in the primary elec tion of 1912 tbe special committee from the state deewratlc executive committee was ecr.oualy hampered In its work by the failure or refusal of varions precinct m an axera to rettirn their precinct rolls and polling lists. The duplicate precinct rolls In the hands of the darks of court will safe guard primary elections by providing a means of, checking the polling lists. JOHN BTEB8 OUT.
