Fallout from the I960 Dillon County voting scandal has prompted the election commission to nronose legislation that would eliminate party-run primaries and turn the job over to the state. Thirty people, from poll workers to the county Democratic Party chairman, were ultimately convicted in the conspiracy to rig votes in the 1980 Dillon County Democratic primary. But commission Executive Director James Ellisor said there is more to the election commission proposal than simply getting a handle on election fraud.

State GOP Director Warren Tompkins said staging a primary puts a "tremendous drain" on the parties, which have to depend largely on volunteers to man the polls. For the Democrats, the biggest drawback to primaries is financing. For example, state Dartv Director Robert Coble said it cost $30,000 alone to print ballots for last year's races. WHILE THE REPUBLICANS would support a state-run primary system, the Democrats say they'd like to work more closely with the election commission but retain ultimate control of the primaries, the party directors said.

"We want to see a moral revolution in America and our first priority is pornography. "We're not staisfied with keeping nude materials behind the counter; we want to see it stamped out." But state law would not allow Sheriff Stone to honor that request. "I told them if we get a complaint, we'll go to the business and talk to them. But unless the publication shows people in the sexual act, making contact with each other, there's nothing we can do but ask thftin tn iro<m ?* ?i a* ?v ucimiu me counter,"j Stone said.

That revenue-raising idea has been carried to the General Assembly before and failed. Ellisor said the election commission figures it could finance the primaries with filing fees and about $500,000 in surplus commission funds at no added cost to the taxpayers. Both Coble and Tompkins said the one condition their parties would need before turning the job over to the state would be a guarantee that their executive committees would retain control over hearing election complaints. The election commission's proposed reform package, submitted to a Senate subcommittee last week, included that provision, Ellisor said. mmmmmmmmmrnrmrnsmrn Photos by Ai?dy Putnam inusual labels for their Russell House im DU1 charge must appear at a Highway Department to determine if he refused to take a 'ter his arrest, Swerling said. a device used to measure the percentage n's blood. ipartment official conducting the hearing nnings refused to take the test, he could 0 days, Swerling said. he magistrate refused to take the test was ntention before the trial began.
