A* a ret-uR of (ho'investigation

brought ijeXii 4 ;rion. andSS. sate
t* rote, that universal suffrage is tlje
foundatioa upon f which the Ameri
can Nation is built, and that to take
away the right to votfr*frog». any
white man means civil dissension and
danger. Hence, at the start the Idea
of . requiring registration certificates
for voting In primaries tnnst be dis>
carded. This solution of thf problem
a certainly 4oo radical at this 'time,
and does not deserve consideration.
But our primary, system can be pr*y-
served by other methods equally as
effective as this. ^ . - r
Eiset and foremost, we believe that
the Btate zad County should pa/
th* cost of primary elections of par
ties which poll at least go per c“.nt
of the vo(e of the Stat«*. At presem
the primary is a gapi* for. of and
by. th** candidates. By asaessmenL
they pny .the cost of holding the el
ection; It is their game, not the peo
ple. Further, continuing tbe line of
candidacy for otflc**, we have often
bought that the requirements which
i&d been thrown around cand.dates
ip the progressive states of the mid
db* west should be used here. In
order for candidates of' strength to
entqr the races and in order to ban
ish all of this spite running which
has existed in this Statli and "VOry
• * * x
county In it. a candidate should be
required to file a petition bcarin-; ,a
erjain per c» of the voters of file
State or County, before .Igeing allowed
to enter the race. This would de
monstrat” in a measure, the fitness
of a mate for offi««e, and would tend
to prevent men lacking ability from
winning political .fights
Now. It appears that the greatest
cause of irregularity in election*
•onies from the present system of
making up the club roll*. It often
tappens that a man's name appears
twice on the sa*me/Club roll, and oh
several club roll* of the county. It
is true Hiat there are oft«'n several
men rff the same, name jb a county.
9jS the investigating vommltteu
found to b* 1 the case last year In
Anderson. Hut though it may be
true that pr£re jpre several men of
the saute name in °ach couitty. the"
lub,Toll« is the*place where fraud
cp^feps in. It fk not necessary to
change th-- preH*'ut system of enroM-
iug *>tlic«*rs. and a primary r.e}jist;-a-
tion board Is not needed. X* 4
requisite for voting, theix should be
