" The Advertiser will 'publish a few articles under the above caption written 'by a member of the legislature. They are strictly non-partisan and point out the changes necessary to eliminate fraud without taking away the ballot from any South Carolina Democrat. The arti cles are 'in no --way inspired by any candidate for office and none know of their preparation. They are designed solely to as sist the mass of 'Democratic primary voters to clean house. Bills to this end will 'be acted on in the next legislature and our readers are of course in terested in the subject at this particular time. Do Your Own Thinking. Few are found to oppose all pri mary reform. Those against change cloak their purpose. They do not de fend present conditions, that is a hope less task. They stand back and object to each change suggested, saying it will take the ballot away from the floor man or from the man who can not write. These objectors give no reason for their charges, nor do they offer other measures. Men are expect ed to follow them blindly. Every man should do his own think ing about these primary changes. The troubles are before us, and known of all men who care to look. The reme (lies proposed are easy to understand. The Remedies. Record the poll lists at the court house before and after voting. Permit the voter to enroll on only one club list, and only in the pre cinct wheer he lives or works. Identify the voter at the 'ballot box. Where important requirements are violated hold another election. These safeguards are those advo cated by experienced party workers from all sections of the State. They have been gathered from discussions on many occasions (luring many years. Leaders in the legislature who oppose extreme measures came to a pretty general agreement to support a bill embodying these points. Let us ex amine them, taking the last one first. The Penalty. Penalties are seldom enforced. 'Why? Because they seck to punish, 'but not to remedy-not directly. The law says the manager who does not carry out the rules shall be pun ished. But the defeated candidate doesn't care to prosecute him, the public is not interested enough to. Neither are out for revenge, nor seek ing the unpleasant task of preventing future fraud by present punishment. The candidates are interested in the immediate outcome, though. They and their friends will go to a lot of trou ble to locate fraud if it will do them any good. (Give them the right to a new election wvhenever the laiw is vio lated in the important particulars and they will watch for irregularities like hawks. Then violations of rules will i mmediately lefea t their pu1rpose and become useless. Mind you, new elections wvould be held only when important, specified infractions of the law could be shown, not for trivial irregularities. This would necessitate making each step) in enrollment and voting plain, andl open, and recorded where all- men may examine-what has been done. Today- everything is so obscure that even where much fraud Is proved, and more believedl, It is about i'nlpossible to upset an election. Thmis power to upset an election would lbe a weapon more dlreadled than any 'punishment now set down in the law books. Protecting the Lists. It Is absolutely necessary at any kind of an election to have a correct list of those entitled to vote. The club rolls should be made tip weeks 'before the election andl sent to the county clerk of court. Shortly be fore the election the clerk should send a copy of each list to the election man agers of each club. After the elec tion the county excustive committee should send the rolls baek to the clerk. This system allows the lists to be examined by all interested parties, and opportunity to have names put on or takeni off with proper showing, before the election. After the election any one may compare the voting list used with the copy kept by~the clerk and failure to use the proper list becomes a matter of record1. At prespnt, even when the rules are carried ouit, and a poll list is used, It is about impossible In the five days pllowed, to check it up. -How can can dlidates in pop~ulous sections tell whether the names put ofh at the last minute are fronudulent or not? The candidlaje is helpless. Idenitify them Voter at the Ballot Box. Managers in big voting precnts Seldom know all the..voters in .them, When a man presents himself to cast his ballot and gives a name found on the poll list he is allowed to vote un less the managers know he is not the person he represents himself to be. -Ie may move into the town of York on the 24th, have his name enrolled on the poll lists in Rock Hill by a third Party and on the 30th vote in the latter town. The law should be to enroll in per son, in only one precinct, and that, the one in which the man resides or works; and the voter should be given a card by his club oflicers, whore he enrolls, to be shown at the polls. This card to have his full name and ad dress and a number all to correspond with the club list. iipon voting, a corner of the card, or a coupon at tachdd to it, should be torn off so that it could not be used twice. Provision would be made for issu ing duplicates wpiere a card is lost, and for transferring a voter from one precinct to another when he changes his residence. These cards would be issued to ev cry Democrat now entitled to vote who could show his residence in the State and county, and precinct the re quired length of time, In Conclusion. Here are outlined changes in our present system, not a new system. On ly outlines are given. Discussions of :letails would take 'more space than these articles can claim. But they are designed to carry out these gener al ideas. No attempt is here made to take the ballot from any class. Hon esty is the aim of the changes-not disfranchisement. Whether wisely or foolishly, South Carolina has long since established the purest of Democracies. Such movements do not go backward. Uni versal white manhood suffrage once secured will never be relinquished. But it may be thwarted and crippled, and cheated if it does not protect it self from earelessness and corruption by strong and well considered laws. Legislator. ('h1ard1 of 'T'ha1nks. John M.
