McMahan Analyzes and Cosfcpares Some Suggestions Advanced From Various Quarters for Purlfying and Safeguarding Prftatary Elections?Australian Ballot Vended?Some of its Advantages Outlined. To the Editor of The State: "The primary must be reformed.'* This is the slogan which evdtgr thoughtful patriot should itera$v?i4|| reuwsie unui me result nas SUB achieved. 1 In the seven months before thfl next session of the general assembly our legislators should be constantly' reminded of the demand for this remedial legislation. Let not the lessons of the last year be forgotten. Let the representatives of the people have no excuse for thinking thatj their constituents are indifferent tm this reform. If the public (fefefcqfl is unmistakeable and unrelenting, the representatives will not disregard'It. Hence the matter is in the hands of the people. Now is the time?new, every day until next session and until the victory is won. Let the people not go to sleep on this job, but have convictions and make theih know by private and public exprea-i sion. t \ What should be the features of the reform provisions? Let everybo4|r think. Let each one search his experience and talk to his neighbors. Managers of elections have had excellent opportunities to observe and should offer suggestions to their legislators. I do not propose to solve this or any other problem all at once The object of these articles is more to stimulate the thought of the people than to give instruction. I am proceeding in a leisurely way, and leaving much for future discussion. The reader's mind may run ahead,H which is all the better. He will see later whether we reach the same con-1 elusion. Every man 3hould do his | part to find the true conclusion, and! when we can recognize that it is found we should get behind it and push it through to realization in law and practice. Last fall we read in the newspapers many communications aimed at the right result?perfect fairness to each and every voter. But some of these proposals indicated lack of understanding of the machinery of elections. Thus some of the suggested provisions, intended as safeguapdfll Ttr 'ntrtrr rr1 'in V1,;'" fit 'Mil violative of fundamental rights. ' One suggestion was that each voter should, when he puts his name on 4- U ~ ~ 1.. U ! i. . ^ me ciuu list, receive a certincate which, when he votes, he must attach to his ballot, and only ballots with certificates so attached should be counted. This would require a new registration certificate for every election, even for the second primary, which would be burdensome and would cause many men to disfranchise themselves by neglecting to register. Further, it would make the counting distressingly slow. The chief objection, however, is that it would be destructive of the secrecy of the ballot. It is not merely the ballot but its secrecy that has been the bulwark of popular government. If the voter must openly proclaim his choice, he nwv he r?VArr?er<sn?iTt?*r1 or browbeaten, or later punished for his independence by discriminations against him in many ways. Of course, the courageous and the strong usually make known their positions and often advocate one man and oppose others. They do not need the protection of secrecy and they waive it. Hut there may be numbers of others whose fears of certain persons would deter them from openly voting as their own judgment die tate. The law should protect the weak, whether the weakness he in this world's goods or jn character. Moreover, secret voting removes much of the temptation to vote-buying and selling?bribery at the polls for there is then no way to know whether the ballot is cast as promised. So sacred is the constitutional right to a secret ballot that a man of sensibility feels the impropriety of asking anybody how he voted, just as he feels the impropriety of inquiring of a juror about the proceedings in the jury room. As juror or as voter, the individual, just so he L is not corrupt, in entitled to immunity from public opinion as to his ac- > tion, which is presumed to be in ac- , cordance with his conscience and his best judgement. Unfortunately, ] however, some of our fellow citizens i are so callous in sentiment on these matters, so unconscious of the sane- , tity of the individual vote, that they 1 hang around the polling place to < head off the voter and pull and tug ; at him as he appro^phes, and insist j >n seeing his ballot or pressing into i his hand a ballot ready prepared for him to put in the box.

Mr. Bryan went on to allude to the secrecy of voting in the Australian booth. It was evident that we?so progressive in some phases of popular government?had TOiafe system, the Australian ballot. It was mortifying to reflect how different is the system with us. It is ^marvelous to note the pronounced | progressivism of this State in many respects and its ultra-backwardness in others. This is an anomaly we shall be frequently struck with in traversing the field of needed reforms. Another suggestion mode last fall was that the voter should present his registration certificate, which the managers of the election would ctoiuji, ou bo w ucairu) n ur lu prevent its being used again in that election. This is to prevent duplicate votThg, whether by the holder of the certificate or by another to whom he may give it. But the same safeguard la accomplished in the general election now by the fact that each voter's name is on the book with the number which his certificate bears, and when he votes the managers write his name on the list which they keep of all persons voting (the "popp list"), so that no other could vote upon the same ce^ficate without appearing tilth MUmenaine and by the same ; from" stamping Babes seeming useless, the stamping would make the voting slowes and would destroy the certificate, necessitating a new registration for each election (a burden and obstruction which ought not to be carried ton far\ ?> if ? ,, w. ... ovamj.'lllK werejmerely to show the date of each electa|n at which the certificate had beenjised and leave it still good for the jlpxt election, the managers would be under the necessity of critically examining all the stamped dates, which would not only consume much time but would afford opportunity lor errors. The stamping is thus accompanied with serious inconveniences and hardly has a real use. We want as few obstructions, requirements and annoyances as possible, consistant with protection against frauds and errors, for we want to give no white man an excuse to fail to be on the club roll qualified to vote.
