John J. 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. Work at the j

to ljkst winter deadlocks in State legislatures
elsewhere have produced
scandals galore. 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. John'J. McMahan.
