12 THE MORXING 'OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, , JULY 13, 1910. BILL TO- BE OFFEBEO OREGON Senator Abraham Proposes Amendments to- Direct Pri- mary Law. THREE IDEAS ARE INCLUDED Party Organization to. Be Preserved, Ba4 Features of Present Law to Be Eliminated, and Registration Frauds to Be Prevented. Amendments to Oregon e direct pri mary law, designed to preserve party organization, eliminate many bad fea tures of the measure as it stands, and preclude, -as' nearly as possible, fraud Abraham, State Senator, of P.oseburg. Senator Abraham is in Portland and "brought with him copies of the Hin-eaan-Green and Cobb compromise pri mary laws proposed in New Tork. These bills, in the main, bore the -indorsement of President Taft, ex-President Roosevelt and Governor Hughes, and the amendments proposed by Sen ator Abraham are taken from the blls. . ' I intend introducing them in the next session of the State Legislature, he .said.. "I believe we ought to take advantage of the study and thought that these measures represent." Three central ideas are to be includ ed in the amendments, he said. One of these provides the manner in which the names of. candidates In the pri mary may be placed on the ballot, its purpose being two-fold. One Is to preserve party organization, and the other intends the selection of the best material for party candidates. Voters to Xame Committeemen. This is to be accomplished by an authorized committee of each party. At each primary election, it is proposed each precinct shall elect men to serve on the party committee. This committee is to rrieet before the next primary election and make recommendations of names as party candidates. This, however, does not bar others from becoming candidates in the- same manner as is now followed by petition, but the party-recommended can didates are to be given a preferential place on the ballot. it is Drooosed also to abolish the print ing of slogans opposite the names of candidates', excepting as to position on Statement 1. Another proposed amend ment contemplates doing ,away with the practice of persons not in sympathy with a party registering as members of puch party.- i After the party affiliations of the reg istered voters are made known, anyone has the right to question the sincerity o any voter In the statr.est of his poli tics and through the party machinery to take up the matter in a summary W3y with a court of competent Jurisdic tion and have the name canceled if the voter is falsely registered. This would do away, it is thought, with insincerity and fraud in party registration, as it is said to have had- that effect in New York State. "In the laws proposed in the New York Legislature and favored by Gov ernor . Hughes, excellent provisions were made governing the jnethod of holding the meetings of the party committees and its proceedings and the keeping of their records, which do much to remove the objections which might otherwise be maae to tne plan, said benator Abraham. "So that, having carefully considered their provisions, I favor the amendment of our primary law so as to adopt the provisions in these bills, applying them to nominations for all offices, including designations for United States Senators as covered in our primary law, and pre nerving our meaps and form of pledging "legislative candidates to vote for the popular choice for United States Senator, and . Indicating briefly on the ballot the fact of such pledge or absence thereof. Close Records to Ee Kept. "Ap to abolishing the use of declara tions on the ballot, it must be admitted that the use of the same has degenerated Into mere catchy advertisements which are calculated rather to confuse than to enlighten. "The Xew York plan provides that booths, similar to election booths, shall be provided at tie place of registra tion, and instead of announcing to the Keg!ter the party affiliation and hav ing' it immediately entered at the time of entering the name of the elector, the number of the elector on the regis tration book is written on a blank which contains the names of the differ ent parties and a statement to the ef fect, that the person registering de tires to register as a member of the party Indicated by him by means of an "X" placed under such party name. This blank is then sealed by the elec tor in an envelope provided for that purpose, and these envelopes are. not opened immediately, but at a fixed time prior to the primary, which is ample to allow public access to the in formation contained therein and for ob jection by any member of the party, and the party preference is then en tered in the poll book in the proper column, opposite the elector's name. The obvious purpose of this provision Is to allow no undue influence to in terfere with the free exjrf else of an "honest registration of the party pref erence. Committees Make Nomination. "It is essential, in order to get a full understanding of the excellency of the Hughes plan of party committee recom mendations "to describe the method of procedure under which alone the com mittees may act. Meetings for the pur pose of making designations are re quired to be open to the public. A roll call -of the members of the committee is completely called in alphabetical order, or in the order which may have pre viously been adopted by rule, for the purpose of iscertair-ing the names of those proposed as candidates. Upon such rollcal!, each member of the committee, who desires to propose a candidate, or candidates, must rise and declare the r.ame of such candidate, or candidates. The roll is then called a second- time for voting upon the candidates "proposed. As ach name is called, the member votes end the- secretary records the vote. If any candidate receives a majority of all the votes, which the members of the com mittee are entitled to cast, whether pres ent or not, such candidate is deemed de signated by the committee. If no one receives a majority of the votes, the roll is called again in like manner as tHe first rollcall. for the purpose of again proposing candidates, and a vote is then taken: upon a fourth rollcall in like man ner as upon the second roll. This pro cedure is continued until the proper ma jority i& received. Record is kept of the proceedings and is required to -be filed with the custodian of recorde. Xatches Pioneers to Celebrate.
