' Prtende of A direct primary law an
diligently seeking Mm way sf Wtpt
from, tbs dlffloultlae thai have arisen
stnoe the dlscoverr of the bw'i defect
and various plana have bam suggested
though none of them finds general eo
MftUM. The opinkm la growing that
untasa the Uw hi amended at tho coming
session of tha legislature, voters who
TMlttmd last coring cannot participate
la party nominations for city elections
before IMC Thla will op rata to de-
prlva fully W par mt of tha rot era of
tbla city rroai votoe w we primary
aleUoa next spring and tha only war la
which they can make nominations la by
petition, aa Independent voters. .
Such a condition will undoubtedly lead
to action by tha legislature and tha
question of greatest Interest la likely to
be ae to the nature af tha eeratlve legis
lation that will ba enacted. Frmnde of
he dlraot primary ara apprehensive that
an af t on will ba made to repeal the law
altogether. - - L
. i . . fkiN Ways Owl af St.
Three expedients have been proposed
by tbaaa who deelro to avart legislative
-action. The Ttrat M that voters wha
registered last spring shall register
again, while the books ara open from
September t to Oetohar 10. Tha aeo
end la that voters who regtstsred hut
prlna shall cause the county clerk to
amend tha registration roll by adding
the name af tha party to whloh thay ba
kmc.. The third plan la that nomtnar
tlona shall be niada la the old way. by
nominating conventions-on -the theory
that tho direct-primary law wu not In
tended to take effect before another gen
. aral ragletrnttoe. ' Strong local objec
tion are made to - each of theae ex-
pedleata. and there are seme practical
difficulties la the way aa wall.
, are Aartaortey SUee.
Aa to-the first plan of re-registering
-voters who ware registered laat spring,
H la objected that there la no authority
7of law fpr such ' a procedure, whloh
would entail Upon the eounty a heavy ax
, panee. Without dlallnot authority the
county clerk certainly would not run tha
. rtek of inoaninc-' auca expense. Fur
thermore aeoUon ttll of Bellinger aY
. Cotton's oode provides that "no eleotor
. ahall raaiater a second time In the same
preclaot or reaister In any other pre
Lelnot until bis first registration has been
'oanotlled." Thla section la stIU in force.
' and aBema to asgaUv the plan of rw-
" raglstimuon.
... la Boa hKb Beset - '
The plan of amandlnp; the reyistrer
tlon roll by adding tha party designa
tion of each voter Is baaed upon tha
theory that the roll is a public record
' and as suck ' Is subject to correction.
But publte laoorda can be corrected only
In ease of mlaUke, and then only by
' order at court The registration, roll
cannot be considered Incorrect, for It
' compiled fully with 'the law In force
when the roll was made; and If mm or
der of ont la necessary to amend N.
this eould not be obtained tn time to be
of any practical use, as tha period of
I
fall registration will expire fJotobar tt.
While aome lawyers think that the
voter would have the tight to -add his
party designation to the regtatratlon en
try, others are equally poeltlv that he
would not. and If the proceeding were
allowed the validity of the roll might be
the aubjeot of legal attack at a later
date. If tha amended roll were the basis
of a primary election tn the spring the
euy auditor might even be enjoined from
putting the names eg toe nominees on
toe official ballot
County Clark Fields nays thai the
statement published la the Oregon ten
and attributed to hint, that he would
allow the voters te add their party des
ignation to the roll, la untrue and that
he mads no such statement -.
"As a anetter of fact" be bald this
morning, "l ahall not allow any such
additions to the roll unlace thoroughly
oonvlnoed that tt would ho legal and
proper to da ao," . y
: If sueh addition were allowed It
would be Bcoesaary for the voter to en
tar hie nlgnetur again upon-the roll
or Ale It with the clerk and make affl
davlt to tha truth of kla declaration.
Otherwise there would ba no 'guaranty
against fraudulent personation of reg
istered voters, for tho purpose of Il
legal voting la the primary.
The third plan la that resort bo bad
to tho Old method of making nomina
tions bp oonvantlona Very few attor
neys eertoualy advocate this plan, for
there Is no apparent warrant for It In
tha law. The aeotldhs of the former
law preecribing the procedure for hold
lop auch conventions have been ex
pressly repealed. In view of the great
danger. 4tao, that tha city auditor would
be enjoined from placing on the baiiot
the names of candidates nominated by
oonvantlona this plan stay bo regarded
as Impracticable. r . . ., - A
Bet fiaelteatle.
-' The suggestion that voters can swear
tn their votes at the primaries receives
little serious consideration; pa that
method of voting Is designed only for
voters who have not reglatered, and
therefore It does net help voters who
are already on the roll, but are dlaquall- ,
fled from participating in the primary
by failure of the roll to show their
party.
.It Is worthy of note that although thla
Is the third day that the rolls have boon
open for the fall- regtatratlon, no one
has yet applied either for re-registration
or for the addition of his party designa
tion to tho roll as made up last spring.
Should sueh application be made,- It will
ba nfnsed. according to County Clerk
Fields, until be Is satisfied that he
would bo legally, juetlflod In complying
with It. Little more man a score of
new names have been added to the roll
sines it was reopened last Monday.
A meeting of the executive committee
of the dlraot primary league will pro Dr
ably be held within a few days to con
sider he knotty probteat presented by
the discovery of. the law's defect.
