They are in small part good, in large part, very bad. Referendum 14 provides: 1. For a new registration of all the voters in the state. 2. For classification of all the voters on the regis- tration books according to political parties; the voter, om registering, being required to state which political party he prefers, and, if he refuses, that fact is to be listed opposite his name. 3. For barring from the primary elections all voters who refuse to state their political faith when they register, 4. For permitting voters to vote in the primaries oly the tickets of the parties for which they were registered. Thus if the voter registers as “republi- san” he cannot get a democratic party ballot in the primaries. Newly registered voters must be able to read and speak the English language or to prove that they are unable to do so by reason of physical incapacity. The last provision is one of the few good ones in the entire bill. The rest is a blow at the primary. This bill was framed to tie the hands of the voters, to make it more difficult for them to control their own elections. 5. * * * Referendum 15 contains provisions for the election of county precinct committeemen and for holding county and state conventions, Some of these pro- visions may be good, But there is a cleverly-worded feature that makes the bill a menace, Referendum 15 provides that when any candidate files for office in elections where political parties are contesting, he must sign a statement to the effect that if elected he will support in full the state plat- form of the party. Thus, if he is sent to the legisla- ture as a republican, he must be bound by the state platform as interpreted by the party machine, even tho that platform may contain propositions which the legislator knows to be vicious, * * * Referendum 14 would tie the hands of the voter; would strike a telling blow at the direct primary. Referendum 15 would tie the hands of the pro- gressive candidate who might be elected and make him powerless. Taken together, the measures are a stab at the heart of the primary system. They rob the voters of some of their present rights and give nothing in return, They make machine rule more ironbound than at present. Both bills are dangerous. Vote “No” on both. They should be defeated! _ MRS.
