"THE PATTON COURIER, MARCH 1 198 = Patton Courier. A RADICAL CHANGE, The old time caucus and primary will soon be a thing of the past in this state. The White-Sheatz primary bill, which was passed at the special session of the legislature and approved by the governor last week, is such a radical departure from the methods at present in vogue that every voter, and espec- ially party leaders and election officers, should acquaint themselves thoroughly therewith, Al primary elections throughout the state must be held at the same time on the same day at the regular election _poiis, The bill was made effective next November in order not to interfere with this year’s state conventions, del- egales having already been named in numerous counties. Had the bill been made effective upon approval, as was ' originally intended, it would have caused confusion and additional ex- penses in such counties in order to “elect new delegates. ‘Official ballots are to used at the primaries. Each party is to have a separate ballot, but they are all to be ‘uniform in general character. Candi- dates for nomination are to have their 0 pes placed on ballots by petition of § ors. bg primaries are to be designated [the winter and spring primaries. he latter is to be held on the fourth urday of June except in presiden- years, when iv shail be upon the cond Saturday of April. The winter maries will be held on the fourth aturday before the February election. | Delegates to state and national con- entions are to be elected by the state pouventions. - Any party polling two r cent of the largest vote cast at the Ip SH [is entitlgd vo elect such delegates. The lug geueral or February election game percentage applies for entitling and local offices. "Petitions for placing the names of | eudidacos for different offices upon the | primary ballets must be filed with the | wetary of the commonwealth, bear- ng the following number of names: or congressman, judge and state sen- officers, fifty; for all other officers, dei- egates to conventions and party offi- cers, ten. Petitions for congressmen aad state officers shall be filed four | weeks before the primary and all other | officers phyee weeks. | \ mifiediately upon such filing the Bretary is to forward a list of the candidates of each party to the several eounty commissioners; for at least one week prior to the primary commis- gioners must have at their office forms of ballots to be used containing the! pames of nominees. These must be open to public inspection. The official ballots furnished each party must be double the number of yotes cast at the last general election by that party and the commissioners ‘must furnish as many additional ballots : party in any district as the | couaty hairman may request in writ- ; ing; such ‘written request must be filed “at least two weeks before the primary. Specimen ballots must be farnished equal in number to one-fourth of the ‘whole number furnished. Election boards as now constituted “are to serve at the primaries, the com- tion being one-half of the amount general elections. The polls are to ‘open from 2 o’clock in the afternoon 8 at night; all liquor dealers must | parties to name candidates for state | or, 200; for representative and county | has been committed in their district the commissioners shall open the ballot box and recount the votes; an appeal may be taken to court from the de- cision of the commissioners except in cases of delegates to state conven: tions when the contest shall be decided by the convention under the rules of the party. In case of a tie vote for any office the candidates shall cast lots before the commissioners or the secre- tary of the commonwealth, respective- ly, for county or state offices, the suc- cessful one being declared the nominee. Vacancies shall be filled under party rales. Anyone who votes or attempts to vote at a primary when not qualified or who repeats or attempts to repeat shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; the penalty for conviction is a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment of not more than two years, or both, An election officer who knowingly permits frauds shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; the penalty for conviction is a fine of not more than $1,000 or imprisonment of not more than five years, or both.
