A Des Moines harmony effort proposes amending the primary law to prevent Democrats from influencing Republican senator selections. Congressman Walter T. Smith and Senator Dolliver back a plan to print multiple Republican candidates for senator on one ballot and count votes only when the Republican ticket is selected. Governor Cummins endorses the measure, and a special legislative session is slated to address the change, with voters allowed straight party or mixed tickets under the new system.
Both sides in the factional trouble agree to abide by the outcome of the republican balloting for the senatorship. The candidate with a majority of the votes will win the solid support of the republican legislators. The dispute stemmed from stand-patters fearing Democrats aided progressive Republicans in past campaigns. The governor’s insistence that Democrats voting for him must back the entire republican ticket in the upcoming election improved his standing with former opponents.
Des Moines reports say Democratic legislators will vigorously oppose the amendment the GOP harmony group, state committee, governor, and congressional delegation back. Republicans expect no Democratic show of strength as divisions mend, with Democrats from GOP districts voting against any change while the steamroller of harmony proceeds.
Governor Cummins has announced his bid for the U S Senate seat to be chosen by the legislature this fall. The progressive Republicans back Cummins while rivals debate a nominee, with Gilbert N Haugen among names discussed and likely to be placed on the ballot by petition as in the June primaries.
The article advocates restoring the circle on elective ballots to ease voting for citizens who wish to cast a straight party ticket, claiming it saves time and effort for voters while keeping the system user friendly. The stance favors any measure that supports this voting method.
