Ballot reform bill reported as emasculated in Senate
Harrisburg June 17 Special to The Philadelphia Times reports the Guffey ballot reform bill, passed from the Senate elections committee, is emasculated and lacks key provisions. It retains party circle heads and an assistant clause opposed by Democrats, while a district petition to open ballots could trigger a vote canvass. The Van Dyke uniform primary proposal fares similarly, likely harmless to the Republican machine.
