Local Elections by Party Pose Question Over Ballot Labels
Supervisor Burton W. Chace backed Assembly Bill 755 to allow party labels on city and county ballots. Assemblyman John A. O Connell said the bill aids voters by clarifying candidates occupations. The Assembly Elections Committee approved it 10 to 4. The Board of Supervisors, on a party line vote, deplored returning to partisan local elections abandoned 50 years ago. Chace cited Los Angeles Countys nonpartisan civil service as model. He argued nonpartisan local elections protect merit over party machines and that voters should judge based on qualifications and performance. Reversion to partisanship was called regression.
