Primary Bill Introduced In Lower House
Boise Idaho January 22 A primary bill to nominate all congressional state district and county officers was introduced in the Idaho House. Authors are Ada county delegates with several counties on the bill backed by Republicans. The measure keeps an oath naming party, sets a May 1924 primary and platform convention deadlines, and makes judgeships nonpartisan. It caps campaign expenditures and repeals current nomination conventions. It also clarifies spending limits for different offices and removes the need to reveal politics for supreme and district judges. The bill faces committee review and was passed later with other actions including tobacco law repeal and a memorial to election timing changes.
