 of this act, but no person shall be entitled to become a candidate for more than one 
 office at the same election. 
 
 5. Except in the case of a candidate for nomination to a judicial office, school 
 office, county office, or township office, nomination papers shall be signed as follows : 
 If the candidate is the candidate for an office to be voted on throughout the state, 
 by not less than one half of one per centum and not more than two per centum of 
 the vote or registration constituting the basis of percentage as defined in sub- 
 division 6 of this section of the party of the candidate seeking nomination, within 
 the state ; if the candidate is the candidate for an office to be voted on in some 
 political subdivision of the state, but not throughout the state, by not less than one 
 per centum nor more than two per centum of the vote or registration constituting 
 the basis of percentage, as defined in subdivision 6 of this section, of the party of 
 the candidate seeking nomination within said political subdivision in which such 
 candidate seeks nomination. 
 
 6. Except in case of a candidate for nomination to a judicial office, school office, 
 county office, or township office, the basis of percentage in each case shall be the 
 highest vote polled by the party for any such candidate as may have been the can- 
 didate of such party only, at the preceding general election, or, if there was no 
 candidate who was the candidate of such party only, the basis of percentage shall 
 be the lowest vote received by any candidate who was the joint candidate of such 
 party and of one or more other parties ; and if the candidate is the candidate of a 
 party which had no candidate at the preceding general election, then the basis of 
 percentage shall be upon the number of qualified electors who, on or before the 
 fiftieth day prior to the primary election, shall in registering have declared their 
 intention to affiliate with such party. Every political party qualified to participate 
 in the primary election by the provisions of subdivision 8 of section 1 of this act, 
 whose membership or members shall comply with the provisions of this act by filing 
 nomination papers for one or more candidates, shall be entitled to a separate party 
 ticket at the primary election ; but all such party tickets must be alike in the desig- 
 nation of candidates for judicial, school, county, and township offices. 
 
 7. Whenever by rearrangement of political subdivisions of the state by any legis- 
 lature, board of supervisors or other legislative body, the boundaries of such political 
 subdivisions are changed, the highest vote polled by each party in each of the new 
 political subdivisions shall be determined as follows : If the change occurs wholly 
 
DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 11 
 
 within any county or city and county, the county clerk or registrar of voters of such 
 county or city and county shall determine as nearly as possible the highest vote of 
 each party in the new political subdivision by adding together for each party the 
 highest vote in each of the former precincts which now are combined to mjike up such 
 new political subdivision. If the change occurs outside the limits of any county 
 or city and county, the secretary of state shall determine the highest vote of each 
 party in such new political subdivision by adding together for each party the highest 
 vote in the counties which now are combined to make up such new political sub- 
 division. In the same way that the highest vote for each party in each new political 
 subdivision is ascertained, shall also be ascertained the total vote of all parties, as 
 is required to be known by the provisions of subdivision 9 of this section. 
 
 8. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the independent nomination 
 of candidates as provided by section 1188 of the Political Code, as said section was 
 enacted at the fortieth session of the legislature of the State of California ; except 
 that a candidate who has filed nomination papers as one of the candidates for 
 nomination to any office on the ballots of any political party at a primary election 
 held under the provisions of this act, and who is defeated for such party nomination 
 at such primary election, shall be ineligible for nomination to the same ofiice at the 
 ensuing general election, either as an independent candidate or as the candidate of 
 any other party, and no person shall be permitted to file nomination papers for a 
 party nomination and an independent nomination for the same office, or for more 
 than one office at the same election. Nor shall any person whose name has been 
 written in upon any ballot or ballots for any office at any primary election, have 
 his name placed upon the ballot as a candidate for such office at the ensuing general 
 election, except under the provisions of section 1188 of the Political Code, unless 
 at such primary election he shall have received for such office votes equal in number 
 to the minimum number of nomination papers which would have been required to be 
 filed to have placed his name on the primary ballot as a candidate for nomination 
 to such office. 
 
 9. In the case of a candidate for nomiuation to a judicial office, school office, 
 county office, or township office, nomination papers shall be signed by not less than 
 one half of one per centum, nor more than two per centum of the total vote cast 
 by all political parties at the last election in the state or political subdivision thereof 
 in which such candidate for judicial or school, county, or township office seeks 
 nomination, 
 
 10. The officer with whom nomination pai)ers are filed shall keep a record in 
 which he shall enter the names of all persons filing the same, the name of the office, 
 the party, if any, and the time of filing.

 act, the officer with whom such papers are required to be filed shall not receive or 
 file further sections of the nomination paper for the candidate named therein. 
 
 5. No more signatures shall be secured for any candidate than a number equal to 
 three per centum of the vote constituting the basis of percentage as provided in 
 
12 DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 
 
 subdivisions 5, 6, and 9 of section 5 of this act; provided, that if, through miscalcu- 
 lation or otherwise, more signatures are secured than the said three per centum, all 
 sections of the nomination paper containing signatures in excess of said three per 
 centum must be sent to the candidate ; and before any nomination paper is filed as 
 provided in this section, the candidate must notify each signer of such excess sections 
 that his name has not been used ; and in the affidavit required to be filed in sub- 
 division 4 of section 5 of this act, affiant must state whether he has complied with

 tion to the holder of which does not exceed the sum of nine hundred dollars per 
 annum. 
 
 7. In no case shall the secretary of state, county clerk, registrar of voters, or 
 city clerk, receive any nomination papers for filing until the requisite fee for such 
 filing, as prescribed in this section, has first been paid to him. 
 
 8. When a person is nominated for an office by reason of his name having been

 of the county clerk or registrar of voters, and shall state that candidates for said 
 judicial, school, county, and township offices may be voted for at the primary 
 election, by any registered, qualified elector of the county, whether registered as 
 intending to affiliate with any political party or not. He shall also publish the 
 date of the primary election, the hours during which the polls will be open, and that 
 the primary election will be held at the legally designated polling places in each

 Sec. 11. Every publication required by this act shall be made in not more than 
 two newspapers of general circulation published in such county or city and county,

 lication of the notices provided for by this act can not be made as hereinbefore 
 provided it shall be made in any newspaper having a general circulation in the city

 in the designation of candidates for judicial, school, county, and township offices. 
 The ballots must have a different tint or color for each of the political parties partici- 
 pating in the primary election. There shall also be printed and provided a non- 
 partisan ballot of a different tint and color from all the others (or white, if all the 
 others are colored), which shall contain only, but in like manner, all the candidates 
 for judicial, school, county, and township offices to be voted for at the primary 
 election ; and one of the non-partisan ballots shall, at the primary election, be fur- 
 nished to each registered qualified elector who is not registered as intending to 
 affiliate with any one of the political parties participating in said primary election ; 
 but to any elector registered as intending to affiliate with any political party par- 
 ticipating in the primary there shall be furnished, not a non-partisan ballot, but a 
 ballot of the political party with which said elector is registered as intending to 
 affiliate. 
 
14 DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 
 
 It shall be the duty of the county clerk of each county or of the registrar of voters 
 in any city and county to provide such printed oflScial ballots to be used at any 
 August primary election for the nomination of candidates to be voted for in such 
 county or city and county at the ensuing November election and at any May presi- 
 dential primary election. It shall be the duty of the city clerk or secretary of the 
 legislative body of any municipality to provide such printed official ballots for any pri- 
 mary election other than the August primary election or the May presidential primary 
 election. Such official ballots to be used at any primary election shall be printed on 
 official paper, furnished by the secretary of state, in the manner provided by section 
 1196 of the Political Code, and in the form hereinafter provided. The names of all 
 candidates for the respective offices for whom the prescribed nomination papers 
 have been duly filed shall be printed thereon. 
 
 2. Official primary election ballots used at any primary election for the nomina- 
 tion of candidates to be voted for at any presidential or general state election, 
 except as provided in subdivision 5 of this section, shall be as long as the herein 
 prescribed captions, headings, party designations, directions to voters and lists of 
 names of candidates, properly subdivided according to the several offices to be nomi- 
 nated for, may require ; and no official primary election ballot shall be less than 
 six and one half inches wide. 
 
 3. Across tlie top of the ballot shall be printed in heavy faced gothic capital type, 
 not smaller than forty-eight point, the words: "Official Primary Election Ballot;" 
 providing, that on a non-partisan ballot said words may be printed in gothic capital 
 type not smaller than twenty-four point. Beneath this heading shall be printed in 
 heavy faced gothic capital type, not smaller than twenty-four point, the party 
 designation if it be a party ballot ; or, in the case of a ballot containing the names 
 of no candidates except candidates for a judicial, school, county, or township office, 
 the words "Non-Partisan Ballot." The instructions to voters shall be printed in 
 ten point gothic type. In the case of official primary election ballots to be used at 
 any primary election held for the nomination of candidates other than those to be 
 voted for at a presidential or a general state election, and on which, in accordance 
 with the provisions of this act, the names of candidates may be printed in a single 
 column or in two parallel columns, as the case may be, the words "Official Primary 
 Election Ballot" shall be printed thereon in heavy faced gothic capital type, not 
 smaller than twenty-four point. The party or non-partisan designation shall be 
 printed in heavy faced gothic capital type, not smaller than eighteen point. The 
 instructions to voters shall be printed in ten point gothic type. 
 
 4. At least three eighths of an inch below the assembly district designation and 
 the date of the primary election shall be printed in ten point gothic type, double 
 leaded, the following instructions to voters : "To vote for a person whose name 
 occurs on the ballot, stamp a cross ( X ) in the square at the right of the name of 
 the person for whom you desire to vote. To vote for a person whose name is not 
 printed on the ballot, write his name in the blank space provided for that 
 purpose." 
 
 5. The instructions to voters shall be separated from the lists of candidates and 
 the designations of the several offices to be nominated for by one light and one heavy 
 line or rule. The names of the candidates and the respective offices shall, except as 
 may be hereinafter otherwise provided, be printed on the ballot in four or more 
 parallel columns, each two and one half inches wide. The number of such parallel 
 columns shall be exactly divisible by two, and such parallel columns shall be equally 
 divided on the ballot for party and non-partisan tickets by a solid black line, extending 
 down from the printed lines separating the instructions to voters from the list of names 
 of candidates to the bottom margin of the ballot. In the case of a primary election 
 for the nomination of candidates to be voted for at a presidential or general state 
 election, the order of precedence shall be as follows, that is to say : In the column 
 to the left, under the heading state shall be printed the groups of names of candi- 
 dates for state offices, except judicial and school offices, and for members of the state 
 board of equalization. In the second column, under the heading congressional shall 
 be printed the groups of names for United States senator in congress, if any, and for 
 representative in congress. Next, under the heading legislative shall be printed the 
 
DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 15 
 
 groups of names for state senator, if any, for member of assembly, and for election 
 as delegate to the state convention from a "hold-over senatorial district," if any. 
 Finally under the heading county committee, shall be printed the names of the 
 candidates for election to membership in the county central committee of the party. 
 In the case of primarj- elections where state officers are not to be nominated, at the 
 left of the solid black dividing line there may be only one column. In the parallel 
 columns to the right of the solid black dividing line shall be printed the groups of 
 names of candidates for nomination to judicial, school, county, and township offices 
 in the following order: Under the heading judicial shall be printed all the names 
 of candidates for judicial offices, in the order of chief justice supreme court, associate 
 justices supreme court, judge of district court of appeals, judge of superior court and 
 justice of the peace. Next, under the heading school shall be printed all the names 
 of candidates for school offices in the order of state superintendent of instruction, 
 superintendent of schools, and school district officers, if any. Next, under the heading 
 county and township shall be printed the groups of candidates for all county and 
 township offices except judicial or school offices. In the case of primary elections 
 where county officers are not to be nominated, at the right of the solid black dividing 
 line there may be only one column. The non-partisan ballot provided for in subdivi- 
 sion one of this section shall be identical as to offices and names of candidates with that 
 portion of the party ballot which is printed to the right of the solid black dividing line 
 hereinabove described. The tally sheets furnished to election officers shall have the 
 names of offices and candidates arranged in the order in which said names of officers and 
 candidates are printed on the ballots according to the provisions of this section and 
 subdivision. In the case of primary elections for the nomination of candidates for 
 city, city and county or municipal offices only, the groups of names of candidates 
 may be printed in two parallel columns and the order of precedence shall be deter- 
 mined by the legislative body of such city or municipality or by the board of election 
 commissioners of any such city and county. 
 
 6. The group of names of candidates for nomination to any judicial office, school 
 office, county office, or township office shall include all the names receiving the 
 requisite number of signatures on a nomination paper for such office, and shall be 
 identical for each such office on the primary election ballots of each political party 
 participating at the primary election ; but the groups of names of candidates for all 
 other offices on the ballots of each political party shall comprise only the names of 
 the candidates for nomination by such party. 
 
 7. The order in which the list of candidates for any office shall appear upon the 
 primary election ballot shall be determined as follows: 
 
 (o) If the office is an office the candidates for which are to be voted on through- 
 out the entire state, including United States senator in congress, the secretary of 
 state shall arrange the names of all candidates for such office in alphabetical order 
 for thf} first assembly district; and thereafter for each succeeding assembly district, 
 the name appearing first for each office in the last preceding district shall be placed 
 last, the order of the other names remaining unchanged. If the office is that of 
 representative in congress, or is an office the candidates for nomination to which are 
 to be voted on in more than one county or city and county, but not throughout the 
 entire state, except the office of state senator or assemblyman, the secretary of state 
 shall arrange the names of all candidates for such office in alphabetical order for that 
 assembly district which is lowest in numerical order of any assembly district in which 
 such candidates are to be voted on ; and thereafter for such succeeding assembly district 
 in which such candidates are to be voted on, the name appearing first for such office 
 in the last preceding district shall be placed last, the order of the other names remain- 
 ing unchanged. In transmitting to each county clerk or registrar of voters the certi- 
 fied list of names as required in section 10 of this act, the secretary of state shall 
 certify and transmit the list of candidates for nomination to each office according to 
 assembly districts, in the order of arrangement as determined by the above provisions; 
 and in the case of each county or city and county containing more than one assembly 
 district he shall transmit separate lists for each assembly district. Except for the 
 office of state senator or assemblyman, the order in which the names filed with the 
 secretary of state shall appear upon the ballot, shall be for each assembly district the

 order as determined by the secretary of state in accordance with the above provisions, 
 and as certified and transmitted by him to each county clerk or registrar of voters. 
 
 (6) If the office is an office to be voted on throughout, but wholly within, one 
 county or city and county, except the office of representative in congress or state 
 senator or assemblyman, the county clerk of such county or the registrar of voters 
 of such city and county, shall arrange the names of all candidates for such office in 
 alphabetical order for the first supervisorial district ; and thereafter for each super- 
 visorial district, the name appearing first for each such office in the last preceding 
 supervisorial district shall be placed last, the order of the other names remaining 
 unchanged ; provided, there are no more than five assembly districts in such county, 
 or city and county. If there are more than five assembly districts in such county, or 
 city and county, the county clerk or registrar of voters shall so arrange on the 
 ballot the order of names of all candidates for such office that they shall appear in 
 alphabetical order for that assembly district in such county, or city and county, 
 which is lowest in numerical order, and thereafter for each succeeding assembly 
 district in such county, or city and county, the name appearing first for each office 
 in the last preceding assembly district shall be placed last, the order of the other 
 names remaining unchanged. 
 
 (c) If the office is that of state senator or assemblyman, or delegate to the state 
 convention from a "hold-over senatorial district," or member of a county central 
 committee, or any office except the office of representative in congress to be voted 
 on wholly within any county or city and county but not throughout such county 
 or city or county, the names of all candidates for such office shall be placed upon 
 the ballot in alphabetical order. 
 
 (d) If the office is a municipal office in any city or town whose charter does not 
 provide for the order in which names shall appear on the ballot, the names of 
 candidates for such office shall be placed upon the ballot in alphabetical order. 
 
 8. In publishing the names and addresses of all candidates for whom nomination 
 papers have been filed, as required in section 10 of this act, the county clerk or 
 registrar of voters shall publish the names in the order in which they will appear 
 upon the ballot; provided, that in counties or cities and counties containing more 
 than one assembly district the order of names of candidates shall be that of the 
 assembly district in such county or city and county which is lowest in numerical 
 order. 
 
 9. Each group of candidates to be voted on shall be preceded by the designation 
 of the office for which the candidates seek nomination, and the words *'Vote for 
 One" or "Vote for Two" or more according to the number to be elected to such 
 office at the ensuing election. Such designation of the office to be nominated for and 
 of the number of candidates to be nominated shall be printed in heavy faced gothic 
 type, not smaller than ten point. The word or words designating the office shall be 
 printed flush with the left-hand margin and the words "Vote for One" or "Vote for 
 Two" or more, as the case may be, shall extend to the extreme right of the column 
 and over the voting square. The designation of the office and the direction for 
 voting shall be separated from the names of the candidates by a light line. 
 
 10. The names of the candidates shall be printed on the ballot without indentation, 
 in roman capital type not smaller than eight point, between light lines or rules three 
 eighths of an inch apart. Under each group of names of candidates shall be printed 
 as many blank spaces, defined by light lines or rules, three eighths of an inch apart, 
 as there are to be candidates nominated for such office. To the right of the names 
 of the candidates shall be printed a light line or rule so as to form a voting square 
 three eighths of an inch square. Each group of names of candidates shall be sepa- 
 rated from the succeeding group by one light and one heavy line or rule. Each 
 series of groups shall be headed by the word "State," "Congressional," "Legislative," 
 "County and Township" or "Municipal" or other proper general classification, as the 
 case may be, printed in heavy faced gothic capital type, not smaller than twelve point. 
 All official primary election ballots shall have printed on the back and immediately 
 below the center thereof, in eighteen point gothic capital type, the words "Official 
 Primary Election Ballot," and underneath these words the respective numbers of the 
 congressional, senatorial and assembly districts in which each ballot is to be voted.

18 DIllECt PRIMARY LAW. 
 
 In the case of a primary election for the nomination of candidates for city or city 
 and county offices only, the designations on the back of the ballot, in addition to the 
 words "Official Primary Election Ballot," shall be the official designation of the 
 respective ward and voting precinct in any such city or municipality, or the number 
 of the assembly district and of the voting precinct in any such city and county in 
 which each ballot is to be voted. The ballot shall be printed on the same leaf with 
 a stub and separated therefrom by a perforated line across the top of the ballot. 
 On each ballot a perforated line shall extend from top to bottom one half inch from 
 the right hand side of such ballot, and upon the half-inch strip thus formed there 
 shall be no printing except the number of the ballot which shall be on the back of 
 each strip, in such position that it shall appear on the outside when the ballot is 
 folded. The number on each ballot shall be the same as that on the corresponding 
 stub, and the ballots and stubs shall be numbered consecutively in each county ; 
 provided, that the sequence of numbers on such official ballots and stubs for each 
 party shall begin with the number one. The official ballots of each political party 
 shall be made up in stub books, each book to contain ten, or some multiple of ten,

20 DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 
 
 Sample ballots. 
 
 Sec. 13. At least twenty days before the August primary election or before the 
 May presidential primary election each county clerk or registrar of voters in any 
 city and county shall prepare separate sample ballots for each political party, and a 
 separate sample non-partisan ballot, placing thereon in each case in the order pro- 
 yided in subdivision 7 of section 12 of this act, and under the appropriate title of 
 each office, the names of all candidates for whom nomination papers have been duly 
 filed with him, or have been certified to him by the secretary of state, to be voted 
 for at the primary election in his county or city and county. Such sample ballots 
 shall be printed on paper of a different texture from the paper to be used on the 
 official ballot, and one sample ballot of the party to which the voter belongs as 
 evidenced by his registration shall be mailed to each such voter entitled to vote at 
 such August primary election or May presidential primary election, as the case may 
 be, not more than ten nor less than five days before the election. Not more than 
 ten nor less than five days before the August primary election a non-partisan sample 
 ballot printed on paper of a different texture from the paper to be used on the 
 official ballot shall be mailed to each registered qualified elector who is not registered 
 as intending to affiliate with any of the parties participating in said primary 
 election. Such clerk or registrar of voters shall forthwith submit the ticket of each 
 political party to the chairman of the county committee of such party and shall mail 
 a copy to each candidate for whom nomination papers have been filed with him or 
 whose name has been certified to him by the secretary of state, to the post-office 
 address as given in such nomination paper or certification, and he shall post a copy 
 of each sample ballot in a conspicuous place in his office. Before such primary 
 election the county clerk or registrar of voters in any city and county shall cause 
 the official ballot to be printed as provided by section 12 of this act, and distributed 
 in the same manner and in the same quantities as provided in sections 1198, 1199 
 and 1201 of the Political Code for the distribution of ballots for elections; provided, 
 that the number of party ballots to be furnished to any precinct shall be computed 
 from the number of voters registered in such precinct as intending to affiliate with 
 such party, and the number of non-partisan ballots to be furnished to any precinct 
 shall be computed from the number of voters registered in such precinct without 
 statement of intention to affiliate with any of the parties participating in the 
 primary election. In the case of primary elections for the nomination of candi- 
 dates for city offices it shall be the duty of the city clerk, secretary of the legislative 
 body of such city or municipality, or such other officer charged by law with the duty 
 of preparing and distributing the official ballots used at elections in such city or 
 municipality, to prepare and mail the sample ballot and to prepare and distribute 
 the official primary election ballots, and so far as applicable and not otherwise 
 provided herein the provisions of this act shall apply to the nomination of all 
 candidates for city offices. 
 
 Opening and closing of polls. 
 
 Sec. 14. The polls must be open at six o'clock of the morning of the day of 
 primary election and must be kept open until seven o'clock in the afternoon of the 
 same day, when the polls shall be closed ; provided, hotcever, that if at the hour of 
 closing there are any voters in the polling place, or in line at the door, who are 
 qualified to vote and have not been able to do so since appearing, the polls shall be 
 kept open a sufficient time to enable them to vote. But no one who shall arrive 
 at the polling place after seven o'clock in the afternoon shall be entitled to vote, 
 although the polls may be open when he arrives. No adjournment or intermission 
 shall be taken except as provided in the case of general elections. 
 
 Election officers. 
 
 Sec. 15. The officers for primary elections shall be the same, and shall be 
 appointed in the same manner, as provided by law for general elections, and such 
 officers shall receive the same compensation for their services at primary elections 
 as provided by law for general elections. 
 
DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 21 
 
 It shall be the duty of the proper oflScers to furnish the original aflSdavits of 
 registration and indexes for use at primary elections, which shall show the names 
 of all voters entitled to vote at such primary election, and shall be numbered, for 
 purposes of the primary election, in like manner as provided in section 1113 of the 
 Political Code. And all the provisions of section 1090 of the Political Code, so far 
 as they are consistent with the provisions of this act, are hereby made applicable to 
 primary elections within the meaning of this act. 
 
 Challenge of voter. 
 
 Sec. 16. Any elector offering to vote at a primary election may be challenged 
 by any elector of the city, city and county or county, upon either or all of 
 the grounds specified in section 1230 of the Political Code, but his right to vote 
 the primary election ticket of the political party designated in his afl5Javit of regis- 
 tration, as provided in section 109C of the Political Code, or his right to vote the 
 non-partisan primary ticket providing no such party is so designated, shall not be 
 challenged on any ground or subjected to any tests other than those provided by the 
 constitution and section 1230 of the Political Code of this state. 
 
 Who may vote. 
 
 Sec, 17. Any elector qualified to take part in any primary election, who has, 
 at least thirty days before the day of such primary election, qualified by registration, 
 as provided by section 109G of the Political Code, shall be entitled to vote at such 
 primary election, such right to vote being subject to challenge only as hereinbefore 
 provided ; and shall, on writing his name or having it written for him on the roster, 
 as provided by law for general elections in this state, receive the ofiicial primary 
 election ballot of the political party designated in his affidavit of registration ; 
 (or the non-partisan ballot, providing no such party was so designated), and no 
 other; provided, however, that no one shall be entitled to vote at any primary elec- 
 tion who has not been a resident of the state one year, and of the county ninety days, 
 preceding the day upon which such primary election is held. He shall be instructed 
 by a member of the board as to the proi)er method of marking and folding his 
 ballot, and he shall then retire to an unoccupied booth and without undue delay 
 stamp the same with the rubber stamp there found. If he shall spoil or deface the 
 ballot he shall at once return the same to the ballot clerk and receive another. 
 
 Ballots, how marked. 
 
 Sec. 18. The voter shall designate his choice on the ballot by stamping a cross 
 ( X ) in the small square opposite the name of each candidate for whom he wishes 
 to vote. If he shall stamp more names than there are candidates to be nominated 
 for any office, or if for any reason it be impossible to determine his choice for any 
 office, his ballot shall not be counted for such office, but the rest of his ballot, if 
 properly stamped, shall be counted. No ballot shall be rejected for any technicifl 
 error which does not render it impossible to determine the voter's choice, nor even 
 though such ballot be somewhat soiled or defaced. 
 
 Ballots, hov^ folded. 
 
 Sec. 19. When a voter has stamped his ballot he shall fold it so that its face 
 shall be concealed and only the printed designation on the back thereof shall be 
 visible, and hand the same to the member of the board in charge of the ballot box. 
 Such folded ballot shall be voted as ballots are voted at general elections and the 
 name of the voter checked upon the register as having voted. 
 
 No intermission. 
 
 Sec. 20. No adjournment or intermission whatever shall take place until the 
 Iiolls shall be closed and until all the votes cast at such polls shall be counted and the 
 result publicly announced, but this shall not be deemed to prevent any temporary 
 recess while taking meals or for the purpose of other necessary delay; provided, 
 that no more than one member of the board shall at any time be absent from the 
 polling place. 
 
22 DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 
 
 Canvass of votes. 
 
 Sec. 21. As soon as the polls are finally closed the judges must immediately 
 proceed to canvass the votes cast at such primary election. The canvass must be 
 public, in the presence of bystanders, and must be continued without adjournment 
 ^until completed and the result thereof declared. Except as hereinafter provided, 
 the canvass shall be conducted, completed and returned as provided by sections 1253, 
 1254, 1255, 1256, 1257, 1258, 1259, 12G0, 12G1, 1262, 1263, 1264, 1205, 1206, 1207 
 and 120S of the Political Code of this state ; provided, however, that the ballots of 
 each party must be sealed and returned in separate envelopes, and the non-partisan 
 ballots must be sealed and returned in another separate envelope. The number of 
 ballots agreeing or being made to agree with the number of names on the lists, as 
 provided by section 1255 of the Political Code, the board must take the ballots from 
 the box, count those cast by each party, and string them separately ; count all the 
 votes cast for each party candidate for the several offices and record the same on 
 the tally lists ; and count all the votes on all the ballots, both party and non-partisan, 
 for the candidates for judicial, school, county, and township offices, and record the 
 same on the tally lists. 
 
 Canvass of returns. Statement of result. 
 
 Sec. 22. The board of supervisors of each county, the board of election com- 
 missioners in any city and county, or, in the case of a city or municipal primary 
 election, the officers charged by law with the duty of canvassing the vote at any city 
 or municipal election in such political subdivision, shall meet at the usual place 
 of such meeting, or at any other place permitted by law, at one o'clock in the 
 afternoon of the first Thursday after each primary election to canvass the returns, 
 or as soon thereafter as all the returns are in. When begun the canvass shall be 
 continued until completed, which shall not be later than six o'clock in the afternoon 
 of the sixteenth day following such primary election. The clerk of the board must, 
 as soon as the result is declared, enter upon the records of such board a statement 
 of such result, which statement shall contain the whole number of votes cast for each 
 candidate of each political party for each candidate for each judicial, school, county, 
 or township office, for each candidate for delegate, if any, to a state convention 
 from a hold-over senatorial district, and for each candidate for membership in the 
 county central committee; and a duplicate as to each political party shall be deliv- 
 ered to the county, city and county or city chairman of such political party, as the 
 case may be. The clerk shall also make an additional duplicate statement in the 
 same form, showing the votes cast for each candidate not voted for wholly within 
 the limits of such county or city and county. The county clerk or registrar of 
 voters in any city and county shall forthwith send to the secretary of state by 
 registered mail or by express one complete copy of all returns as to such candi- 
 dates, and as to all candidates for the state assembly, state senate, representatives 
 in congress, judicial officers, except justices of the peace, delegate, if any, to a state 
 convention from a hold-over senatorial district, and as to all persons voted for at 
 the May presidential primary election. The clerk shall also prepare a separate 
 statement of the names of the candidates of each i>olitical party who have received 
 the highest number of votes for the several offices to be voted for wholly within such 
 county, city and county, or other political subdivision in which such primary 
 election was held. The secretary of state shall, not later than the twenty-fifth day 
 after any primarj' election, compile the returns for United States senator and for 
 all candidates voted for in more than one county, and for all candidates for the 
 assembly, state senate, representatives in congress and judicial offices, except jus- 
 tices of the peace, delegate, if any, to a state convention from a hold-over senatorial 
 district, and for all persons voted for at the May presidential primary election, and 
 shall make out and file in his office a statement thereof. He shall compile the 
 returns for the May presidential primary election not later than the twenty-first day 
 after such election, and shall compile said returns in such a manner as to show, 
 for each candidate, both the total of the votes received and the votes received in each 
 congressional district of the state. 
 
DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 23 
 
 Certificates of nomination. 
 
 Sec. 23. Except in the case of a candidate for nomination to a judicial office, 
 school office, county office, or township office, the person receiving the highest num- 
 ber of votes, at a primary election as the candidate for the nomination of a political 
 party for an office shall be the candidate of the party for such office, and his name 
 as such candidate shall be placed on the official ballot voted at the ensuing election ; 
 provided, he has paid the filing fee required by subdivision 8 of section 7 of this act. 
 The name of the person in each political party who receives at a primary election 
 the highest number of votes for United States senator shall also be placed on the 
 official ballot under the heading "United States Senator." In the case of a judicial 
 office, school office, county office, or township office, the candidates equal in number 
 to twice the number to be elected to such office, or less, if so there be, who receive 
 the highest number of the votes cast on all the ballots of all the voters participating 
 in the primary election for nomination to such office, shall be the candidates for 
 such office at the ensuing election, and their names as such candidates shall be placed 
 on the official ballot voted at the ensuing election ; provided, however, that in case 
 there is but one person to be elected at the November election to a judicial office, 
 school office, county office, or township office, any candidate who receives at the 
 August primary election a majority of the total number of votes cast for all the 
 candidates for such office shall be the only candidate for such office at the ensuing 
 election. Of the candidates for election to membership in the county central com- 
 mittee, the candidates equal in number to the number to be elected receiving the 
 highest number of votes in their supervisorial district or assembly district, as the 
 case may be in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 4 of section 24 of this 
 act, shall be declared elected as the representatives of their district to membership 
 in such committee. It shall be the duty of the officers charged with the canvass of 
 the returns of any primary election in any county, city and county or municipality 
 to cause to be issued official certificates of nomination to such party candidates 
 as have received the highest number of votes as the candidates for the nomination 
 of such party for any offices to be voted for wholly within such county, city 
 and county, or municipality, and cause to be issued to such delegate a certificate 
 of his election ; and to cause to be issued official certificates of nomination to 
 such candidates for judicial, school, county, or township office as may be entitled 
 thereto under the provisions of this section. It shall be the duty of the secre- 
 tary of state to issue official certificates of nomination to candidates nominated 
 under the provisions of this act for representatives in congress, members of the 
 state senate and assembly and officers voted for in more than one county ; and to 
 issue certificates of election to all persons elected at the May presidential primary 
 election as delegates to their respective national party conventions, and to notify 
 each of said delegates of the total vote received by each of the persons voted for in 
 his party at said election, under the heading "For Presidential Nominee." Not less 
 than thirty days before the November election the secretary of state shall certify 
 to the county clerks or registrars of voters of each county and city and county 
 within the state, the name of every person entitled to receive votes within such 
 county or city and county at said November election who has received the nomina- 
 tion as a candidate for public office under and pursuant to the provisions of this 
 act, and whose nomination is evidenced by the compilation and statement required 
 to be made by said secretary of state and filed in his office, as provided in section 22 
 of this act. Such certificates shall in addition to the names of such nominees 
 respectively, also show separately and respectively for each nominee the name of 
 the political party or organization which has nominated such person if any and the 
 designation of the public office for which he is so nominated. The secretary of state 
 shall also certify to the county clerk or registrar of voters the names of those per- 
 sons who have received in their respective parties the highest number of votes for 
 United States senator. 
 
 Party conventions. 
 
 Sec. 24. 1. Party conventions of delegates chosen as hereinafter provided may 
 be held in this state, for the purpose of promulgating platforms and transacting 
 such other business of the party as is not inconsistent with the provisions of this act. 
 
24 DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 
 
 2. The candidates of each political party for state oflScers, if any, except judicial 
 and school oflBcers, and such candidates for senate and assembly as have been nom- 
 inated by such political party at the primary election, and in whose behalf nomina- 
 tion papers have been filed, together with one delegate chosen by such political party 
 from each senatorial district represented by a hold-over senator, shall meet in a 
 state convention at the state capitol at two o'clock in the afternoon of the third 
 Tuesday in September after the date on which any primary election is held pre- 
 liminary to the general November election. They shall forthwith formulate the 
 state platforms of their party, which said state platform of each political party shall 
 be framed at such time that it shall be made public not later than six o'clock in the 
 afternoon of the following Thursday. They shall also proceed to elect a state cen- 
 tral committee to consist of at least three (3) members from each congressional 
 district, who shall hold office until a new state central committee shall have been 
 selected. In each year of the general November election at which electors of presi- 
 dent and vice president of the United States are to be chosen, they shall also 
 nominate as the candidates of their party as many electors of president and vice 
 president of the United States as the state is then entitled to, and it shall be the 
 duty of the secretary of state to issue certificates of nomination to the electors so 
 nominated, and to cause the names of such candidates for elector to be placed upon 
 the ballots at the ensuing November election. 
 
 Membership in the state convention shall not be granted to a party nominee for 
 a state office or office of senator or assemblyman who has become such by reason of 
 his name having been written on a ballot, and who has not had his name printed 
 on the primary ballot by having had a nomination paper filed in his behalf, as pro- 
 vided in section 5 of this act ; and, in every such case, a vacancy shall be deemed to 
 exist ; and any vacancy thereby existing, or existing because no nomination for such 
 office has been made, or for any other cause, shall be filled as hereinafter provided. 
 In any senatorial district represented by a hold-over senator there shall be chosen 
 at such primary election by the electors of every political party one delegate to the 
 state convention, who shall have nomination papers circulated in his behalf, shall 
 have his name placed upon the ballot, and shall be chosen in the same manner as a 
 state senator is nominated from any senatorial district ; but no such delegate shall 
 be disqualified by reason of holding any office, nor shall any filing fee be required in 
 order to have his name placed upon the ballot. The term "hold-over senator" as 
 herein used shall apply to a state senator whose term of office extends beyond the 
 first Monday in January of the year next ensuing after the primary election, and 
 the term "hold-over senatorial district" shall apply to the district represented by 
 such hold-over senator. 
 
 In the event that there shall not have been filed any nomination paper for a can- 
 didate for any state office or office of senator or assemblyman by the electors of any 
 political party, the vacancy thus created in the state convention of such party shall 
 be filled as follows : 
 
 (c) If the vacancy occurs in a senatorial or assembly district situated wholly 
 within the limits of a single county or city and county, by appointment by the newly 
 elected county central committee of such party in such county or city and county. 
 
 (&) If the vacancy occurs in a senatorial or assembly district comprising two or 
 more counties, by appointment by the newly selected chairman of the several newly 
 elected county central committees of such party in such counties. 
 
 (c) If the vacancy occurs in a state office, by appointment by the state central 
 committee of such party. 
 
 Such delegate so appointed shall present to the convention credentials signed by 
 the chairman and the secretary of the appointing committee, or by the appointing 
 chairmen of the several committees, as the case may be. 
 
 3. Each state central committee may select an executive committee, to which 
 executive committee it may grant all or any portion of its powers and duties. It 
 shall choose its officers by ballot and each committee and its officers shall have the 
 power usually exercised by the such committees and the officers thereof in so far as 
 
DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 25 
 
 may be consistent with this act. The various officers and committees now in exist- 
 ence shall exercise the powers and perform the duties herein prescribed until their 
 successor are chosen in accordance with the provisions of this act. 
 
 4. At each August primary election there shall be elected in each county or city 
 and county a county central committee for each political party, which shall have 
 charge of the party campaign under general direction of the state central committee 
 or of the executive committee selected by such state central committee. In all 
 counties or cities and counties containing five or more assembly districts the 
 county central committee shall be elected by assembly districts and shall consist 
 of one member for each one thousand electors or fraction thereof in each such 
 assembly district registered as belonging to the political party with which such 
 electors are affiliated as shown by the register of voters of such county or city and 
 county on the first Monday of June next preceding said primary election. In all 
 counties containing less than five assembly districts the county central committee 
 shall be elected by supervisorial districts, and the number to be elected from any 
 supervisorial district shall be determined as follows : the number of electors regis- 
 tered in any supervisorial district as intending to affiliate with any political party 
 shall be divided by one twentieth of the number of electors registered in the entire 
 county as intending to affiliate with said party, as such registration exists, in each 
 case, on the first Monday of June next preceding the primary election ; and the 
 integer next larger than the quotient obtained by such division shall constitute the 
 number of members of the county central committee to be elected by such party in 
 said supervisorial district. The county clerk or registrar of voters in each county 
 or city and county shall, between the first Monday and the second Monday of June 
 next preceding the primary election, complete the number of members of the county 
 central committee allotted to each assembly district or supervisorial district, as the 
 case may be, by the provisions of this subdivision. Each candidate for member of 
 a county central committee shall appear upon the ballot upon the filing of a nomin- 
 ation paper according to the provisions of section 5 of this act, signed in his behalf 
 by the electors of the political subdivision in which he is a candidate, as above 
 provided ; and the number of candidates to which each party is entitled, as herein- 
 before provided, in each political subdivision, receiving the highest number of votes 
 shall be declared elected. Each county central committee shall meet in the court 
 house at its county seat on the second Tuesday in September following the August 
 primary election, and shall organize by selecting a chairman, a secretary and such 
 other officers and committees as it shall deem necessary for carrying on the campaign 
 of the party. 
 
 Vacancies. 
 
 Sec. 25. In case as a result of any primary election a person has received a 
 nomination to any elective office without first having filed nominating papers and 
 having his name printed on the primary election ballot, he may at least thirty days 
 before the day of election cause his name to be withdrawn from nomination by 
 filing in the office where he would have filed his nominating papers had he been a 
 candidate for nomination, his request therefor in writing, signed by him and acknowl- 
 edged before the county clerk of the county in which he resides, and no name so 
 withdrawn shall be printed on the election ballot for the ensuing general election. 
 The vacancy created by the withdrawal of such person as aforesaid, or on account 
 of the ineligibility of such person to qualify as a candidate because of the inhibitions 
 of subdivision 8 of section 5 of tJiis act shall not be filled. In all other cases 
 vacancies occurring after the holding of any primary election may be filled by the 
 party committee of the city, county, city and county, or state, as the case may be, 
 unless such vacancy occurs among candidates chosen at the primary election to go 
 on the ballot for the succeeding general election for a judicial, school, county, or 
 township office according to the provisions of section 23 of this act, in which case 
 that candidate receiving at said primary election the highest vote among all the 
 candidates for said office who have failed to receive a sufficient number of votes to 
 get upon said ballot according to the provisions of said section 23, shall go upon 
 said ballot to fill said vacancy. 
 
26 DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 
 
 Tie vote. 
 
 Sec. 26. In case of a tie vote, if for an office to be voted for wholly within one 
 county or city and county, the county, city and county or city board, as the case may 
 be, shall forthwith summon the candidates who have received such tie votes to 
 ^ appear before such board, and such board in the presence of such candidates shall 
 determine the tie by lot. In the case of a tie vote for an office to be voted for in 
 more than one county, such tie shall be determined by lot by the secretary of state 
 in the presence of the candidates or their legally appointed representatives. Such 
 summons must in every case be mailed to the address of the candidate as it appears 
 upon his afiBdavit of registration. 
 
 Errors and omissions. 
 
 Sec. 27. Whenever it shall be made to appear by affidavit to the supreme court 
 or district courts of appeal or superior court of the proper county that an error or 
 omission has occurred or is about to occur in the placing of any name on an 
 official primary election ballot, that any error has been or is about to be committed 
 in printing such ballot, or that any wrongful act has been or is about to be done by 
 any judge or clerk of a primary election, county clerk, registrar of voters in any 
 city and county, canvassing board or any member thereof, or other person charged 
 with any duty concerning the primary election, or that any neglect of duty has 
 occurred or is about to occur, such court shall order the officer or person charged 
 with such error, wrong or neglect to forthwith correct the error, desist from the 
 wrongful act or perform the duty, or forthwith show cause why he should not do so. 
 Any person who shall fail to obey the order of such court shall be cited forthwith 
 to show cause why he shall not be adjudged in contempt of court. 
 
 Contest of nomination. 
 
 Sec. 28. Any candidate at a primary election, desiring to contest a nomination 
 of another candidate for the same office, may, within five days after the completion 
 of the official canvass, file an affidavit in the office of the clerk of the superior 
 court of the county in which he desires to contest the vote returned from any pre- 
 cinct or precincts in such county, and thereupon have a recount of the ballots cast 
 in any such precinct or precincts, in accordance with the provisions of this section. 
 Such affidavit must specify separately each precinct in which a recount is 
 demanded, and the nature of the mistake, error, misconduct, or other cause why 
 it is claimed that the returns from such precinct do not correctly state the vote 
 as cast in such precinct, for the contestant and the contestee. The contestee 
 must be made a party respondent, and so named in the affidavit. No personal 
 service or other service than as herein provided need be made upon the contestee. 
 Upon the filing of such affidavit the county clerk shall forthwith post in a con- 
 spicuous place in his office, upon a bulletin board to be prepared for that purpose, 
 and to have upon it in conspicuous letters the words "Notice of primary election 
 contests'' a copy of the affidavit. Upon the filing of such affidavit and the posting 
 of the same, the superior court of the county shall have jurisdiction of the subject 
 matter and of the parties to such contest, and all candidates at any such primary 
 election are permitted to be candidates under this act, upon the condition that such 
 jurisdiction for the purposes of the proceeding authorized by this section shall exist 
 in the manner and under the conditions provided for by this section. The con- 
 testant on the date of filing such affidavit, must mail a copy thereof to the contestee 
 in a sealed envelope, with postage prepaid, addressed to the contestee at the place 
 of residence named in the affidavit of registration of such contestee, and shall make 
 an affidavit of such mailing and file the same with the county clerk to become a 
 part of the records of the contest. Within two days after the expiration of the 
 time for filing such affidavits, the county clerk shall present all such affidavits and 
 proof of posting as aforesaid to the judge of the superior court of the county, or any 
 judge acting in his place, or the presiding judge of the superior court of a county 
 or city and county, or any one acting in his stead, which judge shall, upon such 
 presentation, forthwith designate the time and place where such contest shall pro- 
 ceed, and in counties or cities and counties where there are more than one superior 
 judge, assign all the cases to one department by the order of such court. Such order 
 
DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 27 
 
 must so assign such case or cases, and fix such time and place for hearing, which 
 time must not be less than one nor more than three days from the presentation of 
 the matter to the court by the county clerk, as herein provided. It shall be the duty 
 of the contestee to appear either in person or by attorney, at the time and place 
 so fixed, and to take notice of the order fixing such time and place from the records 
 of the court, without service. No special appearance of the contestee for any 
 purpose shall be permitted, and any appearance whatever of the contestee or any 
 request of the court by the contestee or his attorney, shall be entered as a general 
 appearance in the contest. No demurrer or objection can be taken by the contestee 
 in any other manner than by answer, and all the objections of the contestee must be 
 contained in his answer in the contest. The court if the contestee shall appear, 
 must require the answer to be made within three days from the time and place as 
 above provided, and if the contestee shall not appear shall note his default, and 
 shall proceed with all convenient speed. If the number of votes which are sought 
 to be recounted, or the number of contests are such that the judge shall be of 
 opinion that it will require additional judges to enable the contest or contests to be 
 determined in time to print the ballots for the election, if there be only one judge for 
 such county, he may obtain the service of any other superior judge, and the pro- 
 ceedings shall be the same as herein provided in counties where there is more than 
 one superior court judge. If the proceeding is in a county or city and county 
 where there is more than one superior court judge, the judge to whom the case or 
 cases shall be assigned, shall notify the presiding judge forthwith, of the number of 
 judges which he deems necessary to participate, in order to finish the contest or 
 contests in time to print the ballots for the primary election, and the said presiding 
 judge shall forthwith designate as many judges as are necessary to such completion 
 of such contest, by order in writing, and thereupon all of the judges so designated 
 shall participate in the recount of such ballots and the giving of judgment in such 
 contest or contests in the manner herein specified. The said judges so designated 
 by said last mentioned order, including the judge to whom said contests were origi- 
 nally assigned, shall convene upon notice from the judge to whom such contest or 
 contests were originally assigned, and agree upon the precincts which each one of 
 such judges will recount, sitting separately, and thereupon such recount shall proceed 
 before each such judge sitting separately, as to the precincts so arranged, in such 
 manner that the recount shall be made in such precincts before each such judge as 
 to all the contests pending, so that the ballots opened before one judge need not be 
 opened before another judge or department, and the proceedings before such judge in 
 making such recount as to the appointment of the clerk and persons necessary to be 
 assistants of the court in making the same, shall be the same as in contested 
 elections, and the judge shall fix the pay or compensation for such persons and 
 require the payment each day in advance, of the amount thereof by the person who 
 is proceeding with and requiring the recount. When the recount shall have been 
 completed in the manner herein required, if more than one judge has taken part 
 therein, all the judges who took part shall assemble and make the decision of court, 
 and if there be any differences of opinion, a majority of such judges shall finally 
 determine all such questions, and give the decision or judgment of the court in 
 such contest or contests, separately. Such decision or judgment of the court shall 
 be final in every respect, and no appeal can be had therefrom. The judgment shall 
 be served upon the county clerk or registrar of voters by delivery of a certified copy 
 thereof, and may be enforced summarily in the manner provided in section 27 of 
 this act, and if the contest proceeds in more than one county, and the nominee is 
 to be certified by the secretary of state from the compilation of election returns in 
 his ofiice, then the judgment in each county shall show what, if any changes in the 
 returns in the office of the secretary of state relating to such county or city and 
 county, ought to bo made, and all such judgments shall be served upon the secretary 
 of state, by the delivery of a certified copy, and he shall make such changes in the 
 record in his office as such judgment or judgments require, and conform his com- 
 pilation and his certificate of nomination in accordance therewith.

 THE DIRECT PRIMARY LAW IN OPERATION.

 (March 16, 1914.) 
 
 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS. 
 
 Before entering into any detailed explanation of the workings of the 
 
 California direct primary law, a half dozen general statements regarding 
 
 the law may properly be made. 
 
 TIME AND NATURE OF PRIMARY ELECTION. 
 
 '3. 1. Party nominations for the placing of party candidates on the ballot 
 
 for the general election in November are by this law now brought about by 
 party primary elections to be held on the last Tuesday in August preceding 
 the November election. Although these primary elections are in reality dis- 
 
 S 12, 1 1. tinct and separate party elections on a separate and distinct ballot for each 
 party, they are, for the sake of convenience and economy, all held on the 
 same day, in the same place, and before the same set of election oflScials. 
 Each of these parties, wherever qualified to so participate, will have its 
 separate party ticket at the election booth, containing the names of all 
 
 I 5. f 6. such aspirants for nomination for each office as have complied with the 
 provisions of the law as hereinafter set forth. 
 
 This consolidation of primary elections for the various parties is made 
 feasible through the fact that voters in registering have in most cases 
 stated their party affiliations, and the election officers are therefore able 
 to hand to each voter, as he presents himself, his proper party ballot. If 
 
 I W- he has not, in registering, affiliated himself with any party, he is, for pur- 
 
 poses of the primary, regarded as a non-partisan ; and as such he is fur- 
 nished, not with a party ballot, but with a ballot containing the names of 
 all candidates for non-partisan offices, as hereinafter described. 
 
 Thus every voter, whether registered as a partisan or not, can now 
 participate in a primary election ; the only restriction being that only those 
 who are members of any particular party are permitted to take part in 
 the councils of that party in nominating its party candidates. 
 
 PARTIES QUALIFIED TO TAKE PART IN PRIMARY. 
 
 1 1, 1 9a. 2. The August primary election may be participated in by all political 
 
 parties which, at the last general election, polled, for any of its candidates 
 voted on throughout the state, at least three per cent of the entire vote of 
 the state ; or, for any one of its candidates who was the joint candidate 
 of itself and another party, at least six per cent of such vote. By this 
 provision the Democratic, Progressive, Prohibitionist, Republican, and 
 Socialist parties all qualified at the last presidential election for taking 
 part in the primary election of 1914. 
 
 In addition to the parties which have qualified for the primary as above 
 
 J 1. 1 9b. outlined, any other party may also qualify in either of two ways : iirat, 
 by registering under its party name (or under its proposed party name, 
 if it is a new party) at least three per cent of the total registration of 
 the state ; or second, by filing with the secretary of state a petition for the 
 formation of such party, containing the names of signers equal in number 
 
 1 1. f 9c. to at least three per cent of the registration of the state for the last 
 general election. The only restriction on the formation of such new party 
 is that its party name shall not be so similar to the name of an existing 
 party as to mislead the voter. 
 
 Thus, by these various provisions, it is made possible that any new 
 party large enough to contain at least three per cent of the electorate may 
 
ANALYSIS OF DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 63 
 
 qualify to take part in the primary election. This power of establishing 
 a new party w-as not provided for in any primary law before this year, 
 and undoubtedly constitutes one of the most important additions in the 
 revision of the statute. 
 
 THE PRIMABY FOR NON-PARTISAN OFFICES. 
 
 3. All candidates for any judicial office, school office, county office, or 
 township office are hereafter to be nominated on a strictly non-partisan 
 basis, and all the aspirants for nomination to each of such offices are to 5 12, i 6. 
 be placed on all the ballots of every political party participating in the 
 election, in such a manner that the ballots of all the parties shall be 8 5. 1 6. 
 identical as to the candidates for thes'e non-partisan offices. These non- 
 partisan candidates shall also have their names appear on a separate 
 special non-partisan ballot to be voted, as stated above, only by those ; 12, j 1. 
 electors who, in registering, did not declare their party affiliations. 
 
 For each of these non-partisan offices the two candidates who receive 
 the highest number of votes (or the one candidate, provided he receives a 
 majority vote) shall go upon the ballot at the November election without 8 23. 
 any party designation whatever. 
 
 The extension of these non-partisan offices to apply to all county offices, 
 just as they have been previously applied to all municipal offices under 
 the charters of most cities, constitutes what is possibly the most important 
 change in the recent revision of the primary law. It seems generally 
 conceded that the next step will logically be the application of the non- 
 partisan feature to state and legislative offices as well, thus permitting 
 national party designations and affiliations to apply only to national issues. 
 
 ELECTORS QUALIFIED TO VOTE AT PRIMARY. 
 
 4. As indicated above, except to the extent of voting for candidates 
 for non-partisan offices, no voter is permitted to participate in an August | ^ 
 primary election unless he has stated on his affidavit of registration with 
 what party he intends to affiliate at the ensuing primary election — whether 
 Republican, Progressive, Democratic, etc. ; and at the election he shall 
 receive the ballot only of that party with which he has registered his 
 affiliation. Nor, except for candidates for such non-partisan offices, is any § 1094. 
 voter permitted to sign the nomination paper for any candidate to be ° " ° ^ 
 voted on at such election unless he is registered as belonging to the party 
 
 under which the nomination is being made. Nor is any voter qualified to supremo 
 participate in any August primary election or to sign any nomination dSon, 
 paper for a candidate to be voted on at such election, unless he has regis- z^ansky 
 tered since the first day of January preceding the election. (s. f. 
 
 INDEPENDENT NOMINATIONS SUBSEQUENT TO PRIMARY. 
 
 5. An aspirant for any office not non-partisan, (t. e., not a judicial, 5 5, j g, 
 school, county, or township office), may, by the provisions of section 1188 f.oV^code. 
 of the Political Code, also get upon the ballots of the November election 
 
 as an independent candidate, providing, first, that he secures a nominating 
 petition of at least one per cent of the vote in his district at the last 
 preceding election, none of the signers of which petition has voted at the 
 recent primary election ; and second, that he himself was not a candidate 
 for such office at such primary election. 
 
 This method of getting upon the ballot is prohibited to candidates for 
 non-partisan office, for the reason that every candidate for this class of 
 office is from the beginning an independent candidate, and has run as such 
 ftl the primary — a primary, moreover, so far as the non-partisan office is 
 concerned, at which all aspirants are permitted to contest, and in which 
 all electors are permitted to vote, whether registered as partisan or non- 
 partisan. To permit an aspirant for such an office to become an inde- 
 
64 DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 
 
 pendent candidate after the primary at which other independent candi- 
 dates have qualified, would be to give one independent candidate an unfair 
 advantage over another. If candidates for non-partisan office were per- 
 mitted to qualify in November under the provisions of section 1188, it 
 would soon occur that no non-partisan candidate would run except in this 
 V. manner, and the primary, with its great service of weeding out minority 
 
 candidates, would soon become a dead letter so far as such offices are 
 concerned. Accordingly this method of securing an independent nomina- 
 tion is now restricted to candidates for offices which are not on a non- 
 partisan basis. 
 
 METHOD OF NOMINATION AT THE PRIMARY. 
 
 6. An August primary election is conducted exactly like the general 
 election in November. The election officers and their duties are the same. 
 The voter stamps a cross ( X ) opposite the name of his choice for each 
 office in the usual manner. The votes are counted, returns are made to 
 
 S! 15-22. the boards of supervisors and canvassed by them, results are recorded or 
 transmitted to the secretary of state — all as in the general election. Of 
 all the candidates for each of the offices on the Republican ballots the one 
 receiving the highest vote is the Republican nominee, to go upon the 
 general ballot as such at the November election. Similarly the candidate 
 receiving the highest number of votes on the Progressive ballots is the 
 Progressive nominee, and so on. 
 
 i 23. The only exceptions to this method of nomination are for the judicial, 
 
 school, county, and township offices, in which case, as has already been 
 stated, the two candidates for each office receiving the highest number of 
 votes shall be the nominees on the November ballot, or the one candidate 
 providing he receives a majority of all votes cast for the office. 
 
 A. c. A. 19. Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 19, now pending and to be 
 voted upon next November, very wisely permits that any county candidate 
 receiving a clear majority over all competitors shall be declared elected at 
 the primary, without being obliged to run again in November. Thus, in 
 the case of such a candidate, the primary would become a final election 
 instead of a merely eliminating election as at present. This provision as 
 to a candidate receiving a majority is already in force in most chartered 
 cities, but is constitutionally forbidden elsewhere until Amendment No. 19 
 is adopted. 
 
 THE OPERATION OF THE LAW. 
 
 Let us now in narrative form and in a strictly non-technical fashion 
 examine the workings of this law, by showing in their order the various 
 steps to be taken by the candidate and the voter in carrying out its 
 provisions. 
 
 THE QUALIFYING OF A PARTY FOR THE ELECTION. 
 
 « 1. f 9b. As outlined in 2 above, an opportunity is given any political party to 
 
 qualify for participation in the primary election by securing at least 
 three per cent of the current registration. In order to convey accurate 
 
 8 4. 1 1. information as to the progress of this registration, both to the proponents 
 of the political party interested and to the secretary of state, whose duty 
 it is to certify what parties are qualified to take part in the primary, four 
 registration reports are required to be made to the secretary of state's 
 office by the various county clerks, in February, March, June and July of 
 each even numbered year. (Form 1.) 
 
 THE CALLING OF THE ELECTION. 
 
 § 4, 1 L At least forty days before the last Tuesday in August, the date of the 
 
 August primary election, the secretary of state shall transmit to each 
 
ANALYSIS OF DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 65 
 
 county clerk or registrar of voters, a notice designating the offices for which 
 candidates are to be nominated at such election, and the names of the 
 political parties qualified to participate in such election. (Form 2.) 
 
 Within ten days after the receipt of such notice, the county clerk or § 4. ^ 2. 
 registrar shall publish so much thereof as shall be applicable to his county 
 {Form 3), once each week for two successive weeks in not more than two 
 newspapers of the county. 
 
 THE NOMINATION PAPER AND ITS SIGNERS. 
 
 As a prerequisite for placing upon the primary ballot of any political § 5, 1 1. 
 party the name of any candidate for any office except a non-partisan office 
 (i. e., a judicial, school, county, or township office), a paper placing such 
 candidate in nomination must be signed by the voters of such party, exam- 
 ined by the county clerk as to correctness and validity of signatures, and, 
 (xcept in the case of papers nominating members of the county central 5 e, n 1, 2. 
 committee, filed, as provided below, with the secretary of state. 
 
 The signatures to such nomination paper must not be obtained by the 55^4 
 candidate himself, nor by any one connected with the office of the county 
 clerk or registrar of voters, but by electors of the county in which the 
 paper is circulated, called verification deputies, and appointed as herein- § 5, i 2. 
 after set forth. 
 
 The nomination paper is prepared in sections (Form 8), each section 55,1(3. 
 containing at the head the statement of the signers thereto, in which the 
 voter after stating his party affiliation, states that he hereby nominates 
 such candidate for such office, that he will support his nomination in the 
 ensuing election, and that he has not nominated any other candidate for 
 the same office. No such paper shall be signed earlier than seventy days 
 nor later than forty days prior to the date of the August primary. Below 
 this statement are blank lines in which the voter may sign his name and 
 residence, and in which may also be added the precinct of the signer and 
 the date of signing. Each sectioji must, for convenience of the county 
 clerk, be signed only by voters of the same city or town, or territory of 
 the county outside of any city or town, and all signatures on each section 
 must be numbered. At the end of each section of the nomination paper 
 the verification deputy must swear that every signature thereon was made 
 in his presence, and is, to the best of his knowledge and belief, the genuine 
 signature of the person whose name it purports to be. 
 
 NUMBER OF SIGNATURES REQUIRED. 
 
 The number of signatures required to such nomination paper is not less 5 5, j 5. 6. 
 than one half of one per cent in the case of a candidate for an office to 
 be voted on throughout the state (in other cases not less than one per 
 cent), and not more than two per cent, of the highest vote cast at the 
 last general election, in the political subdivision in which the candidate 
 seeks nomination, for any candidate of his political party who ran as a 
 cardidate of such party only — that is, without the endorsement of any 
 other party. 
 
 This low percentage requirement necessitates for a candidate for assem- 
 blyman, for instance, in a district of ordinary size, only thirty-five or forty 
 nomination papers to be signed, thus allowing the candidate to carefully 
 select those who are asked to sign, and making his nomination paper a 
 really important and weighty endorsement of his candidacy. 
 
 No more than a two per cent quota of nomination papers is permitted § 6, j 4, 5. 
 to be filed, and no more than three per cent is allowed to be secured, thus 
 serving a double purpose of preventing the persistent circulation of nomi- 
 nation papers from becoming a nuisance to the public, and also preventing 
 any candidate from attempting to "tie up" voters in advance by getting a 
 large percentage of their names signed up for himself. 
 5 — DL 
 
66 DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 
 
 8 6, n 5. If through excess of zeal on the part of the candidate's verification 
 
 deputies; or through a lack of "team work" on their part, more than this 
 three per cent of signatures are secured, the candidate must notify each 
 signer whose name appears on sections of the paper which create the 
 v^ excess of signatures over the permitted three per cent, that the section 
 
 S 5, f 4. containing his signature has not been used or filed ; and he must be able to 
 swear in the statement required to be made by him, that he has complied 
 with this requirement. 
 
 NOMINATION PAPERS FOB NON-PARTISAN OFFICES. 
 
 8 5,113. Aspirants for nomination to non-partisan offices {i. e., judicial, school, 
 
 county, and township offices) proceed as outlined above except in the fol- 
 lowing particulars: first, the nomination paper (Form 9) may be signed 
 by any voter irrespective of party affiliation, and shall nowhere contain 
 
 § 5, 1 9. any reference to party ; second, the number of signatures required for 
 nomination is not less than one half of one per cent nor more than two per 
 cent of the total vote cast by all political parties at the last election in the 
 state or political subdivision thereof in which the candidate seeks nomina- 
 tion ; and third, that, although in the case of candidates for the supreme 
 court or district courts of appeal and for state superintendent of public 
 
 § 6, ! 1, 2. instruction nomination papers are to be filed with the secretary of state, all 
 other nomination papers for non-partisan offices shall be filed with the 
 county clerk or registrar of voters. 
 
 VERIFICATION DEPUTIES AND THEIR APPOINTMENT. 
 
 Having described the nomination paper by which the name of the can- 
 didate is placed upon the primary ballot, let us now discuss the verification 
 deputies, whose function it is to secure the signatures to such nomination 
 paper. As in the former instance we will first confine our attention to 
 those offices which are not non-partisan. 
 
 The first thing to be done by any candidate who seeks the nomination 
 of his party for any office will naturally be the selection of one or more 
 verification deputies to circulate his nomination paper for signatures. 
 5 5. J 2a. rpijg candidate accordingly signs a paper (Forms 4 and 5) appointing cer- 
 tain electors of a county as verification deputies to secure signatures in 
 such county to his nomination paper, and, at or before the time he files 
 his nomination paper, files these appointments with the county clerk to 
 indicate the authentic list of deputies. In case the office to which he seeks 
 nomination covers a district comprising more than one county, the candi- 
 date must repeat this process in each of the counties in which he desires 
 his nomination paper to be circulated and signed, since verification 
 deputies are allowed to secure signatures only in the county of their 
 residence. 
 
 There is an alternative method provided for the appointment of veri- 
 fication deputies, which, though it may be used in any case, is designed 
 primarily to be employed by friends or admirers of the candidate, who 
 belong to some party other than his own, and who wish to try to secure 
 for him the endorsement of their party, thus providing for him another 
 § 5, J 2b. party nomination in addition to the nomination he seeks in his own party. 
 By this alternative method the list of verification deputies is appointed, 
 5 5, J 3. and filed, and the sections of the nomination paper after being signed are 
 collected, arranged, and filed, not by the candidate, either personally or 
 through agents named or deputized by him, but by a self-appointed, inde- 
 pendent committee of five electors registered with the party to which belong 
 the friends of the candidate who are seeking to give him their party 
 endorsement. 
 
ANALYSIS OF DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 67 
 
 In order to safeguard a candidate of one party from being proposed §5, u 2b. 
 for a party endorsement which he does not want, and which, if secured, 
 might embarrass him in his own party, the law provides that the paper 
 in which the committee of five appoints its verification deputies {Forms 
 6 and 7) must contain a statement that they have secured the consent 
 of the candidate "to be thus proposed for nomination to such office." 
 There is nothing, however, to prevent the candidate coupling with this con- 
 sent a statement to the committee that the one nomination he is personally 
 seeking is that of his own party, and that, while he should appreciate the 
 honor of Voluntary endorsement by other parties, he himself shall take no 
 action toward securing such endorsement, either by circulating or filing 
 nomination papers or in any other manner. 
 
 Verification deputies appointed to circulate the nomination papers for 5 5- ^ 2a, 2b. 
 candidates for nomination to judicial, school, county or township offices 
 are named exactly as indicated above except that, in the paper in which 
 they are appointed, there is no reference whatever to any political party. 
 
 THE ARRANGEMENT AND FILING OF NOMINATION PAPERS. 
 
 After the verification deputies have concluded the obtaining of signa- 5 5' II 3. 
 tures to the nomination paper and attested their authenticity, the various 
 sections thereof must be returned — to the candidate, if he appointed the 
 verification deputies, or to some member of the committee of five, if the 
 deputies were appointed by the committee — to be arranged and filed by 
 the candidate or by the committee, as the case may be. The various sec- 
 tions shall first be numbered in order and fastened together by cities or § 5, j[ 4. 
 towns or the portion of the county outside of such cities and towns. An 
 index of precincts {Form 10) shall then be made for convenience of the 
 county clerk, in such a manner that, while he has before him the affidavits 
 of registration of any precinct of any city, he can by aid of the index at 
 once turn to and check the signature of every voter who is registered in 
 that particular precinct. At least forty days prior to the primary election, 
 the county clerk or registrar of voters receives the nomination paper with 
 its several sections and index properly arranged and bound. He then 
 compares the signature of each name upon the paper with the correspond- 
 ing signature on the original affidavit of registration in his office, noting 
 also, except in case of a candidate for a non-partisan office, whether the 
 voter who has signed a paper proposing the candidate for nomination in a 
 certain party has registered as affiliating with that same party. After 
 marking "not sufficient" and deducting from the total of names on the 
 nomination paper such names as do not meet the above requirements, the 
 county clerk or registrar shall prepare a certificate {Forms 12, 13 and 
 Uf ) showing the number of valid signatures on the nomination paper ; § 6, 1 1, 2. 
 and, in behalf of the candidate or the committee of five, as the case 
 may be, shall see that within five days after having been left for 
 examination all nomination papers for county or township offices and for 
 members of the county central committee are filed in his own office, and 
 that all other nomination papers are filed in the office of the secretary of 
 state. 
 
 THE FILING FEE. 
 
 A fee for filing nomination papers must be paid by each candidate for 5 7. 
 office, before his papers can be filed. In various subdivisions of section 7 
 the language indicates that no additional fee is required for the filing of 
 other nomination papers in the endorsement of the candidate. For county 
 offices, or for township offices having a- salary of over nine hundred dollars 
 per year, the fee is ten dollars and is paid to the county clerk. For minor 
 township offices, and for offices carrying no salary, there is no fee. For 
 all other offices, state, district, congressional and legislative, the fee is paid 
 
68 DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 
 
 to the secretary of state, and is as follows : state offices and United States 
 senator, fifty dollars ; district and congressional offices, twenty-five dollars ; 
 legislative offices (senate and assembly), ten dollars. 
 
 THE candidate's AFFIDAVIT. 
 
 5 5 J 4^ At least thirty-five days prior to the August primary election, the can- 
 
 didate shall file in the place where his nomination paper is required to be 
 filed, an affidavit (Form 11) stating his residence, election precinct, and 
 the office to which he aspires, with the additional statement that if nom- 
 inated he will accept such nomination, and that, if subsequently elected, 
 he will accept the office. This affidavit is entirely independent of any 
 nomination paper, v/hether such nomination paper is filed by the candi- 
 date for his own party, or by a committee for an endorsing party. 
 Accordingly only one affidavit shall be filed, even though the candidate 
 may be aware that friends in other parties are attempting to endorse his 
 candidacy by giving him their party nomination. 
 
 Inasmuch as the filing of nomination papers does not now have to be 
 done by the candidate or his agent, but, in the case of endorsed candidates, 
 
 5 5. 14. may be done by the "five electors," the language of the old law is changed 
 accordingly ; and the former provision, "each candidate shall file with his 
 nomination paper or papers his affidavit," has now, as indicated above, 
 been changed to, "each candidate shall file in the place where his nomina- 
 tion paper is required to be filed ... his affidavit," etc. This change 
 in wording emphasizes the fact, enlarged upon below, that the nomination 
 paper no longer is necessarily filed through the agency of the candidate. 
 
 RESTRICTIONS UPON CANDIDATES. 
 
 In the law of 1913 there has been retained from the law of 1911 the 
 5 5, ir 8. following language, found in subdivision 8 of section 5 of the present act : 
 
 '■ . . . a candidate who has filed nomination papers as one of the 
 candidates for nomination to any office on the ballots of any political 
 party at a primary election under the provisions of this act, and who is 
 defeated for such nomination, shall be ineligible for nomination to the 
 same office at the ensuing general election, either as an independent candi- 
 date or as the candidate of any other party." There are those who think 
 that the above inhibition violates in spirit the new provision also found 
 5 5. f 4. in section 5 of the present law, in the last sentence of subdivision 4 : 
 
 "Nothing in this act contained shall be construed to limit the rights of 
 any person to become the candidate of more than one political party for 
 the same office upon complying with the requirements of this act." 
 
 In any discussion of the operation of the primary law, a reconciling of 
 the apparent conflict between these two subdivisions of section 5 seems a 
 very important matter, since it will possibly play a rather prominent part 
 in a good many candidacies for minor offices under the law. Accordingly 
 let us go into this phase of our subject in rather full detail. In consid- 
 ering the seeming conflict between these two subdivisions of section 5, a 
 clear distinction must be recognized between, first, the man who loses his 
 own party nomination, and at the same time wins the endorsement of 
 another party ; and second, the man who wins the nomination of his own 
 party, but is not endorsed by some other party which has attempted to 
 endorse him. 
 
 AS TO THE CANDIDATE WHO LOSES IN HIS OWN PARTY. 
 
 In the first case, although future experience may prove, in view of this 
 
 new policy of permitting more than one nomination, that it will be wise 
 
 5 5. 18, to cut out this provision of subdivision 8, which would seem to compel the 
 
 candidate who has lost the nomination he sought in his own party also to 
 
 forfeit the nomination of an endorsing party, there are nevertheless good. 
 
ANALYSIS OP DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 69 
 
 logical reasons for such an inhibition. Very possibly, in fairness to the 
 opponent who has defeated him for nomination, there would seem to be 
 justice in the position, that the candidate, having failed in the party of his 
 choice for a nomination in which he has initiated proceedings and "filed 
 nomination papers," should be precluded from another chance at election 
 by running as the candidate of some other party against his successful 
 competitor in his own party. In a sense, the spirit of the primary as a 
 method of choosing party candidates would seem to be violated, if a can- 
 didate who had been turned down for nomination in his own party were 
 permitted to again enter the lists as an opponent to his party's nominee. , 
 
 AS TO THE CANDIDATE WHO WINS IN BOTH PARTIES. 
 
 Of course, it is understood that in case the candidate wins his own 
 party nomination, and also by either the endorsement or the "writing in" 
 process, gets the greatest number of votes in some other party, he shall be 
 considered as also nominated by this other party, provided that, in case he 
 secures this nomination by having his name written in, the number of 
 votes so "written in" is as great as the minimum number of nomination § 5, n 8. 
 papers which would have been required to place his name upon the ballots 
 of such party. 
 
 A candidate of one party, who is also nominated by another party by 
 having his name "written in," as outlined above, may withdraw as the 
 candidate of this second party, and the vacancy thus created shall pot be 
 filled by such party. Neither shall a vacancy be filled which has been § 25. 
 created when an endorsed or "written in" candidate fails to secure his 
 own party nomination, and thus, as outlined above, becomes ineligible as 
 the candidate of the party which has endeavored to make him its nominee 
 by endorsing or "writing in" his name. 
 
 AS TO THE CANDIDATE WHO WINS IN HIS OWN PARTY. 
 
 As to the second case, however, where a man is sufficiently popular in 
 his own party to win in it the nomination he has sought, must he, by the 
 provisions of subdivision 8, forfeit that nomination providing it transpires, 8 5. f 8. 
 after his friends in another party have sought their party's endorsement 
 of his candidacy, that this other party refuses to bestow such endorsement? 
 
 That such a technical construction of the law is contrary to its whole 5 5, j 4. 
 intent and spirit becomes at once apparent when it is reflected that, under 
 such construction, the failure of one party to give to the candidate of 
 another party an endorsement in which he has but a passive interest and 
 which he may have done nothing to secure, would not only deprive him 
 of the nomination he has won in his own party, but would also at the S 25, 
 same time, on account of the provisions of section 25, deprive his own 
 party of having any nominee at all. Even if it could be argued that the 
 candidate should be thus penalized for having consented that another 
 party should attempt to endorse him, it would at least seem contrary to 
 the spirit of the law that his party, which has had nothing to do with 
 his "consent," should be similarly penalized. 
 
 WHAT THE LAW REALLY PROVIDES. 
 
 However, an examination of the law shows that the ineligibility to 
 another party nomination is limited to "a candidate who has filed nomina- 
 tion /papers as" a candidate for a designated party nomination, and at the 5 5, I 8. 
 primary has been defeated for such party nomination. This ineligibility 
 requires two things : first, an act by the candidate himself — namely, the 
 filing of his nomination papers for a designated party nomination which 
 he seeks ; and second, his defeat for such nomination at the primary by 
 the members of such party. 
 
J 5, 18 
 
 70 DffiECT PRIMARY LAW. 
 
 8 5. 19. ^"^^ ineligibility — and such only — to other party nominations exists 
 
 fawoflgii ^° ^^^ present law. Such ineligibility also existed in the law of two 
 years ago. Thus, if a person takes the initiative and seeks a party nom- 
 ination under the first alternative method provided by the present law, by 
 § 5. f 2a. which he himself appoints his own verification deputies (subdivision 2a 
 8 5. II 3. of section 5) ; himself collects and arranges the sections of his nomination 
 jg^g paper for filing (subdivision 3 of section 5) ; and himself files such paper 
 
 (subdivision 8 of section 5) ; and then is defeated at the primary for such 
 nomination — he by such defeat becomes ineligible to any other party or 
 independent nomination. 
 
 It is clear, however, that none of these things takes place in the case 
 of a person proposed for endorsement in another party not his own, 
 through the action of a committee of five from such other party (subdi- 
 8 5. I 2b. vision 26 of section 5). This committee of five being self-constituted and 
 self-appointed, acts for itself and not as agent of the person whose endorse- 
 ment they propose. He but consents to accept an endorsement if others 
 secure it, and in no way becomes responsible for the filing of nomination 
 papers or for any other act performed toward the securing of such endorse- 
 ment. Hence the loss of such endorsement fails to come under the inhibi- 
 tion laid down in subdivision 8 of section 5, and should not deprive the 
 candidate of the nomination he has won in his own party. 
 
 It is, of course, true that the word "endorsement," as used above in 
 this analysis, does not occur in express terms anywhere in the primary 
 law. But it is none the less true that an endorsement is precisely what 
 will take place when any party nominates the candidate of another party, 
 since no candidate who seeks party nomination will attempt to pose as 
 belonging to two parties, or is apt to come out openly by taking the initia- 
 tive in attempting to secure the nomination of a party not his own, provid- 
 ing such other party has its own candidates for the office. 
 
 CERTIFICATION AND PUBLICATION OF CANDIDATES' NAMES. 
 
 S 10. At least thirty days prior to the August primary election the secre- 
 
 tary of state shall certify to the county clerk or registrar of voters of each 
 county the name, address and party of each state, district, congressional 
 or legislative candidate to be voted for in such county, except that all 
 judicial and school offices shall be certified without regard to party 
 
 89 10. 11. (I'orm 15). The county clerk or registrar shall thereupon publish these 
 names in the same general form {Form 16) as furnished by the secretary 
 of state, and shall add thereto a list of candidates for all county and town- 
 ship offices together with the statement that candidates for all non-partisan 
 offices may be voted for by any elector, whether he has, in registering, 
 declared his party affiliation or not. He shall also designate the location 
 of various polling places where the election will be held, together with 
 the date of the election and the hours of voting. Such publication shall 
 be made once each week for two successive weeks in not more than two 
 newspapers of the county. 
 
 ROTATION OF CANDIDATES' NAMES. 
 
 8 12, \ 7a. All candidates, except candidates for legislative or county offices, who 
 
 are to be voted on in more than one assembly district, shall have their 
 names so arranged upon the ballots in the various assembly districts, that 
 no candidate shall have the advantage of any other in the position of his 
 name. For example, each of four candidates for nomination for governor 
 shall have his name placed first in twenty assembly districts, second in 
 twenty others, third in twenty others, and last in the final twenty. 
 
 8 12. 1 7c. All candidates for legislative office, including candidates as delegate 
 
 to the state convention, shall have their names placed upon all ballots in 
 
ANALYSIS OF DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 71 
 
 alphabetical order. All candidates for county oflfice to be voted on through- 5 12, if 7b. 
 out the entire county have their names rotate by supervisorial districts 
 unless there are more than five assembly districts in the county, in which 
 case they rotate by assembly districts. 
 
 SAMPLE BALLOTS. 
 
 Sample ballots shall be sent by mail to all voters not less than five nor : 13. 
 more than ten days prior to the August primary election. Sample ballots 
 shall no longer be published by advertisement in newspapers. The sample 
 ballot to be sent to the various voters shall be in each case the ballot of 
 the party with which the voter, in registering, has declared himself aflSli- 
 ated. To those voters who declared no party affiliation, the sample ballot 
 sent shall contain only the names of candidates for the non-partisan offices. 
 
 THE PRIMARY ELECTION. 
 
 As already stated, the manner of preparing the ballots, of voting, and §§ 12-21. 
 of counting the votes in a primary election, as prescribed in sections 12 
 to 21 of this law, differs in no essential particular from that of a general 
 November election. As in the case of the general election, primary elec- 5 14. 
 tion polls are now open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., instead of from 6 a.m. to 
 G p.m. as formerly. 
 
 CANVASS OF VOTES AND RETURNS. 
 
 The board of supervisors of each county commence the canvass of votes 9 22. 
 at 1 p.m. of the second day after the election, or as soon thereafter as the 
 returns are all in. They must complete their canvass by the sixteenth day 
 after the election. As soon as the results are ascertained, the county clerk 
 must send a statement of such results to the secretary of state. The secre- 
 tary of state shall at once compile these results and file a statement of 
 them in his office. The county clerk shall likewise compile and file a 
 statement of the results of the election for county and township offices. 
 
 CERTIFICATIONS OF NOMINATION. 
 
 The board of canvassers shall issue certificates of nomination (Form 5 23. 
 17) to the successful candidates for nomination to county and township 
 offices — the two highest for each office except for a candidate who polls a 
 majority vote, in which case it is the one highest. The secretary of state 
 shall likewise issue certificates of nomination to the successful candidates 
 for nomination to all state, district, congressional and legislative offices 
 (Form 18). The secretary of state shall also, at least thirty days before 
 the November election, certify to each county clerk or registrar the names 
 of all state, district, congressional, and legislative nominees to be voted 
 for at such election by the voters of his county, showing in each case the 
 name of the political party or parties, if any, by which the candidate has 
 been nominated, and to what office {Form 20). 
 
 THE STATE CONVENTION. 
 
 In this act is embodied the "Wisconsin plan" for state conventions, a 5 24. 5 2. 
 plan which is briefly as follows : All nominees for state officers, if any, 
 except for judicial and school offices, and all legislative nominees, of each 
 party participating in the September primary, meet simultaneously in 
 separate party conventions, at the state capitol, on Tuesday, three weeks 
 after the primary election. To these are added twenty additional dele- 
 gates for each party, consisting of one delegate from each hold-over sena- 
 torial district, who shall have nomination papers circulated in his behalf, 
 shall have his name placed upon the ballot, and shall be elected and certi- 
 fied in the same manner as a state senator is nominated. 
 
72 DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 
 
 Each convention shall forthwith formulate its party platform, and all 
 platforms shall be made public at the same time. The wisdom is obvious 
 of having a platform framed by those who, if elected, are to carry out its 
 provisions. Each convention also selects its state central committee, not 
 less than three from each congressional district, and in "presidential years" 
 nominates its presidential electors (Form 19). 
 lli'h c ^^ *^^ event of a vacancy in the state convention of any political party, 
 
 provision is made for the filling of such vacancies by county central com- 
 mittees, or, in the case of a vacancy caused by lack of a nominee to a 
 state oflSce, by the state central committee. 
 
 THE COUNTY CENTBAL COMMITTEE. 
 
 S 24. 1 4, In the present law the old county convention is done away with ; and 
 
 the selection of the county central committee, which used to be the one 
 function of such convention, is now made by direct election of the mem- 
 bers thereof at the August primary election. These candidates for the 
 county central committee are placed upon the ballot by means of nomina- 
 tion papers, and are elected and certified in the same manner as county 
 ofl5cers are nominated and certified, except as to the non-partisan feature 
 of such offices — a party central committee being elected for each party. 
 
 In all counties containing more than five assembly districts this central 
 committee is chosen by assembly districts, there being elected from each 
 assembly district one member for each thousand or fraction thereof of the 
 party reg'stration as such registration appears on the first Monday of 
 June preceding the election. In all other counties the election is by 
 supervisorial districts and the apportionment is so arranged that the num- 
 ber from each district will vary for each party according to the strength 
 of the party registration for that district as it appears on the first 
 Monday of June. The county central committee in all except the three 
 largest counties of the state will according to these provisions consist of 
 from twenty to twenty-five members for each party, as appears by the 
 following illustration ; 
 
 Suppose the Democratic registration of a certain county on the first 
 Monday of June is 7,000, composed of 500 Democrats in the first super- 
 visorial district, 3,000 in the second, 1,000 in the third, 300 in the fourth 
 and 2,200 in the fifth. According to this provision of the law, the num- 
 ber in each of these districts is to be divided by one twentieth of the 
 entire Democratic registration for the county, or, in this case, by 350 ; 
 and the number of committeemen for each district is the integer, or whole 
 number, next larger than the quotient obtained by such division. This 
 vould produce, in the illustration here given, two Democratic committee- 
 men in the first district, nine in the second, three in the third, one in the 
 fourth, and seven in the fifth, or twenty-two in all. Similarly for each 
 of the other parties that may desire to select a county central committee. 
 524. J 4, This method of selecting party central committees, as well as the pro- 
 
 tli, I 7b. vision already outlined for rotation of candidates' names on the ballot, 
 will, in all but the three largest counties of the state, require a separate 
 and distinct ballot for each supervisorial district of the county. 
 
 TIE VOTES AND ELECTION CONTESTS. 
 
 5 26. Tie votes shall be determined by lot. Any candidate desiring to contest 
 
 the nomination of any other candidate for the same office may, within five 
 
 § 28. (ij^yg after the completion of the official canvass, institute proceedings for 
 
 a contest for the election. The various proceedings of such contest are 
 veiy fully and carefully worked out in this act, especial pains being taken 
 to so hasten these proceedings as to determine the contest in time for 
 correctly printing the ballots of the November election. 
 
ANALYSIS OF DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. 73 
 
 LEGITIMATE ELECTION EXPENSES. 
 
 A list of eleven classes of lawful election expenses is provided for in s 29. 
 this act, and no other kind of election or campaigning expenses shall be 
 permitted to candidates. No limit is set on expenditures of the candi- 
 date, provided the expenses are all as limited above and are all accounted 
 for and sworn to by the candidate in a detailed statement to be filed within 
 fifteen days after the primary election (Form 21). 
 
 Such statement shall also state in detail the sources of all moneys § 30. 
 received by the candidate in assisting his candidacy, together with the 
 amount expended by himself. All these statements of receipts and expendi- 
 tures shall be made a matter of public record. 
 
 Any candidate expending money unlawfully, or failing to make a true § 31. 
 and complete statement of his receipts and expenditures, shall not only be 
 guilty of a misdemeanor, but shall forfeit his office, if elected. 
 
 REPEAL OF FORMES ACT. 
 
 This direct primary law, though an amendment, section by section, of § 3G. 
 the primary law of 1911, and consequently in general form much like the 
 preceding act, is nevertheless in many vital features very different from 
 the former law, which law is accordingly expressly repealed by this act. 
 This law is also applicable to certain municipal elections, but these are so 
 infrequent, owing to the express election provisions of most city charters, 
 that no account is taken of them in the foregoing explanation.
