VOLUME CIX— NO. M BOYNTON URGES AMENDMENT OF ELECTION LAWS Senator Reports for Committee on Performance of Plat form Promises Direct Primary League's Orig- inal Proposals and Other Changes Favored GEORGE A. VAN SMITH Amendments of the direct primary; election law to make it conform to the bill originally introduced by the direct primary league • were proposed to. the legislative conference yester day by Senator Boynton of Orovllle, who will be president pro tern of the new senate. Senator Boynton, in behalf of his fpecial commlttpp, returned a report • covering the platform promises touch ing direct primary legislation, the Aus tralian ballot, the short ballot, non 1 partisan judiciaxy and the regulation .' of lobbyists. On the latter subject Sen ator Boynton submitted a digest of the ; Missouri law. but said that the last ' legislature did not need any such law and that ht believed the next could worry along without one. The woman's suffrage question "was : disposed of briefly by Senator C. W. Bell of Pasadena, who presented the draft of- a, proposed constitutional amendment, the particular feature of which was the elimination of the word "male" from the constitutional quali fication for the exercise of the duty of suffrage. BIIIKCT PIU3IARY PROPOSALS The exceptionally well considered re port on election laws returned by Sen ator A. E. Boynton for his committee wa sfull of cold comfort for those al leged direct primary champions who advocated the defeat of the direct pri mary bill two years ago unless it was made a nonpartisan measure. That report not only recommended that the legislature should return to the pro visions of the original bill touching the nomination of United States senators and the formation of platforms, but it I declared Tor a radical stiffening of the partisan- provisions of the measure if such {stiffening could be effected under I the constitution. The express "simplification" amend T ments recommended by the committee consisted chiefly of suggestions for a •reduced percentage of signatures for candidates' petitions, and placing limits upon the time in which petitions might be <-ircu!ated and consequently upon the duration of the campaign. * The short ballot report was comprised i in* the recommendation that the state printer, clerk of the supreme court and attorney general be . made appointive officers, and the confession that the committee, could not agree upon any others to be placed in the appointive _liFt. Constitutional amendments will necessary to take the clerk of the su preme court and the surveyor general out of the elective class. » Other recommendations submitted by vßoynton provided for the removal of ihf party circle from the general elec tion ballot, the pure Australian ballot, \u25a0-th^ rotation of candidates* names on the ballot, life tenure for judges, sub ject to recall, and three alternatives for securing tlie promised nonpartisan judiciary. One of these was the bar association advisory vote, which the commission did not favor. Another provided for a separate nonpartisan judiciary ballot and the third for non partisan judiciary section of -the pri- Imary ballot as employed in 'Washing ton. ngs| The set program of the conference s was finished shortly before 6 o'clock ! last night. It was announced by recog nized leaders of both houses that the organization caucuses* would be held In Sacramento Monday and it was sug gested that a senatorial caucus might be called for Monday. The extremely close fight for chief ! Vlerk of the house between Mallory and I Walker had reached the stage last night of" an understanding that if Walker won Mallory would be his as sistant and vice versa. The supporters of Ed Whyte of Sac- I ramento declared that he had taken the measure of Assembly Sergeant at Arms "Jack"' Stafford, but Stafford declared that lie had votes enough to nominate him in the caucus and veteran legisla tors were of the samem opinion. The Los Angeles contingent was vociferously confident that George Co narts of Los Angeles would be elected • sergeant at arms of the senate, and the San Francisco and Alameda county legislators were equally confident if r-s« demonstrative in their assertions of the success of Joseph L. Coughlin of Oakland, who was started the race b»"y. Senator Elect Tyrrell. I-ISSXEH SPEAKS FOR WORKS After a meeting of the Los Angeles delegation, held at the Palace last night, Meyer Lissner issued an Informal I statement to the press in which de clared his confidence in the election of John D. Works to the - United States senate '..with a showing of 75 votes on the first joint ballot and by a unani mous vote on the second. I.issner declined to go Into details explanatory of his astonishing state ment, which he declared was deemed by him to be an accurate forecast made on what "we know, of the situation.? Heinsisted that the Los Angeles wai a unit for Works, but refused to an- Fwer questions touching the attitude of individuals, saying, "We are not talking about individuals." He also said that the question of caucus had not been discussed. Questions directed at other members of the delegation were met with the direct information or equally effective intimation that only Llssner was au thorized to speak and his refusal to go Into details suggested that his state ment was made for the purpose of "throwing a scare."

They also denied thai there mould be any attempt to use any formal act of the party governing body as a club to force members of the legislature to vole con trary to the instructions given them by their constituents at: the primary election polls. Los A ngcles partisans of Judge Works not only used the name of the state central com- mittee yesterday, ~ but the name of Governor elect Hiram W . Johnson in an attempt to siting legislators from Spalding* to Works. The}) used the name. of V the governor elect coupled v>ith threats concerning the;disposalof places to be gtven^out by the re publican senate and assembly caucuses, in spite of the fact that Governor elect Johnson had ex pressly declared that he would take no part in such matters: BILLS FOR DIRECT LEGISLATION READ Senator Gates Explains Meas« ures for initiative/ Refer endum and Recall Two bills Involving amendment -to the state constitution for the perfec tion of direct legislation were read yesterday afternoon for the considera tion of the state central committee by Senator Lee C. Gates of Lbs An geles. The first dealt with the initia tive- and referendum, the second "with the. recall. Both bills were drawn up in detail, but were presented to the conference in brief form. ' With the Initiative and referendum it was explained that the . committee oh direct legislation had worked out provisions for giving the people of the state the power of legislation with out opening the door to the enfran chisement of special prlvileges;- With the recall bill the question arose as to the exemption of the ju diciary. It was stated by Senator Gates that the committee had not been In accord on that point, ; but .that a provision had been made, in the bill for such exemption. He expressed him self as against it. ' ' Discussion the : narose over the use of the . recall should three parties in the state attain an approximate"equal ity of strength, two parties uniting for the recall of the incumbent of the third. The idea was dismissed as im probable. -.-•..-'"-\u25a0 l/PILLION DOLLAR W REFORM SCHOOL Committee Favors 600 Acre Site for Institution for First Offenders An appropriation of $1,000,000 and the selection of a proper site of not" less than 600 acres for the establishment of a reformatory for first ', offenders 'were among the recommendations made yesterday by Judge Curtis D.
