C1OCK. land at The New Law Defective, Inasmuch as the Voters Ascertain Party Affiliations of A member of the legislature, who is familiar with all the discussions that occurred while the primary law was under discussion, is of the opin- ion that the arrangement, of the prlmay ballot, while technically legal, omits some details that are necessary in order that the voter may exercise the franchise intelligently. The purpose of the law was to make judicial and county offices only nonpartisan.

But for state, congressional, district and legislative offices there is no reason why the politics of the candidate should not have been print- ed on the ballot, In order that voters may support candidates of their own political faith, if they choose to do so. In many instances, as the names uo.v appear, voters cannot determine whether the candidate is a Democrat, Republican or Progressive. The date is too late for us to undertake to analyze the ticket for the Information of all parties, as we would have been glad to have done If our attention had been called to the omission sooner, but for the information of Democrats of Yolo county we have hastily complied a list of the candidates who havo consistently and unwaveringly affiliated with the Democratic party: GOVERNORS-VOTE ONE.
