Leml Depart ment to Effect of Act Pro. hlbltlasj l's f Vehlelee to Draw Voters. (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, Aug. 4.-(Seclal.)-lJon C Van Deusen of Blair, well known news papar man and official of the Progressive Hepubllcan league of the atate. haa been called to task by various of hla party brethren In Washington county because a prtvate dtlsen of hla home town recently j ran an automobile 'bus all day when Don J and othera of hla cohorts were conducting a primary for the purpose of electing dele gates to a county convention, the conten tion being that thla proceeding; waa In vio lation of the Lee anti-conveyance law paaaed St the laat aeaaton of the Ugtala- ure. 80 thick and fast did the darta strike In the Blair man' territory over incidents connected with tha holding of that primary that at last In - desperation ha ensconced himself in hla sanctum and ground out tha following letter to Attorney General Martin: What Is your opinion about the law passed laat winter prohibiting carrying of voter to polls? Private rttlrrn hauled votera to polls In his auto all afternoon on primary day and said he had a right to, but, a candidate or committee could not run. or cause to be run, an auto, omnibus, etc. Is he hlght In thla or la the Intent of the law that the practice shall be stopped? It seems to me some word from you in the state papers would help solve this question for a good many peoplo. The head of the state's legal department being absent from his office when the com munication waa received, the two assistants ot the office, George W. Ayrea and Frank E. Edgerton, attack the provisions of the new enactment In an Informal way. Mr. Ayrea said bo believed the new law applied only to candldatea and political commltteea and said that he doubted if It would apply In such cases as that of the Blair primary conducted for the purpose of selecting dele gates to a county convention. latent Matt D Proved. . , Further he waa inclined to believe that a candidate might run a conveyance to a V'ce near the polls and haul therein vote era, without necessarily bringing down the law upon hla head. The fact remalna, said Mr. Ayrea, that It must be proven that the conveyance waa run "for the purpose of conveying votera to the polls." Nevertheless it Is conceded that the new law may still fall to remedy the evil at which it struck, namely, th habit of tak ing other disinterested voters to the polls. - I . .1.1 I 1 datea themselves or members of tha com mittees of any of the parties, become ao I'Hinvuu iu liiciii pany wiai may wain iu add votes bv convevlna cltlzpna to the place of balloting. Whether these can be gotten at through the medium of the new law 'Is a question in the minds of the state's legal advisers, and unless It Is proved that the same is done at the Insti gation of the aforesaid candidates or com mittees they believe such citlsens cannot be tquched by the new statute, ... The bill waa Introduced In a form far different than that finally adopted by tha legislature and approved by Governor Aid rich. : Its flrat draft mentioned "persons" Instead ot specifying "candidates" or "members of -commltteea" and furthermore atated that a candidate would be liable for the breaking of the law If auch con veyances "were run with his knowledge or consent or by his political associates without hla consent."- The state senate, when thla came up-In committee of the whole, however, deemed it too wide and took the stand that a to invalidating hla election by terming themselves his associates and , then run ning openly conveyances to take voters to the polls for the purpose ot casting their ballots for such candidate. "fhe bill aa It was passed and placed upon the statute book is as follows: Bee Hon 1. It shall be unlawful for any candidate or committee to run or cause to be run any conveyance for the purpose of conveying voters to the polls. Pro vided that nothing In this seotlon shall be construed to Interfere with conveying alck or disabled persons who are not able without assistance to attend the election. Section 2. Any violation of thla act ahall '.fee deemed a misdemeanor and upon con- Jl vlctlon be punished by tine in the sum of TMI or imprisonment in ine county Jan not lesa than thirty days.
