Mr. President:

Your Committee on Suffrage and Elections begs leave to report as follows:

1. That your Committee has thoroughly investigated and discussed the power of this Convention under the Enabling Act to provide that the officers be chosen at the first election of State and other officers shall be nominated by a direct primary.

2. That is is the opinion of your Committee that such a provision is within the power of this Convention.

3. That it is the opinion of your Committee that such direct primary should be required by this Convention, and that in such direct primary and the election following, provision should be made whereby an advisory vote of the people shall be taken upon candidates for United States Senators.

4. That as the working out of these measures in detail will involve much effort upon the part of some member or members of the Convention and will require considerable time, your Committee wishes first an expression of the opinion of this Convention upon the matters herein recommended.

Respectfully submitted,

ALBERT M. JONES,

Chairman.

We concur: Fred L. Ingraham, John P. Orme, Alfred Kinney, Sidney P. Osborn, Henry Lovin, John Langdon, James Scott, E. A. Tovrea, Lamar Cobb.
