vemtions, party primaries are established to be held on the last Tuesday in April.
Among other things, those state conventions may endorse candidates for offices to
be filled 8¥ all the voters, and to be voted upon at the state primaries? .Such ~
endorsement places a c~ndidate in nomination, at such state primaries, without the
necessity of filing nomination papers. The name of the endorsed candidate is to be
placed first oa the ballot and against hie name is to be placed the words "Endorsed
by (the name of policital party) convention" in addition to the eight-word statement
now authorized by law. Candidates endorsed by a party convention may accept said
endorsement within ten days, and having so accepted may not withdraw.

and members of ward and town committees at the proposed party primaries in April, as
well as delegates to the state.party conveations, instead of at ~he state primaries
in September, as now.
I~ also provides for the election of delegates to national conventions
(to nominate candidates for President) at the proposed party primaries instead of at
the primaries, now specially held for that purpose, and which existing law reqmires
to be held on the last Tuesday in April (the same day proposed for the proposed
party primaries).
It also provides for certain other new provisions of law and certain
changes in existing laws, relating to holding state conventions and party primaries,
the number and election 'of dele$~tes to state conventions, the'number of members

for every fifteen hundred votes or major fraction thereof above the first fifteen
hundred ~otes cast at the preceding state election in such ward or town for the
p~litical party candidate for Governor, instead of a number now fixed ~y tho state
committee of each party (not less than oeo from each ward or town) and certain members
210
designated by exiuting law.
The time, for notice to the State Secretary by aldermen or selectmen of their
determination to hold pti.mafias by wards, precincts or groups of precincts, to be March
instead of August 1, as now.

for district members of a state committee to be arranged individually by alphabet
instead of in groups arranged by lot as now.
