No. 4
TIE THIRTEEN
The special election that will be
held throughout the State, Tuesday,
September 6th, for the purpose ^f
making amendments to the present
constitution, is creating little interest, because a majority of the voters
do not realize that fhe election is so
close at hand. The same rules that
apply to a regular election will apply
at this one and the polls will open
from six o'clock in the- morning until
six o'clock in the evening.
The ballots are to be furnished by
the state and the present laws will
be printed on the ballof with a small
square opposite so that the voter can
have the privilege of voting no in
this square, and the proposed amendment will have anoth.r square opposite it so that you Can vote yes, if
you prefer the new law.
The women voters will vote on the
proposed   amendments   the   same   as
the men.
QUALIFICATIONS   FOR  SUFFRAGE
Present Provision of Constitution
ARTICLES II, SECTION 2. In all
elections not) otherwise provided for
by this Constitution, every male citizen of the United States, of the age
of twenty-one velars land upwards,
who shall have resided in the State
during the six months and in the
township sixty days, and in the ward
or precinct thirty days immediately
preceding such election; and every
male of foreign birth, of the age of
twenty-one years and upwards, who

and in the township sixty days, and
in the ward or precinct thirty days,
immediately preceding such election,
and shall have declared his intention
to become a citizen of the United
States, conformably to the laws of
the United States on the subject of
naturalization, shall be entitled to
vote in the township or precinct
where he may reside, if he shall have
been ,d\<ly Registered according to
law.
Proposed Amendment
ARTICLE II, SECTION 2V In all
elections not otherwise provided • for
by this Constitution, every citizen of
the United States, of the age of twenty-one years and upwards, who shall
have resided in the state during the
six months, and in the township sixty
days, and in the ward or precinct
thirty days immediately preceding
such election, shaill be entitled to vote
in the township or" precinct where he
or she may reside.
The purposes of this amendment
are to prohibit foreign born persons
from voting until they are fully naturalized under the laws of the United
States, to confer the right of suffrage
on women, and to eliminate registration as a qualification for suffrage.
REGISTRATION OF' VOTERS
Present Provision
ARTICLE II, SECTION 14. All
general elections shall be held on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November; but township ejections
may be held at such a time as may
be provided by law: Provided, That
the General Assembly may provide
by law for the election of all judges
of courts and general or (appelate
jurisdiction, by an election to be held
for such officers only, at which time
no other officer shall be voted for;
and may also provide for the registration of all persons entitled to vote.
Proposed   Amendment.
In providing for the registration of
persons entitled to vote, the General
Assembly shall have power to classify the several counties, township§,
cities and towns of the state into
classes, and to enact laws prescribing a uniform method of registration
in any or all of such classes.
The proposed amendment will authorize the legislature to enact registration of all voters in the larger
cities and counties, and a permanent
registration in the rural districts and
towns. The adoption of this amendment will effect the saving of a considerable amount of public money and
will render it unecessary for voters
to register in rural districts.
VETOxOF ITEMS  IN
APPROPRIATION   BILLS.
Present Provision
ARTICLE V, SECTION 14. Every
bill which sha$ have passed the General Assembly shall be presented to
the Governor; if he approve, he shall
Sign it, but if not, he shall return it,
with his objections, to the house in
which is shall have originated, which
house shall enter the objections at
large upon its journals, and proceed
to reconsider the bill. If, after such
reconsideration, a majority ,of all the
members elected to that house shall
agree to pass the bill, it shall be sent,
with the Governor's objections, to the
other house, by which it shall likewise, be reconsidered, and, if approved by a majority of all the members
elected to that house, it shall be a law.
If any bill shall not be returned by
the Governor within three- days, Sundays excepted, after it shalil have
been presented to him, it shall be a
law without his signature, unless the
general adjournment shall prevent
its return, in which case it shall be
a law, unless the Governor, within
five days next after such adjournment, shall file such a bill, with his
objections thereto, in the office of the
Secretary of State, who shall lay the
same before the General Assembly
at its next session in like manner- as
if it had been returned by the^ Governor. But no bill shall be presented
to the Governor within two days next
previous to the final adjournment of
the General Assembly.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT
The Governor shall have power to
approve or disapprove any item or
items of any bill making, appropriations of money, embracing distinct
items, and the part or parts of the
bill approved shall be the law, and
the item or items of appropriation
disapproved shall be void unless repassed according to the rules and
limitations prescribed in this section
for the passage of bills over the executive veto. In case the Governor
shall disapprove any item or items
of any bill making appropriations of
money, he shall append to the bill,
at the time of signing it, a statement
of the item or items which he declines to approve, together with his
reasons therefor. If the General Assembly be in session, the Governor
shall transmit to the house in which
the bill shall have originated a copy
of each of such items separately, together with his objections appended
to each of such items, and the item
or items so objected to shall be separately reconsidered in the same
manner as bills which have been
passed by the General Assembly and
disapproved by the Governor, and if
on reconsideration such items or any
of them shaijl be approved by a majority of all the members elected to each
house, the same shall be a part of the
law notwithstanding the objections of
the governor.
The proposed amendment authorizes the governor to veto items in appropriation bills, to report his objections back to the legislature if still
in session, and authorizes the legislature to pass the items^ over the governor's veto by a majority vote of each
house in the same manner as other
bills. If the legislature has already
adjourned, the items which the governor vetoes are null and void. .

voters thereof at the time of holding general elections a clerk of the
circuit court, auditor, recorder, treasurer, sheriff, and coroner, who shall
severally hold ^heir offices for four
years; and no person shall be eligible to either of said offices for
more than four years in any period
of eight years.
The proposed amendment fixes the
terms of all county officers at 4 years,
provides that they cannot succeed
themselves, and removes the county
surveyor from the list of constitutional officers. The three questions to be
determined in voting on this amendment are as follows: (1) Should the
terms of all county officers be fixed at
4 years? (2) Should county officers
be eligible to succeed themselves, or
