Abolition of the straight-line party setup on voting machines Is among the leading proposal made in the program. The Union announcement urged that the voting machine arrangement be changed so that no party has a straight line listing of candidates, which would "make it necessary for the voter to see the names of the Individual candidates for whom' he votes." "The crying need for the change." the Union declared, "was emphasized by the election of Judge Aurelio (former Magistrate Thomas A.

Aurelio) to the Supreme Court at the last election in spite of his confessed obligations end allegiance to a leading racketeer. Even though both the major parties sought to repudiate their nominations of Aurelio and to persuade their adherents to vote for other candidates, scsjjnany people had been trained to vote a straight ticket without even looking at the Individual candidates that he was elected, anyway." The program also calls for designation of candidates by party committees during a period preceding the regular petition designation time; simplification of petition nomination procedure, denial of power to boards of elections to throw out without court authorization any petition which appears to have the correct number of signatures, permanent personal registration, qualifying examinations for all election Inspectors, fingerprinting of such inspectors, designation of a central counting location and amendment of election laws to require taking of signatures of voters at every election throughout the State.
