It also provides for the election of district members of state committees and members of ward and town committees at the pro- posed party primaries in April, as well as delegates to the state party conventions, instead of at the state primaries in September, as now.
It also provides for the election of delegates to national conven- tions (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 requires to be held on the last Tues- day in April (the same day proposed for the proposed party pri- maries).
It also provides for certain other new provisions of law and cer- tain changes in existing laws, relating to holding state conventions and party primaries, the number and election of delegates to state conventions, the number of members at large of a state committee, and other matters, which in more detail chiefly are as follows:
State conventions are to be composed solely of delegates elected at the party primaries, and the number is to be one from each ward and town and one additional for every fifteen hundred votes or major fraction thereof above the first fifteen hundred votes cast at the pre- ceeding state election in such ward or town for the political party candidate for Governor, instead of a number now fixed by the state committee of each party (not less than one from each ward or town) and certain members designated by existing law.
The time, for notice to the State Secretary by aldermen or se- lectmen of their determination to hold primaries by wards, precincts or groups of precincts, to be March 1, instead of August 1, as now.
The names of candidates for election for delegates to a state convention and for district members of a state committee to be ar- ranged individually by alphabet instead of in groups arranged by lot, as now.
Vacancies in the office of delegate to a state or national conven- tion not to be filled except in case of a tie vote, and then by delegates from the same district, within ten days, and if no other delegate or if not so filled, then by a state committee, rather than solely by the remaining members of the delegation; and statement of filling of such vacancy to be filed with the State Secretary.
Seating of delegates at state conventions to be in groups by senatorial districts, and order of business at said conventions defined.
Voting on candidates, by a convention, to be by roll call, if more than one candidate for the office, or by groups of delegates unless any member of such group objects.

The existing provisions as to preparation and filing of nomina- tion papers, objections to nominations, preparation, number, sub- stance, arrangement and form of ballots, hours during which polls shall be open, opening of ballot boxes, canvass and return of votes, return and certification of votes, now applicable to state primaries to be applicable to the proposed party primaries.
