Election Laws
Need Overhauling
The Texas election laws need
restudy and overhauling from
stem to stern, Attorney General
Price Daniel said in Austin today
! after concluding that the present
statues give him no authority to
make investigations or prosecu-
tions of alleged election irregular-
ities.
During the past ten days Daniel
and his assistants have been dig-
ging into the laws and court de-
cisions to see if the State's chief
legal officer has the power to in-
vestigate charges and counter-
charges made by friends of both
Senatorial candidates 1, y n d o n
Johnson and Coke Stevenson after
the August 28 run-off primary.
"Our conclusion is that the Leg-
i.-lature has vested exclusive au-
thority in the county and district
attorneys to investigate and pro-
secute alleged election law frauds
the same as criminal offenses.
The present laws leave the At-
torney General without authority
to art," Daniel said.
"This has been the consistent
conclusion of previous attorneys
general," Daniel added. "but on
account of the serious state-wide
importance of the recent com-
plaints from both sides we made a
complete restudy of the question
to be sure that we were doing
everything in our power to help
the people of Texas know if the
various charges and suspicions
are true or false and to prosecute
any who may be guilty."
"In my opinion, future legis-
lation should leave such prosecu-
tion for offenses committed in a
single county or district as a
primary duty of the lot-! county
or district attorney, but add a ppo.
vision that the Attorney General
shall step in if the local official®
fail or refuse to do their duty.
For offenses alleged on a state-
wide srale. it seems to me the
Attorney General should be given
authority to investigate and prose-
cute," the Attorney General said.
"But this is only one of the
many changes which have been
needed for a long time in our
Teva- election laws," Daniel .-aid.
"The majority of the present Jaws
were great improvements over
their predecessors when enacted
in 190T)-1919, but they now need
restudy and overhauling from
stem to stern.*'
The Attorney General says he
believes two of the most needed
changes are to rewrite arid put
some teeth into the campaign ex-
penditures law, and to withhold
announcement of election returns

by precincts and counties until all
the votes have been officially
counted, duly sworn to and filed
with the proper local officials.
Daniel's last proposal would
eliminate all unofficial returns
and reports. Election officials
would be required to count, swear
to, seal their returns and deliver
their boxes to the county clerk
within 48 hours (by Monday
night fifter a Saturday election)
and not divulge the count on any
race until after the official re-
turns are opened and canvassed
in public the following morning.
Under this plan no one would
know how any candidate stood
until after the returns from every
box had been certified and deliver,
cd. It would be too late then for a |
precinct to "find" or be suspected
of "finding" additional votes need-
ed by any candidate.
"This proposal infers no partic-
ular suspicion against either can-
didate nor any particular occur-
ence growing out of the recent
contest. It is to prevent what
both candidates at various times
alleged unlawful vote "finding"
and being "counted out" after
the unofficial returns came in.
There is no way now to distinguish
readily between honest corrections
and dishonest changes, if any."
Daniel said. "The unwarranted
suspicion and doubts cannot easily
be separated from the justified
complaints. In my opinion the only
way to restore faith and respect
to this particular phase of our
election procedure is to eliminate
completely the announcements of
returns until all have been offici-
ally filed and publicly opened in
each county.'
