"by an act of Congress passed in 1871, can
didates for Congress must be voted for in
a separate ballot. Heretofore. it has been
customary to place the name of the candi-

chapter 71s, Laws U. 3. 1871, require the
Congressional ballot. to be separate and
distinct from all Others We have search
ed carefully for such law but find it not.
The only allusion we find to the matter is
the law declaring that all voting for Con-
gresham shall be by "written or printed
ballot" Guess the other was a canard. If
there is such law 1t is foolish one and
will cause great inconvenience.
