REMEDIES FOR FRAUDULENT VOTING
Ihere are Two measures suggested as
remedies. One of them is that obvious
means of relief, registry law. 1t has
many considerations to recommend it.
Ii honestly carried out, it would secure
90 orderly and fair election. It's pro.
visions can be evaded, of course, but
only by Il great deal of caro- and good
management. The mere fuct that
every voters name is set down before
hand, with the place of his residence,
and that he comes forward and votes
and ia checked off the roll, affords
great deal OF security. It is only by
hiling the registry with false names
and residences, as we'll as procuring
repeaters to personate the fictitious
citizens. that the frand can be accom-
plished. Suoh a complicated pieco of
rasoality ought to be very easy to de-
tect, and has not been carried out sue
oesstelly In very many places Perhaps
the election of 1872 in Philadelphia
offers the worst example Of the break
ing down OF the registry known in our
political history. The argument
against registry law in Indiana, how
ever, is the argument from expert
enco. and that certainly is not on eusy
one to meet. It is urged that the law
has been tried aud found to be fail
nre. The second measure proposed
has so many advantages connected
with it, and affords grounds for SO few
objections, that probably no one would
think of opposing it's adoption. 1t is
merely the reduction of the voting
precincts t.. reasonable limits. With
smaller precincts. the presence Of re-
peaters could be more readily detected,
and the votes coud be counted on the
evening of election before the public
attention was wearied, and before any
of the judges wero exhausted with pro-
tracted wakefuiness.
