A Word to Town Clerks


We wish to urge upon town clerks the great i'm
portance of absolute correctness in making up the
election returns that every man who casts vote
may have it counted returned and recorded for the
candidate of his choice without its being lost by
the careessness or negligence Of those whose duty
it is to make up the return.
In close election erroneous returns from a sim
gle town may change entirely the result. Hence the
necessity that those en- rusted with the making up
of the returns should do their work carefully and
correctly. Under the various amendments o the
election alws an opportunity is afforded to have er
roneous returns, when discovered to be erroneous,
corrected by the substitution of corrected returns
in the case of most officers voted for, but this
qures time and expense, if all the errors are
discovered This, however, does not apply to the
vote for Governor as there is no provision of law
by which the returns of the Gubernatorial vote can
be corrected and returns of that vote NUT stand
as reported by the town clerks and seectmen il
their official returns. These officers therefore, in
view of the proper discharge of the highly import
ant duties devolving upon them should take every
possible precaution against error, and to do this
they should first study carefully the laws governing
their action next read carefully the instructions
upon the blanks sent out from the Office of the Sec
rotary of State and follow them infinitely In writ
ing out the names of the candidates voted for, nc
one should rely upon his recollection OF the name
OF any candidate but should copy it exactly, wheth
er in full or by initials, a. it reads upon the ballot
cast. In addition to this the following rules should
be rigidly observed: Iusert in the spaces left for
them the name of the town and county. Insert the
whole number of ballots given for each office, and
the number OF votes for each candidate plainly writ
ten, and the name correctly spelled. The returns
should be true copy OF the records and signed by
the Sc ectmen and clerks and sealed up in open
town meeting.
BY careful observance of the foregoing hints
town officers will not only give correct and safe
of votes cast, but greatly assist those, whose
duty it is to canvass and tabulate the returns.
Some suggestions similar to the above were pub

the result of the increased carefulness of those tc
whom they given the return for that yeal
