votes were poled at the rate Of one per minute Il
would require twenty hours for 300 voters TO de-
posit their ballots. Unless this 10 remedied By
the establishment Of additional precincts In the
county, the correspondent fears that not half tho
voting population In each precinct will be able 20
exercise the right Of suffrage. He calls attention
also 10 the fact that whiie the 9th district pays
about ne-third Of all the county taxes, and con.
tains nearly one-fourth Of the total number ofreg
istsred voters, Il has larger representation upon
the Executive Committees and In the county con-
