The Ballot Law.
The Report (Prof. Jayne J

The Report (Prof. Jayne.)
One of the most UNNECESSARY laws ever
passed was the one regulating the ballot,
its size and marks on it Done with the
alleged purpose OF preventing fraud, il has
subjected the Democratic party to the ac-
ousation that it was for the express purpose
of securing it. As for this matter, all work
under the same law, aud il is as easy for
one party to manipulate it as the other.
Still it does seem 70 make the temptation
much greater 70 allege improper ballots.
The fewer restrictions upon the kind Of ball
lot, the better; and these should be natural
and necessary. Il ought to Be impossible
for a man to forfeit his franchise by inad-
vertency. If two names are found for the
same Office even, the whole ballot should
not be thrown away, for this must not be
supposed an Intentional error. Neither
name should be counted simply from the
impossibility to indicate the choice Of the
voter, but the rest Of the ballot should Be
entitled 10 due consideration. Every law
that is not useful aud does not 40 some real
good should be repealed, This one * not
only useless, but breeds a great deal 81
trouble. BY al means let the present Leg
islatnre repeal Il.
