recommend that all laws relating to ell.
EDITIONS BIO repealed, and that one DO on
acted dispensing with the Objectionable
features of the present election code.
A careful analysis Of the present law
will show that it was conducted for the
purpose Of giving the fullest expression
to the will of the voter. The police jury
fixes tho polling places and appoints tue
Clerk of the Commissioners, the Return
ing Officer, tho Commissioners, and no is
required to make a return certificate to as
corresponding with the returns filed by
the Commissioners in the Clerks Office.
One of the Commissioners must belong to
tho opposing political party, and the
Clerk of Registration is selected from the
same party. The woe must be counted
at the polling place in the presence Of
"auy voter or voters who desire to wit.
ness the count. 1t is impossible for n
fraud to be committed without detection.
The Objectionable feature is in requiring
per upon which the names OF candidates
must be printed. The object of this pHo
vision was to prevent the disclosing OF
the manner in which the voter cast his
ballot. But the system does not meet
with popular approval, and / therefore
suggest that law be enacted giving the
fullest opportunity for the expression OF
the wishes ofthe majority.
But no election law, however carefully
framed, can give this expression without
an intelligent exercise of the right of suf-
frage. That many of our best citizens
who have sIven thought AID attention to
public affairs are practically DISTINGUISHED
