COUxTzN:a THE VOTE.
Why Nat Adopt she New York
Plan


PLAN.
The election laws Of Nevada are
almost perfect There is one seri-
Gus defect, however. 1t takes a
long time to count the vote, and
people are anxious aud unsettled
until the result is known. In New
York city there are 207 900 votes
cast, and tbey were counted go that
the result was known on this coast
the day following the election.
The way the New Workers. do is to
have two ballot boxes and two sets
of judges in each precinct. One
set Of judges receive the ballots,
and, when sufficient number is
cast, they exchange ballot boxes,
and the other set of officers 90 to
work on the count. The counting
aud voting proceed at the same
time, aud there is no delay aud
very little additional expense. II
is For the best Interests of business
and society that election results
should be known as soon as posi-
Die. We hope our election laws
may receive this amendment
There is no additional expense
in the New York plan. The same
work has t. be paid tor whether done
by one set of officers or by two, or
six. lt costs no more to hire two
sets of officers for one day than it
does to hire one set for TWO days.
The change suggested was agitateG
in San Francisco during the late
election by Judge Farrell, who was
a candidate for Senator He was
defeated. bus notion that issue. We
hope the New York plan will be es
tablished for Nevada, and We think
the press should urge that plan.
The count in Carson City this
year was the slowe>t eyer known.
The clerks sat in front Of an im-
mense tally sheet four feet square.
and the names on the tally sheet |
were not written in tie same order
as the printed tickets. A Judge
would drawl ont, &C. G. Stevenson
one vote &C. c Stevenson one
vote would cume back from the
clerk who made a mark. Then
would come some scratches and |
the clerks would look all over the
sheet for the name tt make the
mark. Stevenson one, would
have conveyed the same impression
tn the clerk as drawing out the
whole name and adding the I'M
nc cesary word VOTE.
The better way ut counting the
returns is tn cou,,t the Governors
first, then the Lieutenant Govern
ors, and so on. Getting through
one before another is touched. In
this way the clerk hand is always
at the end of the Inc where it be
longs and there is no wandering
over the sheet for name. The
vote was never faster counted than
when Bob Hufcr and Otto Greet
hood were election clerks.
