 -On the whole the. new secret ballot system was acceptable to majority of voters, and worked well. Only two mis- takes were made-one unsealed ballot, and one defaced. One empty envelope was put in the box, but it was probably done ''for fun."
 One good thing at least results from the new mode of voting: Men can vote, and then, instead, of loitering around, can go home and attend to their business.
