compo-l tons. Bat We must be careful
not 20 take to3 much leeway in this TO

The "Compromlse" Ballot Reform Bill
Amended and Adopted at Albany.
ALBANY, April 23.-In the senate the
compromise ballot reform bill came up

Mr. Saxton proposed TO amend the bill by
striking out the ''pasterH clause. He was
then accused Of bad faith by th aA)emocrats.
Mr. Saxtons proposition was then for
mally put before the senate. It was carried
by strict party vote. Mr.. Saxt0n imme-
diately offered another amendment, per-
mitting physically disabled voter to take
a friend into the booth with him, and an
illiterate voter to be accompanied by an
election officer. This makes the section
read precisely as it read in the vetoed bill;
excepting that now voter who swears
falsely as to his disabilities is 10 be deemed
guilty OF perjury.
The amendment was adopted; also an
other, providing that emo name written or
pasted on the ballot shall be deemed the
choice Of the voter. Notwithstanding the
name Of the candidate for the same Office
shall be covered by such writing or paster.n
MFR. Cantor moved to recommit the bin to
the committee on general laws, with in
structions to report forthwith the un-
amended bill. This ohliging proposition
was voted down. The bill was formally
