mont, the daring and half-fOrgotten Presi-
dental candidate, with whose name the
country once rang from end to
end. Old he is, but feeble not at
all. He carries his years with
a step AS sDringy and a form as straight as
they were when he carved pathway over
the Rocky Mountains to the new Ell Dorado,
nearly fifty years ago. His snowy white
hair and whiskers are as neatly kept as
were his blonde locks in the days when he
stole the heart of pretty Jesse Benton in
spite of her fathers protests.
General Fremont was born in Savannah,
Ca, January 81, 1913, was appointed pro-
lessor of mathematics in 1899, and Lieuten-
ant in the Typographical Corps. His jour-
ney across the Rocky Mountains in 1S43, his
candidacy for the Presidency in 1886, and
service in Missouri and Western Virginia in
the civil war, are so many chapters in
American history. He resigned his COM
mission in 1862. President Hayes appointed
Fremont Governor of Arizona in 1877.

A VERY SIMPLE WORK.

Now, 1t would be extremely difficult and
tedious to md and check the names of John
Smith, Allen Roe, Adam Bede and eighty
seven others in an unnumbered list Of $50
names, but to find and check the numbers

their consecutive order among $50 num-
bers, is very simple work of about three
minutes two minutes and thirty seconds

previously marked fac-simile, which the law
provides for publishing, as guide.
The voter viii have ten DAYS from the
hrst publication of the fac-simile ticket
within which to select his candidates and
mark their numbers.
The time everywhere allowed to each
voter Tor preparing his ticket under the
Australian law is ten minutes, and that
time would be ample in California. In
DEED, not one voter in ten would reouire
more than five minutes.
AN AID TO TIE ILLITERATE.
Again, the numbering Of the names and
blanks on each ballot in consecutive order.
as have suggested, would almost entirely
obyiate the objection that the Proposed law
would in many cases place the iIliterate
voter entirely at the mercy of election Off
GERS. Nearly all illiterate persons can
count, and most Of them know the meaning
Of the digits, and the dullest of those who
DO not understand them can learn them and
tlelr simple combinations in few hours,
if sufficiently sound mentally to vote intelIi'
gently under any circumstances.
Now, If the things to be found on the
ballot be printed names merely, the litter
ate voter will be obliged to depend entirely
upon the honesty of the election officer
called to assist MIN; but II the things to be
found and marked be numbers. or names
Indicated by numbers, he can within week
prepare himself to exercise the electiye
franchise without the risk of deception at
the hands of unworthy election officers"
1t is understood that the Young Mems

the ex-Judge is preparing for the Federated
