A Violent Header

a young Portland wheelman named r. M
Brown, who works at Ficketps paint store
had bad fall at Precumpscot park vector'
day forenoon. He was riding an ordinarv
wheel making fast time around the track, in
training for the coming races. When at tho
height of speed he suddenly took a header
and was thrown violently to the hard track.
He struck on his forehead and was insen-
sible for some time. His forehead and face
are badly bruised, but aside from general
shaking up no other injury was sustained.

NEW BALLOT-REFORM BILLS.

After the Sayton bill what? The author OF
that measure and other members of the Legs
lature who have been active in promoting bal
lot-rcfoIm legislation arc still ANXIOUS TO Sc
cure. if possible. the passage OF some Dill Ill
the interest of pure and honest elections. lh'S
i a public-SpIitcd attitude. These legislators
have no axes to grind; they have no priuc u
opinion to nurse All that they aim at IS 10
nIaco unon the statute books law absolutely
non-partsan in its provisions which snail cure
the claring evils which our present electoral
system has developed.
Two Ballot Reform bills have been prepared
since tho Governor sent in his veto. MI san
TON has carefully revised and amended Ms
original bill with the hopc-a forlon one 10
must bc-of commenting it to the Governor.
This second measure certainly meets TWO
&c the main points made in the veto. 1he
Govornor argued that the bill which he
killed was an invasion of the IN
aIicnahlc rights of the iltcratc voter. Mr.
eavton does not agree with him; ncycrthc-
less his new hill provides that an ilIlterate
voter NAV take Il friend with him INTO the
votinc-hooih where the official ballots nave
Lcon placnd and avail himself OF his assistance
in prcparing his vote. But in order that TINS
,.,; uo,o may NOT be abused the bill further
nroyidcs that every illiteratc voter shall make
oath establishing his illtcracy. The Governor
also hold in hi. veto that the bill, SO far as 1t
provided for minority representation III 'ne
election Of ballot-ccrhs was unconstitutional
The now bill meets the objection. II Is scarce
Is necessary to add that Mr. SaNton does not
surrender the exclusive official ballot. In com
mon with nearly every intelligent champion Of
ballot reform he believes that the exclusive
official ballot is nm absolutely necessary part
Of the reform that without 1t there can De
no pr-lcticI reform of the sort OF any APP
prcciahlc account
The other new bill has been introduced in
the Assembly by Mr.. Ackcr. II contains Il
number of admirable provisions, but the TACT
that it doe, not prohibit the use OF unoillclai
ballot, is one which is likely to cause iis de-
feat. The debate upon it few days as"
showed that Mr. Shcchan took kindly to H.
and that circumstance may well cause hepub-
lcans 10 view it with suspicion. since tho leader
of The minority has no love for ballot reform
