The Australian System.

The new election law was tried
at a recent special election in st.
Charles and the Cosmos pronounces
it a success, as the following in
dicates:
The new system has been prac-
tically tested in st. Charles, and 1t
worked admirably. The bummers
and the wire-pullers were con-
spicuous about the polls by their
absence, and altogether the i'm:
provement over the old method
was SO marked that it would take
much space to enumerate. So no.
ticeable was the improvement that
all the local papers and CORES.
pondents commented on it and
recommended the adoption of the
system all over the State.
The main improvement is that
the ignorant are not voted like cat
tie. AT least this was the expert
ment in st. Charles. In St. Louis
and the other large cities the re-
ports may not be SO favorable.
The new system was used here
at a special election in which poll
tics did not enter in any form. Ok
iron-side politicians and wire-pull
ers looked on and were compelled
to admit that it was a great i'm
provement.
