ballots, by securing one ballot in place of
many.

wishes by the unauthorized issuance of
bogus tickets, a result which is only par
tally accomplished by our ''vignette
law
4. 1t leaves less money to be disbursed
by irresponsible committees.
j. Il breaks the power OF the boss sys-
tenn, by weakening the effect of fixing"
primaries and controlling conventions.
6. 1t enables any respectable body of
citizens to present u candidate represent
ing their views.

pendent voting.
6. 1t renders the bribery of voters un-
profitable.
