Careful observation BY reporters who spent
the day visiting polling places makes It safe to
assert that the so-called Australian ballot IL
not the secret ballot that its projectors declare
Tito be. For the most part. voters were ex-
ceedingly clumsy in folding their ballots.
They did not press down the ceases. but
handed them In so folded that It was very
easy for the inspector who received them. or.
indeed. any inspector who WA looking on. to
see tine contents. To be sure. the law says that
no inspector shall receive ballot so folded
that its import can be seen. but It was the
universal opinion Of politicians at the polls
yesterday that this requirement can never be
practically enforced. The testimony Of watch-
ers and distributors Of pastors, Republicans
and Democrats alike. was to the effect that It
was no difficult matter to determine what
ticket given voter deposited and among
those who say go Is that very practical Of prao-
