The New Ballot Inv

OF the new ballot law, and its first trial
in Burlington Tuesday, there is but one
opinion--it was an unqualified success.
Voting proceeded quietly and rapidly, and
there was very little difficulty experienced
on the part Of the voters i'll understanding
the new system. The expense of erecting
the booths, etc, was not worth considering
in view of the advantages gained by its
adoption 1t may safely be said that the
Australian ballot system in Vermont has
come to stay.
