A lengthy opinion has been handed
down by Attorney General Ellis in re-
gard to the township election in April.
| He says the tickets for supreme court
Justice and regents must be printed by
the state in accordance with the ballot

tickets can be printed in local Offices AS
heretofore. The inspectors at the gen
eral election being the same persons

the general ticket may be put in one
box, the local ticket in another and il
there should be other tickets they may
be placed in their respective boxes.
