The Australian Election Law,

The city election under the Austria
liam ballot system will take place
April 9th. The new law appears, il
many respects, 10 be a species o.
legislative patchwork. yet it is the law
notwithstanding its real or apparent
incongruities.
The question is frequently asked,
can an elector or voter lawfully vote
for any n whose name is not Oh
the ballot furnished by the clerk?
Assuming that all nominations have
been made, and that 10 other nomi'
nations under the law can be made
by reason OF the time having expired
TO file same with the County Clerk
we will have at the polls the ballot
made by the clerk with all those
nominations grouped on it in the
shape Of separate tickets, and "Under
meath the name of each Candidate
shall he left a blank space large
enough to contain a ,rriifen name"
See section 4773 as amended, session
acts 1891, pa sc 1S4.
Ballots ether than those prepared
by the County Clerk shall not be cast
or counted in any election. See scc-
tien 4772 Rev. Stat. 1889.
1t will be seen by the above tia;
only the ballot prepared by the clerk
can be used, but OIL that ballot is
blank space enough to contain a
rriiten name. Evidently the law
makers intended TO preserve the in
alicnablc right of the eicctor to
scratch al HJiiSm.
But let us go a step further: In
section 41SI rs amended, see session
acts 1891 page l35, it is provided that
on receipt of his ballot the elector
shall forthwith and without leaving
the polling placc retire alsnc to one
of the booths, etc, ito prepare his
ballot" by crossing out the groups he
docs not wish to vote: and then make
all changes on one group by striking
out The name or names of candidates
he does not tcish to rote for, and
,cTite the names Of has choice Wnder-
meath SO that the remaining part shall
express his vote on the question sub.
mitt ed" lie shall then vote before
leaving the polling place.
Tho right to scratch or substitute
names ON the ballot and write the
names of his choice underneath il
clearly set forth; thus giving the
elector the brosdest possible liberty
He is not limited TO the names OF
those nominated by conventions or
electors, but may vote for any one
possessing the requisite qualifications
not nominated. If otherwise, the
nomination by conventions or by
electors would be, in some cases,
equivalent to an election, and such 8
construction would be clearly in con.
traventioa of Section 9, of Article 2
OF the constitution of the State, which
declares that all elections shall be. free
and open, and no power, civil or
military, shall at any time interfere
10 prereat the free exercise Of the right
Of suffrage.
