This Difficulty Is Likely to Cause Ora,
Trouble To-Morrow

This Difficulty Is Likely to Cause Grave
Trouble To-Morrow
There is grave danger that great trouble
will result tomorrow in hundreds of pre-
cincts. owing to the email size of the bal
lot boxes. Chairman Moores has discov-
cred that there are thirty five precincts in
Marion county which Fave over $50 voters
It 10 well known that $50 Of the large State
ballots will fill the ordinary boxes provided
two years ago, when the ticket was small.
This is the first election at which the State
ballots contain the presidential electors.
which makes the ballot large and bulky
when folded. These precincts are the fol-
loving:
Precincts Nos. 1. 8, 8, Ia, Is. 10, "a 80 80, 35,
40 A. 43. IA, AZ, 40, 81, 90, 62, 63, Cd, 70, so,
Washington township No. 5. Wayne township
No. 5.
"Of these thirty.fve precincts" said
Chairman Moores. twenty eight are Re-
publican and seven are Democratic. In
two of then there have been larger boxes
made and there will be no trouble. The
county clerk has been informed of the
small size of the boxes but has done moth
ing. so far as / know. to provide larger
ones. The law makes the maximum num-
$50 and the poll shows it has been
violated in this county in thirty five pre-
cipcts. In one of the precincts there are
four hundred voters. The motive is plain.
when it 10 seen that the majority of such
cases are due to the increase of Republican
voters. The election boards have author
Ity. If. after they have organized. they
deem the box too small, to order another
one made. or provided In some way. Other
wise they will have to pile the ballots up
on the boxes or string them on a wire. to
keep them from becoming lost or exposed.
1t is of the greatest Importance that box
large enough TO hold the ballots be pro-
vided."
