TO AVOID DELAY.
All voters whose names are on the sup
Elemental register just issued should an
nounce their district and precinct in ac-
cordance with the above.
Those who have not changed their pre-
cINcJ residence since the last general cleo
ton, and all whose names are not on the
supplemental register, must announce
their district and precinct as it appears on
tie old register.
There VIII be two registers in use-the
Old and the new. Voters whose names
ere on both must 90 by the new or sup
Elemental one-all others by the old one
This is simple enough 10 understand, and
II voters will take the pains to follow this
q question the clerks Will be saved much
trouble, and there will be. less delay in
casting ballots.
SHOULD BE GUARDED AGAINST.
The law says the voter must fold his
ballot before leaving his booth. and the
Election Board Of each precinct should
see that this provision is enforced.
Those whose business it had been, un-
der the old ballot sastem, 10 purchase
votes, admit that the only way by which
they can beat the new law by holding
voters to their contract is by the latter eX-
ToSiug their ballots when they leave the
booths. This is done by putting on an
innocent air and assuming ignorance Of
The law.
The purchased voter wanders out Of
the booth with his ballot exposed to the
purchaser, who leans over the railing so
that he can see it. The voter pretends he
IS looking for place to deposit it, when
IN fact he IS simply convincing his boss
That he has marked the ballot as per con-
tract.
This trick was played at the school
election in December, and will be tried
again. Let the judges, therefore, be on
the lookout and prevent it.
