The Australian Ballot System in Pennsylvania
T Philadelphia Press.


The reports from all over the State. and
the comments of the newspapers of both
PARTIES. show that the people are exceed
ingly well pleased with the new ballot sys-
TEN. The testimony on the subject is all
one way. While the law was vigorously
criticised before election, it is now as earn
estly praised in its general features by those
who were at first its most vigorous oppo-
nents.
1t certainly has taken with the people,
and that is all that is required to assure its
permanency. The average voter is well
pleased to be able to 90 to the polls without
being compelled to run the gauntlet of a
crowd of ticket peddlers and window book
men to have his every movement watched,
anil find no chance to fix his ticket without
the fact being known to number of by
standers He now escapes all this. He
takes the official ballot, makes it as he de-
sires to vote and casts it without danger of
having il exposed 10 anyone how he has
voted. 1t assures the independent action of
the citizen. and makes it certain that his
vote is his own.
The readiness with which the people gen
orally appear To have taken hold of the new
system must prove surprise to those who
had predicted its failure. There were sur
prisingIy few cases in which the voter
sought assistance in marking his ballot, and
the reports indicate that comparatively few
ballots were thrown ont as defective. The
calculation of those Who predicted that 20
per cent. of the ballots would be family has
not been realized. and very likely when all
the facts are known il will be found that
there has been no more ignorance or care
iessness displayed in handling the new bal
lot than in the case of the old ballot.
No doubt good deal of this pronounced
success with the system at its first trial Is
due to the energy displayed in every local
ity to familiarizc the voters with the
change. Facility will be gained by expert
euce from year TO year. The system re-
ceived It's severest trial at the late election.
Each parry ticket contained the names OF
thirty-two candidates for electors. which
