The ballot officials at the secretary of
states office are just preparing for
another twenty days of hard work in
sending out the ballots to be used in the
coming presidential contest in Maine.
The sending out of the ballots for the
September election was most satisfae-
torilv done. Each of the 5l7 voting
precincts in the State received the first
sci of ballots seventy-two hours before
election AS the law prescrbcs, and hence
the duplicate set which is sent nj Il sep
crate time were not needed in any ease.
In the 1924 boxes sent out, only one err
ror was made and that was the sending
of part of the ballots for the town of
Waldoboro in the ward & package for
the city of Gardiner.
