tive to their Appointment
The recent legislature enacted sew
eral changes in the method of conduct
ing elections. The changes affect the
judges and clerks of election more
than the voter, anG are as follows:
1t was customary for clerks oftown-
ships and municipalities to certify to
the deputy supervisors Of election the
names, addresses, politics and pre-
cincts ofall persons entitled, ex-officio,
to be judges and clerks of election.
This rule has been abrogated. 1t is
now compulsory for the deputy su-
pervisors of election for each county
to appoint four judges and two clerks
Of election who are residents of the
precinct, and who shall constitute
election officers of such precinct. The
deputy supervisors shall designate
one Judge in each precinct, who shall
be selected from the dominant party
in such precinct to act as presiding
judge. The terms of the judges and
clerks shall cease and terminate at
the end of one year from the date of
their appointment, at which time,
and annually thereafter, their sue
cessors. shall be appointed for a SINH
lar term of office, agreeable to the
provisions of this act Not more than
two judges and not more than one
clerk shall belong to the same politi-
cal party.
1t is further provided that no regu-
lar nominee for Office shall, under any
circumstances, be permitted to act as
Judge or clerk of election. 1t was
was also customary, erthe old law,
for councilmen to act as judges in city
elections. This is done away with,
and, as stated in the foregoing, the
deputy supervisors of elections have
the solepo os selecting judges and
clerks.
The above are the principal changes
made, and anyone desiring to famil-
iarize himself more fully regarding
the changes made can call on or ad-
dress Fred. Printiss, Chief Deputy,
of this city, or d. G. Brown, clerk Of
the Henry county Board of Deputy
State Supervisors of elections, and

changes made.
