The Special Constable featuer.

II has been suggested that the Walton
law would be improved by having at
each voting precinct two constapleS. rep
resenting different parties, instead Of one
cons table. representing only one party.
We do not think the law requires i'm
prOvement so much IN the constable Tea
ture as it does in the canvassinS OF the
votes after they have been east. and
before they are counted. That IS the time
the law should provide for the presence
al this canvass OF a representative OF
each party TO the contest dppolnted by
the parties themselves. Amend the wal
ton law I'm this respect and IT VIII be a
fair election law. and the people OF the
state will cheerfully vote under II.
Another good amendment would be 20
