snllot reform liz New York.


At the election in New York last
week constitutional amendment was
adopted separating the general from
the local elections. To those who are
familiar with the complications the
voters OF New York have been con-
fronted with in preparing their ballots
the necessity for the adoption OF the
amendment Is easily understood.
In the recent election, for instance,
there was a large number of candi-
dates for state, county and city offices
to be voted for, as we'll as number OF
questions to be rejected or accepted.
Each voter was, therefore, sobiiged to
take into the voting booth with him no
less than twenty-five different ballots,
from which he was to select eight, and
alter preparing them according to law,
deposit them in as many different bal.
lot-boxes, and place the discarded tickets
in ninth box.
Under such system even tho most
intelligent voters must have expert
enced a great deal Of trouble. 1t is re.
lated by the New York papers that
even Joseph Ii. CEoate, the brilliant
lawyer. was obliged to make three trips
from the voting stall 10 the election Of
ticers before he finally got his ballots
properly prepared. When n man OF
such attainmcnts could be placed un-
der such embarrassment it can DO i'm
agined what trouble the voters OF ordi-
nary intelligence, and tho ignorant
voters, had in preparing their ballots.
1t is remarkable that undor such cir.
cumstancos heavy vote was pottcd,
and that there were not many thou.
sands OF ballots found in thu boxes that
could not be counted because they were
not legally prepared. 1t is ALEC fact
worthy OF note that there werc fewer
mistakes OF this kind found in the pre-.
cincts in which the illlterato voters cast
their baIIota than in those where the
intelligent voters exercised tho right Of
suffrage. This is partly accounted Tor
BY the statement that in the iIliterate
districts tho ward bosses saw to it that
thelr followers were carefully instructed
IN advance in the complicated art OF
preparing tho ballots. They were
shown the difference in the appearance

"BLooDY BmDLEs" WAITE says wo.
man suffrage is failure, because the
women OF Colorado voted almost solidly
against him. This fact alone is n strong
argument in favor OF woman suffrage.
In voting against blatant anarchistic
demagogue for governor the women
showed more intelligent and patriotic
appreciation Of the power vested in
them than did thousands of the men
who voted in that state.

GREAT NEWS SERVICE.

I Tho Splendid Work of tho Associated
Press Election Night
The Associated Press Tuesday night
gathered and sent out the election re-
turns from New York city and state
with rapidly never before equalled.
The polls closed at 4 p. m. At Ia IN.
the total vote for mayor, governor and
recorder in New York city had been
tabulated. The complete tables ap-
peared Wednesday morning in every
newspaper in New Yc-k served by the
Associated Press. To make this posi-
BILE twenty-four local Western Union
wires were employed.
The Associated Press was compelled
to use the Commercial Cable company's
ocean cable in order to get news to and
from Boston. All the wires in New
England were down. News was cabIed
from Boston to Canso, Nova Scotia, and
thence by land lines through Canada
and New York state.-NeW York World.
The excellent press reports gave the
results in every state in the Union, with
explanation OF the conditions under
which the election was held. The
reader. therefore, knew yesterday morn
ing exactly what had happened. It was
the best report OF an election evergven.
No paper in the country could have sur
passed the Commercial Appeals ex.
hibit, and this will be shown on COM
parison. The grand result was achieved
after elaborate preparations, no expense
being spared to cover the entire field Of
local, state and national politics.
Memphis Commercial appeal
The rapidity in the gathering Of the
New York city and state election re-
turns, as reported by the Associated
Press last night, was never before
equaled in the history OF news organ
ization. The polia closed at o'clock.
The bulletin announcing the vote OF the
first election precinct on governor was
received at 5:l3 p. m. At 1902 a. IN. the
total vote Of New York city for gov.
ernor, mayor and recorder had been
tabulated, and the complete tables APP
peared in every morning paper in New
York city served By the Associated
Press. By contrast, no other paper
than those served by tho Associated
Press in New York city was able to
print the complete tabulated vote Of
New York city. In the Same manner
the result in Kings and Queens coun-
ties, with the exception of two election
districts, was complete on governor and
Congress. Twenty-four local Western
Union wires were employed to make
this possible. The returns from outside
OF New York and Kings counties, en-
bracing the detailed vote of $500 cleo
ton districts out OF 1850. were reported
before a. m, and from the remaining
districts careful estimates OF the plu-
raIities were sent, making possible
closely accurate showing for the entire
ticket-New York Evening Post.

Democratic tickets, go that, though
they could NO. read them, they could.
when they went into the voting stall,
identify them by comparison.
With such complicated machinery to
contend With, it Is no wonder that
thousands Of voters preferred to stay
away from the polls altogether, and 1t
is no wonder that those who did 20 did
not hesitate to vote for the constitu.
