Several.other important amendments were
made by the last legislature in the election
laws. besides section one, which provides
that no person shall act as Inspector, who is
. candidate for Office at said election. This

who are renominated for Office, from acting
as inspectors in their ward or township.
Section IA as amended regulates the posi-
tion of the tickets on the ballot. The ticket
of the party having the greatest number of
votes in the county, at the preceding general

challengers at each place Of voting, they to

cannot read English and must have his
ballot marked, it must be marked for him
Ia the presence of the challenger of each
political party, by an inspector designated
by the board for that purpose, which mark
