Judge Warehouses;, decision be justified
for if the intent of the law of 1858 is a
secret ballot then it is clearly the
duty of the court TO give effect
TO that intent as far forth as posi-
bic. This was not done in the Wa
terville case. Marks at the right or lett
of Il candidates. name could not be inter-
preted AS an eFasura of a name , or as
the filing in Of name. To erase is to
scratch OF draw mark through. There
fore, we say. the only theory upen which
these marks could be held to be merely
"superfunus and harmless Marks"
without doing violence to the Bangor
decision, was that the, intent OF a secret
ballot, which was present in the law of
1891, is absent from the law of 1898.
I ct the only essential difference be-
tween the two laws SO far as provisions
for rendering the ballot secret are con-
cerned, is the erasure clause; and there
was in the original law a provision for
SLING names not printed on the ticket
that might easily have been used for
identifying purposes. Yet the Court held
that the intent of that law was to pre-
serve secresy and prevent Identification,
and gave it such construction as would
"etfectuate and not destroy It's purpose u
Because the new law contains an eras-
nre provision. which may be used as
cloak to identifying marks, is it neces-
sary or logical to assume that it does
not intend that the ballot shall be Sc
cret and to open the door to all sorts
of Identifying marks? Because it finds d
hole in the bottom of the law, why
should the court proceed to knock the
whole bottom out?

MARKING THE BALLOT.
An Interesting Opinion by Judge White
house.

In deciding the WateIville case in which
certain ballots were claimed to be defec-
tive. Judge Whitehouse gave the following
opinion:
1.-THE distinguishing feature of the act of
1891. known as the Australian Ballot Law,
was its careful provision for secret ballot
The leading provision of it was to give the
elector an opportunity to cast his vote in
know for what candidate he voted. and
thus 10 protect him against all improper
influences and ena BILE him to enjoy absolute
freedom from restraints and entire indie
