The Milwaukee Sentinel urges that tho
polls on IN election day Be closed at
O'Clock instead Of at Z. as At present II
points out that there are six states in
which the polls close at O'clock. fifteen
at o'clock, twelve at o'clock. eleven at
O'Clock and one at O'Clock. The 6enti-
mel holds that the polls should open at s
q. m. and close at or p m This would
allow OF everybody's going to the polls.
and the result would be ascertained at .
much earlier hour than at present. and
the result Is what the people want. The
only objection that is made 10 that work.
ingmen avail themselves of tho last hour
to visit the polls: but 1t is pointed out that
employers on election day usually grant
their employees leave OF absence. and IN
any event all could cast their ballots in
the morning before going to work.
