THE NEW ELECTION LAW.
P]Rov1sIoNs REG ULhrrNo TEE ToT-
ING ON TUESDAY.

A Careful Statement OF the Law Bearing
on the Questions Likely to Arise on
Election Observation-Disclosures and RIGHTS
OF s-Duties and Powers or Eiec-
t,ou Omcers-Tbe Ballots and the
Process OF Casting and Countiug Them.
Tho election this year is TO DO conducted
under a rev law, similar in many Of its pro-
visions TO the law which was now last year.
The present law, however, contains many Inn
portant changes, and gives rise TO numerous
questions. The daily papers are printing
largo numbers of inquiries as to the operation
and the Interpretation OF the Election law. 1t
IA understood that election officers In pnrticu-
lar are much puzzled as TO the details OF their
duties on election day. The form OF the law
IN such as to confuse the mind of any ono who
has not made II more careful study of IL than
most election officers can make. In view of
the great importance of securing the orderly
administration Of the law in tho comingseloc.
tion. and for the purpose of enabling officers
of election, voters, and party watchers to COM
ply wi ii the law, THE SUN has caused the fol-
lowing statement TO bo prepared by lawyers
conycrsant with the law after careful study.
IL is hoped that this presentation will enable
all concerned 4. the conduct of the business of
the polling places on election day to avoid the
difficulties and errors which would be inevit-
eDlc II no other Rulue IMAM the law itselI were
available. The Sun desires to aid In obtain
ing an orderly election. q fair count, and re-
turns legal in all respects.
The statement embodies the substance of the
provisions of law especially applicable To the
process Of preparing. casting. and counting the
ballots, or bearing upon the questions likely to
arise on election day. Unless It Ia other wise |
stated, the provisions covered by this state
ment are mandatory. To a considerable ex-
tent it has been necessary to inter pref the law;
but It is evidently better that the election OFF,
GERS should act upon an Interpretation as care
ful as trat here presented, rather than upon an
Interpretation reached by th,m unaided in the
hurry and excitement of election. Tho ar
rangement is chronological. leading through the
processes of voting and counting in the natural |
order. The provisions under any head are so |
scattered throughout the law that. no good in
dex being available. the copies OF the law fur
nished to election officers are practically value |
less. The statement may be relied upon. and, |
II followed, it will protect the election officers
from many of the dangers incident to the exc
cution of . complicated and obscure law under
very trying conditions. THB Sun will well
come inquiries AZ to the law, and. 90 far as pos
Sible, will answer such inquiries in its columns.
