Must be Able to Read.

Quite an important change was made
in the election law last winter which is
as follows:
"Any elector who declares to the pre-
siding Judge Of election that he is un-
able to mark his ballot by reason OF
blindness, paralysis, extreme old age, or
other physical infrmity is apparent to
the Judges to be sufficient to incapacitate
the voter from marking his ballot prop
erly, may, upon request, receive the as
sistance in the marking thereof OF two
Of the judges Of election, belonging to
different political parties. and they
shall thereafter give no information IN
regard to the matter. But such assist
ance shall not be rendered for any othel
cause which the voter may specify, ant
the presiding judge may require sucl
declaration Of disability to be made b!
the elector under oath before him."
