THERE has been considerable talk, fav-
prable and otherwise, on the part the
Judges took In attestlng the ballots cast
1t the last election. The democrats con-
lending that the judges who sat in New
Uastle and Sussex counties had no right
10 60 behind the returns as presonte1 to
hem by the inspectors OF the different dis
riots. They contend that the judges had
40 right to open the ballot boxes and count
The votes, thus multiplying the returns Of
The Inspectors by adding to the vote In
,eme Instances and taking away In others.
fhey appear to lose sight of the fact that
Inspectors have In the past been bribed
and that the judges are disinterested par
lies md above suspicion. II the masses
IRE dissatisfied they have the remedy In
iheir own hands. Give the vo ers an hon
mt ballot that can't DO thrown on. because
& has mark on it, which they, the In
Ipeetors consider illegal or folded wrong.
l Simplify the voting 50 that there can be
30 excuse for throwing out single ballot.
Do away with the cumbersome and costly
bsllot. Allow every man to vote as did
his father before him. Don't have bal
lot that there can be any possibility of ras.
'ally Inspectors throwing out, thus nulli-
lying the right which under the Constitu-
Non Of the United States is guaranteed to
bvery man white or black.
