Similar to Our Australian
Election Ballot.
Name to Be Placed on N0minat.
ing Ballot by Petition
and Voted For.
To The ARGUS:
The bill introduced in 1890 did
not contemplate a change so radical
as the present reform agitation seems
to demand. 1t referred entirely to
county nominations, and did not
provide for the expense that would
result from the more sweeping
changes since demanded.
The scheme I presented then, en-
larged and made to conform with the
EXTREMIST system advocated now,
would be this:
Amend the present election law to
include an additional election day,
say, about the first of August, with
the same officials to prepare and dis
tribute the ballots, and with inspectors
and clerks of election appointed by
the same capacity as at present.
ANY person desiring to run for a
county Office, say, for sheriff, would
be required to present a petition
signed by a number of legal voters of
the county equal to = per cent. Of
the votes his party cast for that office
at the last preceding election.
The same proceeding would ;:e re-
quired for every county Office, the
petition specifying the party the
petitioner belonged to, and should
be filed with the same official as is
the certificate of nomination by d
convention under the present law
A person ambitious to fill state or
district Office would be required to
file with the same official with whom
the nominees of the state convention
are now filed, petition signed by a
number of legal voters Of the state
equal to - per cent. of the votes
cast by his party for that office at
last preceding election. These Of
ficials, cooperating as at present,
would collect all. the petitions
Of all parties and print the
names, each under the title of the Of
flee to which he aspires-all candi
dates for sheriff under that title and
candidates for governor under that
title, and SO with every other Office,
county, state or neutrality-suspicious.
in one column, democrats in another,
populists in a third, and so on. This
general ticket could be compactly
printed and would not necessarily be
larger than at present. The primary
election day the voter is given a
ticket, officially stamped; he retires
to booth and place an x after the
name of the man Of his choice under
each county, district or state Office
title. If his choice is not on the
printed list blank space at the bot
tom would allow him to write it or
use sticker. After folding his
ticket he hands it to the judge or in
spector, who deposits it in the ballot
box, and the clerk registers his name.
When the polls are closed the ballots
are counted and returns made as at
the general election, the votes can
vassed and the man having the highest
number Of votes, for any Office, by
any party, is declared the nominee
of his party for that office.
No split tickets would be allowed.
A voter would be allowed to K names
only in one column. The fact of his
having voted would constitute his
registration, and only these who
registered would be entitled to vote
at the general election in November
