The present election laws were
evidently framed under the impress
sion that We should only poll the
1900 votes as at the last election
held under eligarchical control.
To-day the indications are that the
Honolulu district alone will poll
between four and five thousand
votes. One precinct alone has al
ready over 1900 voters. Apd under
the present law there will be . con-
gestion at the polling boths which
are inadequate in number to &C.
comodate the voters. A computa.
tion has been made at more than
one headquarters that if even a
minimum time allowance is made to
each man to mark his ballot in the
compartment, and he being an in
telligent man, it will take no less
than eleven hours to poll the votes,
and yet only nine hours are allowed.
Why on earth the polls should be
opened at the late hour OF s o'clock
and close at the early hour OF 5 p.
m. is mystery that no voter can
understand. 1t may be trick to
cut off the laborer's vote. From
sunrise to sunset is the American
principle; then all have a chance.
Then the new system OF ballots will
be confusing even to theIinteligent
voter. In the midst OF this con-
fusion The INDEPENDBNr suggests
that the government furnish, as
soon as all the nominations have
been made, some thousands OF
sample ballots to the several party
headquarters a few days before
election. The voter can then pre-
pare his ballot aud by merely copy
ing it save time.
