concerning 1t General T F. Rodenbough Chief of
the Elections Bureau. said to-day:
Seventy-two hours actual time would be little
enough in which to complete this canvass but, as

hours for the returns received from the in
spectors until well toward the end of the first
tWentY-tour hours and actual work can begin only
on the second day. I made an attempt last wear
TO have the time limit extended to ninety-six hours
which would give US what the trainers of the law
contemplated we should have for the canvass, but
the LEGISLATURE did nothing. There other de-
IeCtS in the Primary law but this I regard as the
chef one and one that the next legislature should
remedy without fail. OF course. will finish the
