county superlutendenls 10 Kansas

To Hurry the Couutins.

Kansas will very likely geC a hump
on herself at tue next legislature and
pass some kind Of law designed TO
give her quick election returns. The
most Important amendment to the
election law now being considered ny
the politicians is one providing that
voter will be required to make but
one mark on ballot when he desires
to vote a straight ticket for either
parry.
Uud .r the present system it is nee
essary for a voter TO make a cross
mark 10 every square opposite the
name Of tile candidate for whom he
desires to yOts. The new system
would facilitate the voting CT a
straight ticket
1t is proposed that an amendment
to the present aw shall provide for
the printing OF small circle at the
Top Of the respective tickets, 10 ad-
ditiOn TO the squares which appear
opposite the names OF the candidates.
The law will then be so framed
that when voter desires to cast a
straight ticket he shall make the
cross mark In the circle. When he
desires 10 vote for different persons
on the various tickets. then 1t will be
the duty TO mark In the small squares
as is now dom .or each nominee for
whom the vuter dec ares his prefer
ence.
Kansas is the only stale which puts
up with the delays necessitated 10
receiving returns under the AUSTRIA
lian ballot law without amending ths
law, so counting Can b facilitated.

ports col cerning the result OF the
election N the wires Tuesday night.
During that time but two counties In
Kansas got into the Associated Press
or special Odlletinreports. One was

reports received from Wichita and
SaliDa were very incomplete.
The result in New York was known
definitely by l0G'clOck Tuesday night.

the amendments Ia the law there
