The Ridiculous BIunders of Kansas Voters.

The lola Register in commenting upon chances run
possible loss the state to the national Republican
ticket proceeds say that "One would suppose that after
nearly ten years experience with the Australian ballot
would have learned how to use It. But the re
ports of the clerks judges counted the votes show
that considerable percentage of the voters are
utterly at when they go BOOTH with nothing
but ballot and lead pencil.
"The eommones mistake perhaps was to vote for onlv
Of the ten electors The name Of A w Smith was the
first the list, and when the returns are in it viii
be found that he received several hundred and perhaps
several thousand votes than the last man on the list
In close contest president might be lost by such mis-
take that
In one precinct in this county voter made no mark
on his ballot except to make Bryans name
at the places it appeared Whether he wished to cast
vote for Bryan straight against him. the judges
could not guess And ballots had no mark on
except cross opposite the Mckinley All such
ballots Of course thrown out
Another peculiar feature of the election was the varia
ton of the number for the different Offices
It strange that there should be from 10 oto 200 men
in every county who did for anybody but
president the this to be the case And
there doesn't to be any particular reason why from
fifty to hundred county should wish to vote for
secretary Of state but should care to vote for auditor
but many counties will present just such a condition
The chances most Of the inexplicable varia
tons shown by returns are due to errors in making
the ballot to the voters wish And yet how
can any one make mistake who to read the simple
direction printed at the top ticket: Make cross
mark thus: X at the right of the name for
which you wish to vote"

The campaign OF 1892 was an exciting
one. Four years previous women ha5
gained suffrage after d bitter fight. They
were now asserting their rights to take

Old-time political parties were forgot

the banner of the Liberal party. while
the men pinned their faith 10 the Con-

had crystaiized into such a dangerous
political factor, had been started years
before by Mrs. Annie L. DISCS and Mrs.
Mary E. Lease, who had agreed upon
the formation OF "A woman's political
party. They had tired OF the battle Of
reform and had concluded that the true
method TO bring about a revolution In
things political was to form party com
posed wholly Of women, and Gust the
men from office

one. Men ridiculed the movement and
its supporters. Little by little The men
