THE ELECTION Law.

The anti-fusion election law passed
by the last legislature is not novel
ty in legislation 1t is not diaboli-
cal invention brought into exist
ence for the first time in Kansas
Nearly all its provisions are copied
from the laws of other states that
have been in force for many years
and have been found to work salts
factorily-
New York has the most complete
election law of any state in the
union For many years the New
York law has prohibited the name
of any candidates being printed ON
the ballot more than once This
provision has been undisturbed, even
though the democrats have had both
branches of the New York legisla-
ture repeatedly since its enactment
The anti-fusion clauses of our law
are taken literally from the law of
Wyoming, which has been in force
six years and has been sustained by
the courts of that state

A POLITICAL WEDDING.

j. Frank Smith, editor of the Pleas
anton Observer. gives the following
unique write-up of the fusion con-
vention in this county:
The bride is young in years but
old in experience. She was born
about 1883 and her parents were
named Alliance. A few years later
the family went into bankruptcy and
changed their name to Populist. The
lady is not particularly handsome but
claims the ownership of 1000 votes
in Linn county, which caused her
hand to be eagerly sought by the
groom.
Mr.. Demo. is gay old sport who
has been on the turf for a long time.
He and Miss Pop have been counting
for several years, and while they
have quarreled at times and said
mean things of each other they have
as often made up and gone about to-
gether for months at a stretch cam
paigning.
The engagement has been of long
standing but the wedding has failed
at several appointed dates. There
has always been opposition on the
part of the brides relatives because
the union meant the loss of the fam
rights. While Mr.. Demo. was most
anxious to absorb the name and
chattels of the bride he said little
about the matter and kept her enter
tanned with taffy and promises of
happy home.
There is an old feud existing be-
tween the Demo. family and another
family named Republican. Many of
the Pops are related to the latter
family and they are naturally preju-
diced against Mr.. Demo. Many of
the Pops say they will never recog-
nize their new brother-in-law and
when they wish to visit or borrow
they will go to their Republican kin
folks. 1t is quite probable that there
will be trouble in the home of Mr..
Demo. about election day and a di-
vorce case will not be surprising
within a year.

the Australian ballot have . circle
at the top of each ticket SO that one
mark therein votes q straight ticket
The adoption of the circle made new
rules for marking the ballot a neces-
sity- These rules and the provisions
defining what makes a ballot void
are taken literally from the New
York law. They have been passed
upon and defined by the highest
courts of that state repeatedly.
These decisions are binding upon our
courts. Consequently, there is the
least possible ground for doubt or
contention as to the exact force and
meaning of these provisions in our
new law
The use of an emblem to designate
a party ticket is very general
Throughout the country. The adop-
ton of this feature needs no defense.
The provision of the anti-fusion law
on this point is an exact copy of
the New York law.
Likewise, the provision that the
words mo Nomination" shall be
printed under the title of an office
wherever no nomination has been
made for that office is literal copy
of the New York law which has stood
uHuiS 1uEDco 1hTOuSn EcPuDuCaA dAu
democratic administrations in that
state for many years.
The provisions for counting the
ballots, certainly q great improve
ment over the old method, are also
taken from the New York law.
The separation of the general and
township ballots il in accordance
with the practice in New York and
Indiana as well as in many other
states whose laws are based upon the
laws of these states.
Experience has demonstrated that
the new provisions contained in the
anti-fusion law are conducive to
honest and fair elections and work
no hardship or injury upon any one.

The same calendar can be used every
twenty years. October always begins
on the same day of the week as JAN
