American advances new idea con
corning the holding of elections.
1t will cause the thinking man to
think. Here is what he says All
voting should be done by mail and
the election period should cover
one entire week. a simple plan
for State elections would be for
each voter to send application for a
ballot to the Secretary of State ten
DAYS prior to election week. The
ballots would be forwarded at once
by registered mail. Under this
system each voter would have his
ballot many days before election,
during which time he could con-
slider the candidates and all the
questions and prepare his ballot at
leisure. When election week came
he would return his ballot by reg
istered mail to the Secretary of
State. If any frauds were discov-
cred, either in voting or counting,
the guilty one would meet the very
grave indictment of using the
limited States mails to defraud.

The Socialist party is the coming
third party of the nation. The
returns from the late election show
Il startling growth of this new fac
tor in American politics. Two
years ago they east Il vote of sc,
600 for Eugene Debs, but this
year their vote was increased to
more than 100000. The late
election returns show that in the
cities this party drew most heavi-
ly from the Democrats but in the
country they drew heaviest from
the Republicans. Both the par
ties will have an eye on the So
