required to make a cross after the name
of each candidate on the ballot for whom
he voted, or to write in the blank space
provided the name of person of his own
selection. This was the Australian bal
lot, as nearly as it could be adapted to
our political usages.

for the arrangement of the polling place
and the conduct of the election, substan-
italy in the manner now followed at our
general elections, and patterned after the
Australian system.
Right to Vote Straight Ticket.
"a single election was all that the peo-
pie of this state would permit to be held
under this law. They could not manage
the ballot. 1t was said to disfranchise
electors. Chapter $40 of the laws of
1891 was enacted. 1t provided ballot,
generally speaking, the same as we now
have it. The voter was no longer re-
CURED to make q mark after each name,
but he was afforded the option either of
voting a straight party ticket by making
single mark under the party designa-
ton at the top of the ballot, or of vot-
ing in the Australian way for any name
on the ticket that he might select. Many
minor changes have been made in the
ballot by different Legislatures, but no
attempt to return to the Australian bal
lot of the Cooper law has been success
full. The general plan of conducting the
election and the general arrangements in
and about the voting place, as they were
established by the Cooper law, have been
continued. Our general election law is
satisfactory. 1t will give way only to
something better. The saving merit III
our official ballot is that the voter may
cast secret ballot.

all the party tickets are spread out be-
fore him on the official ballot in seclud-
ed place, and he may select the whole

"Many and serious were the charges

during the arguments on the Stevens
bill before the joint committees of the
two houses of the Legislature, and, as l
recall the discussion, l am led to refer
to what the platform said about every
voter, in making nominations, exercising
his sovereign right of choice by direct

of the Stevens bill, relating to the meth

"What is meant by the Australian bal
lot? The answer is found in the Act
of the Parliament Of South Australia,
dated October p, 1862. l quote as fol-
lows:
Section 7. Whereupon the returning
officer or deputy returning officer shall
place mark against the voters name
on the electoral role or copy, and hand

dence of such candidates, arranged III like

have a square printed opposite to the
name of such candidate with number

ballot has effected a great reform IN our

animation.

Cooper law contains the first provision
for an official ballot, somewhat after the
form of the Australian ballot, known to

when eyes and understanding were
brought to bear upon the bill, its glar-
