UBIQUITOUS LAW
OPINION OF MANY
Professional and Business
Men Say Repeater Should
Have Been Passed
MEN INTERVIEWED

He Is Not Sufficiently Well Inform
ed About the Bill to Express an
Opinion.
The word from Dover yesterday to-
the effect that the voters assistant re-
pealer haid failed to pass the House was
received here with much dissatisfaction.
Everywhere on the street people were
wondering why Derrickson and Aspril
voted against the other Regular Repub-
licans Their excuses that they were
in favor of amending the bill so that
blind men could vote was taken as
poor excuse. The old law under which
the election officers work provides that
blind men and those afflicted in other
ways may be assisted by the election
officers. A number of people expressed
their opinion on the action of the
House. Some of the expressions fol-
low:
Il am surprised and shocked at the
vote taken on the repeal of the voters
assistants act. II seems incredible that
anyone elected as a Regular Republican
member of the Legislature should vote
to sustain such an iniquitous law. The
present law stands for corrupt elections
1t was framed to debauch voters and
does debauch them. If the party can
not rid itself of this incubus it cannot
expect to appeal to any who believe in
decent and honest government. -
Henry B. Thompson.
1T is an iniquitous bill and should
have been killed.-John Biggs.
q think that a change should be
made. but am not at present prepared
TO give an opinion on the matter
would rather have you not quote me. -
Anthony Higgins.
Il don't believe the law is necessary.
Our ballots should be so simple that
any man could vote without an assist
ant OF course. if it is used for illegal
measures / am not in favor of it,

Il think it is a great mistake anl
one of the worst laws ever enacted in
State as it stands. / am sorry they die

would not eat the devil. but would
