The Ballot Law Amendments.

The fact that the subcommittee
appointed under the authority of
the Republican State Committee to
prepare amendments to the ballot
law has reached an agreement will
encourage the hope of legislative
action. Everything has waited
upon the work of the sub-commit-
tee.
The understanding is that the
party State Committee is to be call
ed together to act upon the report
of the subcommittee. That report
includes the draft of a bill amend
ing certain provisions of the exist
ing law without attempting q
sweeping revision. Undoubtedly
it will be much less difficult to
secure certain amendments in es-
sential directions than to under
take at this time to enact a new
law covering the whole subject.
The subcommittee, by taking the
course it does, has greatly improv-
ed the prospect of securing some
important changes required by ex-
perience, and conspicuous among
these is a reduction in the size of
the official ballot.
Necessarily anything command
ing the support Of the different ele-
ments interested would have to be
in the nature of a compromise.
There were radical demands for
changes in both directions, but the
strong popular sentiment which
has insisted upon a ballot less of
the blanket size has been recognized
by all. The ballot is made smaller
by grouping the names of the can
didates under the title of the office
for which they are nominated. At
the same time provision is made for
voting Il straight party ticket by a
single mark, and vote for a can
didate not on the party ticket is to
be counted, Notwithstanding the
straight ticket has also been mark
ed. This carries out the intent of
the voter and is an important
change from the present law, which
has caused much confusion in the
minds of voters and loss of votes.
The subcommittee also proposes
a better safeguarding in the case of
assistance for the disabled voter.
1t is therefore recommended that
increased penalties be imposed
upon any voter who falsely declares
his inability to mark his own bal
lot, and particularly for any help
er who shall attempt to deceive or
influence the voter, or reveal how
any one assisted by him has voted.
This feature has been subject of
contention ever since the adoption
of the present ballot system, and it
is not easy to get an agreement
upon a provision that will suit all
parties. The proposed amendment
will at least help to restrict what
has been a wide open chance for
bribery and intimidation.
We believe that the result of the
subcommittee efforts will be ac-
cepted as a considerable step in the
right direction, and that is all that
could have been expected. If it
should be approved by the State
Committee it would go to the Leg
islature with such party authority
that its support by the Republican
majority in that body would be in
evitable. Philadelphia Press.

We allude to this because OF

cine. We recommend Vinol
and sell it on a guarantee of
money back If it does not bene-
tit the user. We don't expect
Vinol to help everybody. Yet,
strange to say, out Of every one
hundred bottles sold, less than
two per cent. proved unsatis-
factory. In other words, ninety
eight out of every hundred
found Vinol of value-many of
them great value.

ailing, with bad stomach, poor
appetite, cough, nervousness,
that we think Vinol will help
