City Clerk Redington delivered the
ballots at his Office last Monday to the
judges of the several precincts. The
ballots for the country precincts had
been taken by the town clerks of the
respective districts. The town clerks
thereupon assumed the duties devoN-
Ing, in st. Paul, upon the city clerk.
Ballots Still With City Clerk
Each of these 10000 ballots, as the
law presumes, is still in the possession
OF the authorities. All the ballots
voted were put back in the ballot box.

and We're returned in the box to the

ballots, and all of the ballots not used,
were inclosed by the judges of the pre-

the county auditor.
Z The official ballot, intricate as it ac-

only burden, previous to election, upon
the minds of Mr.. Confarr and his asso-

Tuesday have imagined how much care
and complication is associated with the
preparing of the ballots.
The first time that the primary law
was tested in ST Paul was at the
spring election of 1902. For that cleo
tion, land for nearly every subsequent
election, the printing of the ballots and
Of the other necessary blanks has been
done by the Pioneer Press company,
under the direction of Walter p. Con-
farr.
sHis task would have been compare
lively easy If specimen blanks had been
made part of the law, or If the law had
consisted of general provisions only.
But the legislature undertook to ex-
plain. without illustration, precisely
how the ballots should be printed, is
sued, fused and returned; precisely what
records should be made by the officers
concerned, during and after election;
precisely what should be done by
everybody in case that something went
wrong. 1900
Made Primary Law His Catechism
MR. Cof3farr, therefore, made the
primary law. his catechism. He read 1t
before and after retiring; he set it's
fruitful pages before him at meals; he
compared section 203 with section Al;
hesmeditated upon tally sheets while
hes rode in street cars on his way to
business ;zzhe. took legal advice as to
tie possibility that section S46, might
inyalidate the happy cooperation of
sections 140 and 20.
