BIC BALLOT +.
WILL BE THAT OF NOVEM.
BER ELECTION.
REPUBLICAN SCH E M {
Thought the Mazes Will
MystiN Voters.

The size Of the ballot this fall will
be something that will bewilder the
average voter who contemplates bolt
Ing his ticket, and so far as can be as
certained that is Just what the Re.
publican managers meant It should do
when the municipal and other minor
elections were changed to the fall in
stead of the spring. There were cer-
tain cities, chief among which was
Cleveland, where the Republicans could
win in the fall at the general election,
but in the spring when local issues
were involved. party lines were oblit-
Grated and the Democrats carried &C
day.
Canton is another city that is giving
the Republicans some trouble, and
which it is hoped to get on the safe
side by the influence Of the presidential
excitement and the confusion of a
blanket sheet ballot.
This being presidential year there
will be the names of the presidential
and vice presidential candidates, the
names of the % electors, the fifteen
or more state and county candidate, the
city, township and district nominees
making In all over so names that must
be upon each of the tickets, and there
will be six or seven tickets on each bn!-
lot. In addition to all these names
there will be the party names and de-
vices at the head Of each ticket, occu-
pying the space of about three inches
and then there will be the stub that is
torn off that will add couple of more
inches to the length.
1t can be safely figured that the bal
lot will be as wide or wider than a
page of the Morning News and at least
three feet long. The plan has been to
get so much upon the ballot that when
the average voter looks at its mazes
and intricacies, he will make a mark
in the ring above the ticket rather than
risk mixing things down the line.
Some of the party leaders claim that
the Republicans are counting upon the
ignorance of the people, but that In
this city they will be disappointed
They say that the average voter that
has independence enough to bolt his
ticket is smart enough to know how
to do it in spite Of all the red tape that
has been thrown about the simple act
of casting a ballot.
1t is fortunate for the size Of the bal
lot that the county and city tickets are
rot large. The space occupied by eacE
name and the name Of the office for
which the party is running will be over
a quarter of an inch, and the law re-
quires that three-eights of an inch
shall be between the names, 80 that
come idea can be secured as to how
long the ballots win be. It will run
over half an inch to each
name.
