FOUR SEPARATE BOXES.

The attorney general has rendered
an opinion that there must be separate
boxes for voting on each constitutional
amendment. There are four amend
ments to be voted on at the general
election. The opinion was asked for
by Senator j. S. Brice, Of York. and
Is as follows:
Replying to your communication re-
questing to be advised whether 1t Will
be necessary to have separate boxes
for each constitutional amendment l
beg to say that I am Of the opinion
that such will be necessary. 1t Is true
that the election law Is not as clear as
It should be on this point, but 1t seems
to me that it would lead to confusion
were 1t otherwise. This year there
are four amendments to be voted up
on and II all the amendments were
to be voted in one box a voter could
cast four ballots for or against any
particular amendment: This would OF
course open the door for confusion and
fraud. Such being the case, 1t seems
to me that there should be box for
each amendment.
Senator Brice advises THE ENQUIRER
that according to the foregoing con-
struction Of the law, the state Will
require ten boxes at each precinct.
