THE SECRET BALLOT.

The Owensboro Messenger-Demo-
cratic except as to the state Demo-
critic machines one of the valiant
champions of the viva voce move. IL
wants Kentucky to go back fifty
years to the old way of voting, and
have men forced to go up and vote
so the world can see for whom and
what they voted. This is all right for
the man who does not care, no doubt,
but for thousands of others who do
care, IL is not. Many men are so sit
mated that they cannot openly vote
their sentiments without injuring
themselves socially, financially,or po-
litically. Others are not so situated,
but the main thing is to protect those
who are.
Mr.. Bryan and other good Demo-
Gratis, say that the secret ballot is
the working mans best friend. But
the viva voce system seems to be the
politicians best friend in the eyes
of some Kentucky Democrats. They

Messenger from the Cincinnati En-
quirer:
lone of the warmest advocates OF
returning to the viva voce system Is
former Chief Justice w. S. Pryor, OF
Henry county. He served over TWEEN
ty years on the appellate bench and
says his investigation of election
fraud contests proved conclusively
that more frauds, by two to one, are
committed under the secret ballot
plan than under the viva voce plan
He says il is possible. under the Sc
cret ballot, for a few men absolutely

executed frauds, and that no way
has been found TO circumvent them
whereas under the viva voce system
each voter has his name recorded
and can see that his name is proper

der the viva voce system the record
shows how each man voted. thus
greatly lessening the opportunity for
frauds"
This is all rot, no matter whether
Judge Pryor said 1t or not. Judge
Pryor said Mayor Yeiser did not
have TO be reelected, too, but the
court of appeals said he did, so what
Judge Pryor says is not always in

Both defendants are blind men who
sell newspapers on the southeast corner
of Main and First South streets. There
has been "a bitter professional rivalry
between them for some time past as
well as a question OF jurisdiction which
has resulted in frequent ebullitions \

when officer Joe" Barlow arrested the
pair after they had made hostile ad-
Vances toward each other and had made
remarks which that discriminating Of

The men are both middle aged, prob
ably in the neighborhOod of fifty years.
Henderson was arraigned first in police
court yesterday afternoon. He is a
man Of stalwart build, although almost
totally blind. With no surplus verbiage.
Henderson averred that he was not
guilty of cursing and swearing. al
though he Eliminated that he might ac-
cept charge of belligerency. He was
unable TO produce witnesses. he ex-
