MAY BE PRIZE ELECTION CASE.
Young Man Accused OF Trying to Vote on
Name or One Much Older.

Politicians and lawyers were greatly
Interested in the first examination OF an
election case that came up in the Yorkville
police court yesterday. Deputy Attorney
General C. Arthur Levy prosecuted the
case, in which a young man was accused
of attempting to vote on another mans
name in the First Election district OF the
Twenty-second Assembly district. The
polling place was at 877 Second avenue.
The prisoner was described in the court
papers as Bernard Wallace 20 years old,
an expressman who lives at 235 West Forty
fifth street, Lppman Gibbs, a salesman of
42l East Fiftv-first street said he was a
Hearst watcher at the polling place. Wal
lace, he said, went to the polls and wanted
to vote as Peter Brennan Peter Brennan
had registered from s4i Third avenue and
had given his age IA i5 years. When Gibbs
saw the age discrepancy he caused tho
arrest of Wallace,
The registration books were produced in
court and the poll clerks we're present as
Witnesses. Peter Brennan, a carpenter,
also appeared and said that he was in Pater-
son, n j., all through election day and had

TWO.CIRcLE.CROSS BALLOTS.
Tammany Instructions We're: Count, Them
for Mayor, but Not for District Attorney.

There has been a great deal of talk ever
since william r. Hearst decided to contest
the recent election to the effect that Mr.
Hearst lost practically all ballots on which
voters had marked a cross in the circle
under the Hearst emblem and also a cross
in the circle under the jerome emblem
This talk is coupled with the allegation, as
yet not susceptible Of proof, that several
thousand ballots marked in this way were
not counted for Hearst.
In view of this talk statement made
Yesterday by Assistant Corporation Counsel
Arthur c. Butts, who is member of the
Tammany Hall law committee, is interest
ing:
that as chairman OF the law committee in
his district he sent n notice to the Tam
many election inspectors before election
on just this point.
This notice" Mr.. Butts said, was to
the effect that a cross in both circles showed
that it was the intention Of the voter to
vote the party ticket but that in putting
a cross in the jerome circle he had voted
twice for District Attorney. There being
n double vote for that office, we held that
neither vote for District Attorney counted,
aud that such ballot should be counted
simply as vote for all of the candidates
except District Attorney.
Charles H. Knox, chairman of the Tam
many Hall law committee, construed the
law in this manner, and you will find that
like instructions were given to the Tammany
inspectors throughout Manhattan and The
Bronx. The returns of the inspectors will
show that they followed these instructions.
The talk that these ballots we're not counted
when marked for Mr. Hearst is absolutely
unwarrantod and is largely bluff.
"Thn Board of Elections does not instruct
inspectors of election on such points as
this, nor can the Corporation Counsel or
the Acknowledgement. The inspectors arc
cf their rasDprtiVn
and are not controlled in this matter by
the Board Of Elections or any other officer.

Simple and Uncolnplicated System Easily

State-NO Premium Put on Party Tick.
cts, No Penalty Imposed on independents
Below Is reproduced a portion Of the
official ballot supplied to the voters Of
Swansea, Bristol county, Mass, for the
election Of 1904. In that election Mas
sachusetts gave a plurality Of 92,o7o for
Roosevelt, Republican, for President and
plurality OF $3.50 for Douglas, Democrat,
for Governor
In preparing the ballot printed here one
whole column has been omitted. and In
order to mako the illustration complete
two other columns have been combined.
The official ballot consisted Of four col
umns, each twelve and one-half inches long
and four and three-egh inches wide. The
first column was as shown in the illustra-
ton, containing the names of the Socialist
Labor, Socialist, Democratic and Republican
candidates for electors Of President and
Vice-President, The second column con-
tanned the names of the candidates for elec-
tors OF President and Vice-President nomi-
mated by the Prohibition and Peoples par
ties, and a blank space, properly ruled, in
which Independent voters unsatisfied with
the party nominees for elector might write
the names of any candidates they chose.
In the third column were printed, under
the proper titles, the names of the candi-
dates for State Offices Of which six were
to be filed. In the fourth column and

of the ballot that are not occupied with

cannot very we'll make mark outside a

over the New York ballot on which the
many open spaces invite to error.
Massachusetts has an educational quail
fcation in its Constitution under which
persons not able to read and write are
excluded from voting. Consequently there
is no necessity for the use Of party emblems
to aid illiterate voters as there is in this
State, in which manhood suffrage prevails.

Sheriff. The whole ballot was not too large
to be handled with ease.
As to positions on the ballot the parties
are arranged in alphabetical order, accord
ing to the names of their candidates. In
1904 the Socialist Labor party had a cand-
date for President whose name began
with &C. He got the head of the first
column, the names of the party candi-
dates for electors Of President and Vice
President being printed Immediately under
his and his running mates. The Socialist
national ticket headed by Debs came
second, then the Democratic, and fourth
the Republican, although Massachusetts
is a Republican State
Among the candidates for Governor
the Socialist came first, the Republican
next, and so on, with Douglas, the Demo-
crat who was elected. at the bottom of the
group.
The ballot was arranged 80 that one cross
(x) mark could be made for an entire group
Of candidates for Presidential electors,
of whom each party nominated sixteen,
but this mark counted for no other office.
Each voter had to mark every candidate
he wished to see elected on the State ticket.
Those who voted for a candidate for every
office made eighteen cross tx) marks on
the ballot. With a simple ballot this was
an easy task. With the New York ballot
it would be considerably more difficult.
The Massachusetts ballot is always pro-
vided with blank lines on which any voter
may write the name of any person not on
the ballot for whom he wishes to vote
Once Massachusetts voter availed himself
Of this privilege to vote for some member
Of the Adams family for every Office to be
filed

ballot there are no blank spaces except the

With the addition Of rarty emhcms the

The advantage of the Massachusetts
ballot over New Yorks are many and
obvious. Every voter, partisan or inde-
pendent. is placed by it on an equal footing,
Every voter must give at least !ittle thought
to the man for whom he wishes to vote
Splitting the ticket IL as easy as straight
voting, and on the other hand it is as easy
to vote a straight ticket a. to split. No
party has any advantage over another
on the Massachusetts ballot. On the
New York ballot this is reversed. On the
Massachusetts, ballot citizen is encour-
aged to vote for men. On the New York
ballot he is penalized II he votes for men,
and a premium ia put on votes for the
machine. The opportunity for error in
marking is much less on the Massachusetts,
ballot than on that in use in this State.
