sQUIREs MADE A BLUNDER.
City Clerk Had the Ballots Printed
Wrong.

A blunder was made by City Clerk
Squires in the instructions which he
issued to the printers with regard to
the printing of the official city ballot.
The ballots were folded so as to open
from the LEFT and the printing Of the
title was made in accordance. The law
specifically provides that the ballots
shall be opened from the right 1t is
not a mere matter of form which
prompts the character of folding, but
expediency. Each Of the ballots, ac-
cording to law. is numbered by one of
the judges in the right hand corner,
which corner is afterwards upon voting
clipped off. If the ballot is folded to
open from the left the clipping off of the
corner cuts in upon the ticket rendering
it partially defective. A great many of
the election boards noticing this blum
der numbered and clipped off the left
hand corner of the ballots. This was
technically illegal, however no action
will be taken upon it.
