There is no more picturesque
figure in American public life
than Charles Joseph Bonaparte.
He is the grandson Of Jerome
Bonaparte and the brilliant and
beautiful Betsy Patterson. a
Baltimore belle. who was very
soon put away by her prince
Husband at the command of his
| Indignant brother Napole leon.
This grandson has been a Wig !,
orous campaigner on behalf of
, the civilsservice reform associa-
|tion and other public-spirited
organizations, though possessing
La fortune which might have
tempted a less strenuous spirit
lto3a life of greater ease. For
many years Mr.. Bonaparte has
been an intimate friend Of the
president. So great is Mr..
Roosevelt's confidence in him
that on many matters of national
concern he has sought his adj
vice and counsel. To determine
accurately the legal phase Of the
postoffice frauds, the president
designated Mr.. Bonaparte and
i Holmes Conrad to investigate
the subject, and on their report,
he took decisive action without
hesitation.

tcularly careful under this lew ballot law, especially if he employ
the crossdn the circle at the top of a party column. If he does not do
this he can make his vote effective by marking his ballot in the same
manner as under the old system-that is, by putting a cross opposite
the name of one candidate for each office for whom he desires to vote
or by writing the name of a candidate when none of those printed on
the ballot n acceptable to him.
If the legislators, when they framed the ballot law, had really
desired to simplify and facilitate voting, they would not have i'm
posed so many intricate, complicated and unnecessary conditions
upon the citizen who votes independently For example, if he marked
a cross in the circle and went to another party column and put a cross
beside the name OF a candidate whom he wished to support, that
would be a plain and definite indication of his preference. If he wrote
in a name in the blank space provided, and put a cross beside it, that,
too, ought to be ample and distinct evidence of his intention.
But the partisan spirit that ruled the last legislature decreed
otherwise, seemingly with hope of gaining advantage by the obstacles
it placed in the way of independent voting. There is good reason to
believe it has underestimate the intelligence of the independent cleo
torate. The citizen who votes for those he considers the most COM
petent and trustworthy among the candidates presented, whatever
party label they may bear, is pretty certain to study the voting laws
so carefully that he will not be DISTINGUISHED through quirks cum
ningly and designedly inserted in it.
HOW TO VOTE THE NEW BALLOT.
To vote a split ticket without trouble ignore circle at top and
vote as under old system for one mar for each office.
To vote a straight ticket place a cross in the circle under the
symbol of the party you wish to support.
Having placed the cross in the circle it is possible to vote for
others outside the column by scratching out the name o. the candi-
date you wish ignored and placing a cross in the space to the right Of
the mar favored if his name appears on the ballot.
Should the mans not appear, it may be written in under the title
Of the Office in the blank column.
1t tbs necessary to strike out the name in the corresponding space
in the straight column and cross the new name also to make the
ballot effective.

The first important duty of every citizen Of Rhode Island at the
election now near at hand IS to vote, and the second to see that he so
marks his ballot that it will be effective a S to every candidate he de-
sTes to support, and will not be thrown out as defective by the re-
turning board a IS were nearly one-hfth Of the votes cast in the first
congressional district last year In April last the general assembly,
ostensibly to simplify the method of marking ballots and thus reduce
the number Of detectives, made radical changes in the law, and as
these changes will be operative for the first time at the coming
November election, it is essential that every voter should familarize
himself with them before going to the polls
Under the new system the names Of all the candidates of each
party will be printed in regular order under the party symbol and
name. These symbols will be an eagle for Republicans, a star for
Democrats and a fountain for Prohibitionists. Immediately under
these symbols will be found a circle and by putting a cross within it
the citizen can vote a straight party ticket. This provision of the law
is easily understood and it is one that ought to tend to decrease the
number of defective ballots.
In this state, and in Providence particularly, there are thousands
of citizens who seldom, if ever, vote a straight ticket. They are
mining factor in elections In framing the new ballot law it appears
bly, to discourage this large and influential class of voters by imposing
upon them conditions wholly unnecessary and calculated to render
voting by them a S complicated and difficult as possible.
If a citizen of independent political thought and action wishes to
vote for a majority but not all the candidates Of any party he may
put a cross in the circle and must then draw a line through the names
of those he does not desire to support. If in some other party column
he finds the names of candidates for the Offices he has previously
marked out who re satisfactory to him he can vote for them by put
ting a cross in the squares to the right Of their names. In the event
that none of the candidates whose names are printed on the ballot
meet his approval he can write in the names of other men in the
spaces prepared for that purpose and by marking a cross to the right
make his ballot effective as to them.
1t will be seen, then, that the independent voter must be par
