Associated Press to The Evening Time..
Boston. Mass. Sept. 25.-The man
who undertook to vote on somebody
else's name at the primaries in this
city today had to run more of a
gauntlet" than heretofore, for in ad-
dition to having the name called out
by the precinct officer when he asked
for a ballot, the precinct officer also
announced the height of the man
whose name had been called. Then
the police officer on duty at the pol
ling booth looked over his descriptive
list of voters to see if the man who
had called for a ballot answered the
description against that name on the
descriptive list. This was only put
ting into effect the new state law
governing elections. At each polling
booth there is measuring rod near
the ballot box under which the voter
must stand in case there is any ques-
tion about his height.
