CROSSINGS ARE
NOW BEING
fLAGGED
Says Yardmaster Radcliff and
the New Ordinance is
Unnecessary.

Yardmaster Frank B. Radcliffe, OF
the Louisville and Nashville, is au,
thority for the statement that both
the Hayne street crossing and the
ZarragOosa street crossing are now
being tagged by the company, and
that the ordinance which Alderman
Maura has given notice that he viii
introduce, compelling the company te
station fiagmen at these crossings, Is
unnecessary.
The yardmaster said yesterday in
discussing the matter: I'VE have fol-
years sent a fagman ahead of every
train that has passed Hayne street
and there has never been an accident
there It Is the same 1t the ZaTragos
sa street crossing. although it was
only about a year since that We begal
to flag that place. l understand that
the ordinance to be introduced by Mr.
Maura gives the company the option
of placing gates at these crossings OF
statiOninx hagmen there permanently
To place gates there will cause great
inconvenience. not only to wagons
and teams, but also to pedestrians
and they are a regular nuisance in
cities where used As for tagging
them we now send man ahead OF
every engine passing the places, not
only for the safety of the public but
for the company's protection as well
and I think it unnecessary to have a
man stationed there permanently, as
called for in the ordinance"

we regret that Alderman William IL.
Zimmerman should have cause to COM
plain that he was not fairly treated in
the recent election for treasurer. Mr..
Zimmerman claims to have indisputable
evidence that the vote: given to him by
the official count in Jefferson Ward was
less than the vote actually cast for him.
He produces at least two well known
citizens who are willing to make affidavit
that they voted for him In one precinct
of that ward from which the returns
gave him not a single vote 1t is not
denied that these citizens voted for him,
but if is alleged that their ballots We're
improperly prepared. The election officers
at the First Jefferson Ward Precinct says
that he saw Mr.. u. Hossel, one of the
voters in question, prepare his ballot, but
that it did mol conform TO the legal
requirements, as he drew two cross
Ines through she names OF all the can
didates except that OF NJ. zimmefrnann.
where's sac law reqairias that in erasing
. mont lie line mas AT least two
tiris The way across.
trie thai uie lnw makes such a
provision but Judges Of election should
exercise common sense discretion in de-
tormining whether or not ballot is,
within the spirit of the law, legal
ballot. If the voter marks his ballot in
such way as to leave It in doubt, which
candidate or candidates he intended to
vote for. of course, his ballot must be
discarded. But II the marking is done
in such way as to indicate clearly his
choice of candidates, and the judges, one
and all. are satisfied on the point, the
ballot should be counted, whether or not
there be an exact compliance with the
letter of the law.
In the case above cited. for example,
an election officer admits that Mr.. Hassel
drew two cross lines through the names
of all cartldates.except the name of Can
didate Zimmerman. Therefore. there
could be no doubt in the minds OF the
judges that this voter intended to vote
for Zimmerman and his vote should have
been SO recorded. No hard and fast
rules can be made. The law was design
ed to promote voting and not to de-
prive any lawful voter of his vote. 1t is.
therefore, the duty of judges in executing
the law to register every ballot which
clearly and Enthusiastically indicates the
voters choice of candidates.
