THE BALLOT FoRAl

The tangle which has resulted in the
change in the ballot law which makes
it impossible for the voter to choose
from all the candidates for railroad
commissioners the three which he pre-
fers, emphasizes the fact that our pres
ent ballot is made up on the wrong
principle.
The arrangement of the ballot in
ticket columns places q premium on
ignorance It makes it easy to vote
for the party but difficult to vote for
the mantle individual candidate.
The blind partisan can easily vote a
straight ticket. but the man who wishes
to vote for an individual candidate on
some other ballot must go over into
some other column and hunt for his
man.
The amendment to the ballot law
which allows a cross in the circle to be
counted except where cross marks
after individual candidates indicate
otherwise, is a vast Improvement over
what we have formerly had, and were
It not for the change that has brought
about the nixup over railroad COM
naissioners our present ballot law Isl
probably as perfect as could be Sc
cured IL we are to vote for the party
and not for the man.
For those who believe In placing
party above individual merit our pres
ent ballot is ideal. but for those who
believe in voting for the man and not
the party, the Massachusetts, arrange
ment is the better.
According to the Massachusetts, plan
the candidates are grouped under the
Offices for which they are running,
and not under the party name as we
group them They are arranged
alphabetically and the name of his
party is placed after each candidate.
If this were the plan in Kansas the
candidates for governor would appear
on the ballot in this way:
FOR GOVERNOR (vote for One)
J. B. Cook. Prohib.
Harry Gilman, Socialist.
William A. Harris, Dem.
Edward w. Hoch, Rep.
Horace A. Keefer, Peoples.
There would be a square after each
name. and the voter would vote as an
any other ballot. The candidates for
lieutenant governor would follow, and
so on down The Candidates for rail-
road commissioners would appear like
/ this:
/ FOR r. r. COMMISSIONER
Vote for Three.)
Chas. A Brown, Soc.
Chas. A. Cooper, Dem.
A. E. Evers, Prohib.
Wallace Gibbs. Prohib
James Humphrey. Dem.
Geo. ". Kanavel Rep.
G. c. McFadden, Prohib.
Harry Mcmillan, Dem.
P. b Moore, Socialist.
Frank J. Ryan, Rep.
Chas. A. Ryker, Rep.
G. A Saliyards. Peoples.
Jas. Q. Smith. Socialist.
! ..--....
........ ..--.-.- $1,000. '..s.....
/ ......-
IN some states where this form of
ballot is followed provision is made for
the partisan voter by allowing him to
designate at the top of the ballot that
he wishes to vote straight Republi-
can ticket, or a straight Democratic
ticket. or some other party ticket as
/ the case may be.
It might be inadvisable, to make any
further changes in our ballot law. But
If any changes are to be made they
ought to be such as will aid the other
voter in voting for men, and not such
as viii tie him down to parties.
