Arrangement.

City Attorney Breen. after carefully
computing how the stars happened 10 fall

reelection has come to the conclusion that
the voting machines, as now operated, are
not quite right He believes the party
lever should be done away with altogether
and It made necessary for the voter 10 pull
down small projections over each candidate
for whom he wishes TO vote. To discourage
a simple running of the finger along a
straight ticket the attorney would have
the candidates of various parties dis
tributed in checkerboard fashion--that Is
with layers of republicans sandwiched in
between layers of democrats and socialists
and vice versa,
Had this been the arrangement every
man on the republican ticket. with the ex-
ceptOn of two would have won at the re-
cent election" said Mr. Breen, with a sigh
in Wisconsin the use of the party lever is
prohibited and the elector must cast his
ballot for the individual men he prefers
This scheme ] heartily commend and be
lieve it should be adopted here and in
cOrporated into our laws. It would be
carrying out the contention for the reading
ballot, now so strongly insisted upon by
