The Circle To Go.

The bill by Senator Smith to remove
the circle from the ballot was passed
by the senate Saturday by vote of 81
for to against.
To the surprise Of everybody the de-
bate on the bill was limited.
Senator Smith explained the confus-
ion occasioned by the circle when vot-
ers wished to scratch" their tickets
and he thought it in the interest of the
people to make the election law con-
form to the spirit Of our institutions, to
make voting as simple and easy as pos
sible. The complication of the circle
and squares before names results in
many defective ballots. Removal of
the circle will aid in securing full and
effective expression of the real judg-
ment of the people as to candidates.
