FOR FAIR

wise action of the Legislature
which assembled at Baton Rouge
yesterday, but none of them
equal in importance that of Sc.
curing absolutely fair elections.
1t is a self evident fact that
there can be no real expression
of the. popular will unless the
voters are allowed to vote their
own convictions and have their
votes honestly counted.
Popular government is founded
on the principle that the major

then instead of having majority
rule, we have a rule by the min
Ority and an undesirable minori.
ty at that.
There are six essentials to hon.
est elections: No undue inhu-
ence on the voters, no betting on
elections, secret ballot, correct
registration and poll lists, and a
true count.
AS to undue infiuence-no COM
bination OF candidates or forma-
ton of tickets should be allowed.
Every aspirant for Office should
positively announce himself in.

pirant, and proof that he had
promised anybody support in
anyway. shape or form or had
made promises of any kind

10 or been represented at any
caucus. should bar his candidacy.
In q woro, every effort should
be made to have a candidates
election depend absolutely on his
merits.
Betting on elections should be
made an offense with a Sc ,ere Jail
penalty, for it is an easy and con.
vepient form of influencing votes.
Bets can be used to make the
public think one side or the other
has the lead or certainty of cleo.
tiOn. It may also be used effec-
lively by the bettors offering to
divide in case he wins and thus
gain votes for his candidate.
The secret ballot is the only
protection against the bribe
giver. for it prevents him from
whether the goods" he
buvs is delivered. Under the
present system of allowing the
commissioners to fix the
voters ballot when requested,
collusioD between the bride giver
md election commissioner would
