WE need a more simple form o.
ballot for intelligent people, or peo
pie who think they are intelligent
to use at general elections. If any
doubt this statement, we point to
the twenty-five spoiled ballots
which came out of the ballot box
in the Second of the Tenth Repre-
sentative District of Kent county
last Tuesday night. Sixteen Re-
publicans attempted to split their
ticket, and accomplished the feat
oflosing their vote entirely, as the
ticket was either not marked in the
square at the head to indicate for
which party they desired to vote,
or had so marked the names that
the election judges construed them
to be marked ballots, and there
fore were not counted. All of
these were cast by men who
thought that they were capable of
scratching a ticket; but failed. |
Three democrats did the same,
while two prohibitionists failed to
use common intelligence in mark
ing their ballot. Two ballots in
addition to these came out of the
box without any mark on them
whatever, and another failed to
cross the two marks at the head of
the ticket. When men of average
intelligence fail to vote ballot, it
is time for less cumberson form )
to be adopted. The voters assist
ant is an absolute necessity with 2
the present form of ballot, for in
telligent voters, as we'll as for the Y
gnorant man; but lets have simple
orm of voting and abolish the
blanket ballot Registration of
-oters, and placing the board of -'
anvas with the courts has been a >,
reat benefit TO the people, by 9r
ringing about peace and good
rder, and dIspelling the tempta- Isl
on for partizan returning boards to 2n
cal elections now lets have bet
+ ballot.
