COUNT BALLOTS IN
EACH WARD IS
PROPOSAL
REP. COLBY SUGGESTS MoolFl-
CATION OF PRESENT SYSTEM
THAT WOULD MAKE FOR SPEED
AND ACCURACY.

Rep. Sheridan ]. Colby has a
scheme for Simplifying the country or
votes In elections.
The central counting board Is too
large and unwieldy 10 get reasonably
quick results or proper supervision ana
inspection of the work OF counting,
;laG costs about twice what II should
ii competent help could be obtained
ana be properly instructed and super
yised,' says Mr.. Colby.
ITO return TO the OF. system OF
counting in the booths is undesirable
because II has been demonstrated that
IL is impossible TO get competent in
spectors elected; the booths are not
properly lighted; board which has
been on duty all day Is not physically
1T TO count votes until midnight or
after. and, in the case of primary,
for day or two without sleep: the
work Is SO scattered out that II Is I'M
possible TO get enough competent and
honest witnesses To prevent frauds,
10 say nothing about the mistakes
caused by ignorance Of the board; II
1t were possible 10 get enough com
petent witnesses, II would be so ex'
pensive that no candidet9 could stand
the expense unless he were million
aire or the son of one.
The plan 10 make more districts
by reducing the number of electors la
each to about $50 Is both imprac Lcal
and undesirable, because II woulo
more than double the expense Oh he
election 10 the taxpayer and the can
didate. and We all know they are now
two or three times as high as they
should be TO both; and further, IL
would only make IL so much harder
TO get enough competent and honest
men TO do the work. and IL would be
impossible for candidates TO get
enough witnesses TO watch the count.
Il believe what we want as sys-
TEN about half way between the two,
along the lines of the bill passed by
the house of representatives two
years ago, but not acted upon in the
senate. This proposed the selection
OF one central place In each ward In
some hall. school or other suitable
place for counting all the votes or
that ward, ALLOWING the council to
group two wards II thought desirable
In any case. II provides for board
OF supervisors of elections. similar to
the present counting board, but with
as many deputies as there are wards.
The central board could instruct and
supervise their deputies in each ward
so that the counting would be uniform,
and this deputy could also have charge
Of the conduct OF the election In his
ward, and see that 1t Is conducted ac-
cording to law. which Is seldom the
case HOW Tho clerks should be APP
pointed by the central board or the
deputy. or both under civil service IL
possible.
With this system, the election dis
tricts could be made even larger than
at present. thus saving a considerable
expense TO taxpayers and TO candi-
dates, for witnesses and challengers,
and the different deputies would have
TO see that the work was done with
reasonable speed In order to make
favorable comparison with other
wards. and | believe II would put the
whole matter on a business basis that
would be a great improvement"
