A BALLOT THAT PUZZLES
PEOPLE.

Not quite One-eighth CT the ballot
boxes have been opened up In the ju-
dicial recount Instituted to ascertain
the truth Of Hearst's contention that
he has been defrauded Of the mayor
ality election which resulted In the
seating Of Mcclellan. and the total
gains OF tho contestant thus far are
only 337 votes. Since McClellan's Of
flcialiy declared plurality was 3,474. 1t
10 evident. therefore. that even II this
percentage shall be obtained. he will
still retain his seat.
Indications OF wilfui and deliberate
abuse of the law do not seem to have
Teen numerous in the examination OF
the ballots to the present time; but
there has been abundant proof of the
diflculty which many voters have
found In legally expressing their wish
es by making the required marks on
tho cumbersome and complicated
sheet which has been adopted in New
York as wei! as In Virginia and other
states. Errors OF this sort have been
plentiful on both sides, sometimes
taking the form Of marks which were
different from the simple cross de-
handed by the law. sometimes
amounting merely to pencil strokes
which extended outside the square.
and not intsequently comprehending
extra MARKS, or those placed wrongly.
which under a strictly constitutional
construction, invalidate the ballot.
though the intention Of the voter Is
plain.
This demonstration. afforded before
the eyes Of vigilant court Is Of In
terest In every commonwealth where
the sheet ballot Is in vogue. BY max
Ing the process Of voting diflicult for
unskllled hands instead Of simple
and easy as 1t should be. the chances
Of mistakes have been largely multi
piled. Yet the whole theory Of popG
lar sufirase Is based on the idea that
every duly qualified voter shall have
the right TO express his convictions
and register his choice In the most
direct and effective manner that Is
practicable.
