LAW GIVES EVERY
VOTER FAIR CHANCE
EARLY WORK AT POLLS URGED
BY PRESIDENT LISSNER
Two Hours Is Assured to Each
Workingman on Wednesday,
Without Fear or
Favor

THE Good Government organization
desires to call the attention of the vot-
ers Of Los Angeles. and especially Of
the working people, said President
Lissner yesterday, ITO the fact that
the charter amendment under which
municipal elections are now conducted
in Los Angeles (section 2069) provides
that Any person entitled to vote at
any election held in the city of Los
Angeles shall on the day of such cleo
tion be entitled to absent himself from
any service or employment in which
he is then engaged or employed for the
period Of two consecutive hours be-
tween the time of opening and the
time of closing the polls, and such
voter shall not, because of so absent
ing himself, be liable to any penalty
nor shall any deduction be made on
account of such absence, from his
usual salary or wages
This is a new departure in election
laws and does not apply to any other
city in the state and probably not to
any other city in the United States.
The state law provides that an en-
ploye may absent himself from his
employment at a general election, but
the charter law makes no distinction
as to general elections and provides
that an employe may take two hours
off at any election-general, primary,
bond election or otherwise. There is
no question but what this law is abb
solutely valid and that il gives an en-
ploye a perfect legal right to take
time off to vote without loss of wages.
""At the same time the Good Gov
ernment organization desires to urge
the voters to vote early. On account
of the great length of the ballot at
the primary election and also because
there is no opportunity for straight
ticket voting, as there has been in the
past voters probably will consume
considerably more time than at pre-
vious elections in marking their bal
lots, and those who allow the matter
to go until toward evening probably
will find that there is a long line OF
voters at the polling places, waiting
for an opportunity to vote, and as the
law provides that the polls. must close
at o'clock it may well be that thou
sands of voters will be disfranchised
at this election unless they take time
by the forelock and VOTE EARLY
