the Massachusetts System, the Austria
liam ballot system, what the percentage
of votes is there which are defective?
Mr.. LOONEY: / am about to touch
upon that, il you will pardon me few
moments.
Some time before the Legislature con-
vened, l had an interview with the AS
sistant Secretary of State of Massachu-
sets, who is the ballot expert of that
state, and the Chairman of the cleo
ton commission of the City of Boston
Both of those gentlemen assured me
that not only was the Massachusetts
system acceptable to the people of that
state but that the people We're heartily
ana enthusiastically in favor of it
Both of them told me that rarely, il
ever, do they hear of a ballot thrown
which is totally defective and very
rarely, although sometimes, a ballot is
thrown which is partially defective
Mr.. MinOugh, the Chairman of the
Election Commission of the city of
Boston, told me that, at the last State
election in Massachusetts,, in the City
Of Boston 10000 ballots were cast, and
that among that 1000 ballots thrown
not one was entirely defective; and he
said he did not know Of any that were
partially defective. Gentlemen, how do
you explain the difference between the
system in Massachusetts and the sys-
tenn in Maine? Is it because the voters
in Boston, where they say there is a
large proportion of foreigners, are more
intelligent than the voters in the cities
and towns of Maine? No. The reason
is not because the voters in Maine are
less intelligent and more illiterate, as
a great many of the friends of the
Maine ballot say, but because of the

1T seemed so to the other members who
signed this adverse report, that we
should not at this time make the
change. OF course, I understand from
tbs; examples to which the senator
from Cumberland has referred, namely,
to the example in Kennebec county
and the example in York county, it is
certainly sure tlrat wherever the Tas-
mania dodge takes place, it must have
taken place with the connivance of cor
rupt officials; and / cannot possibly
understand, with my limited Informal
ton as TO this, why if the officials
We're elected in this way, this same
dodge could not take place under this
Massachusetts ballot Certainly in
York county, in order for them to get
a start, a corrupt city clerk or town
clerk must be furnished sample bal
lots with which to start
My brother Looney admits that in
order to manipulate this Massachu-
sets ballot safely and to have it work
surely we must change and make over
orr present form of booths. Now, af-
ter years of experience and trial, the
present form of voting booth was
adopted. We have barely given it a
fair trial, and the, proposition now is
to change that and to put up an open
booth. These booths have been ar
ranged and constructed at great ex-
pense by the different towns
and cities, and certainly a
change would be attended by
an expense not inconsiderable
I certainly hope that the motion of the
gentleman from Cumberland will not
prevail; and when the vote is taken
I move that it be taken by the yeas
and nays.

WIN AND LOSE

the Mines of this city each won a
game in the series played unday and
Monday. The first game started out
as though it was going to be good
swift game. Parsons was in the
box for the locals and was pitching
his usual good game. After few
balls had been thrown in the first
inning Richards was hit with foul
tip and his hand badly cut, and re-
tired in favor Of Mabee, who caught
a good game. Parsons was invincible
for seven innings, not hit being
made off his delivery. In the seventh
a couple of hits and several errors
netted the visiting team three runs
after which they never saw third
base. Following is the score by in
n;nTS:
Cordoves- 0 o 0 0 0 0 O-3

Batteries, Mines Parsons, Richards

The game scheduled for Monday
morning had to be called off on ac-
court Of rain. In the afternoon the
players of both teams with wheel
bar-ows, rakes and brooms fixed up
the grounds enough to enable them
to play the afternoon game. Only
six innings We're played as the visi-
tors had to catch the afternoon train
for home. At the end of the sixth
the score stood 10 to in favor of
the Denver boys. The game was play
ed in drizzling rain and good
game could net be expected in such
weather. The features Of the game
We're the fielding and batting of
Woods of the local team. In four
times at bat he secured three hits
one q home run (the first home run
made in years on the local ground)
and also made a sensational running
catch in center field. Manager Nc
Sullough states that the boys did
fair considering the weather and re-
ports that the team came out about
even in the financial part of the
series. The Arvada team will play
here Sunday and as the Arvada boys
have a pretty fine reputation this
year another good game can be ex-
pected. Don't fail to patronize the
