Editor Times:
Dear Sir--On reading letter of
Harry Hall in issue of 26th inst,
] was reminded of a plan, most
simple, efficient and economical,
that will provide means for vot-
ing whereby the machine politi-
clans can no longer cinch and in
suit the independent citizen by. re-
quiring him to make a public dec
laration of his vote.
therefore beg to amend Mr..
Halls motion, so that the blanket
ballot be abolished, as follows:
Cut out all except one column of
blanket ballot and allow no names
of candidates on ballot whatso-
ever, merely the names Of offices
to be filled and In place of name
of candidate leave a dash. Now,
to vote this ballot, in the voting
booth have legible cards printed
containing the names of offices
and also names of candidates.
These cards will be similar In ar
rangement to the present form of
ballot There will be the name
OF the office and beneath that the
name of the candidate or candi-
dates. and to each candidates
name will be attached a number.
This number is the magician that
works the change and dumfounds
the machine politician.
The names of candidates may
be herded, as at present, ana
the name of the political machine
TO which they are subject used to
distinguish them from subjects of
other political machines, /. e.: the
candidates on card OF republican
machine may be numbered from
u to IS. the candidates on card of
socialist machine IT to 80. the
democrat machine 33 to as, etc.
In addition to these cards, there
may also be card with names
OF offices and numbers. but no
names of candidates, so that II
q citizen desires to vote for a per-
son not named on the machine
party cards he may do 80 by
merely writing name of person
he desires to vote for upon the
card reserved for expression OF the
voters viii.
Now let us vote. We obtain our

down the cards, choose our can
didate and in place of cross in
sert his number until we have
got our ballot filled in. That is
all, and the ballot is voted.
Now we come to the counting.
The presiding officers reads the
name of office and then gives the
number, then the clerk allows one
vote. to name corresponding to
number. etc.
Now, let us remember that
the form of ballot used in each
precinct is exactly similar to
those used in every precinct in the
state. thus effecting a saving in
printing of scores of thousands of
dollars and providing the free
citizen with a genuine DREAD

l don't see the necessity for
having the cards in the booth, for
/ dare say that the intelligent
class of voters would provide
themselves with full data for fill
ing in the ballot prior to going to
the polls. Anyhow, the cost of
printing the cards ought not to
exceed, say. three-quarters of a
cent to each score OF voters.
In conclusion, I am aware that
the "machinists" will bitterly op-
pose this "strenuously cranky
Innovation" and may even class it
as unconstitutional and on. a par

ONO MAN rs GREAT. .

No man is great enough to know
Or tell us when and how
This earth became the habitat
OF lives sojourning now.
No man is great enough to know
The UNIVERSAL TRUTH,
The myst'ry of the endless deep,
Nor find the balm to soothe
The aching heart, the troubled
mind,
The misery Of men:
Nor show US how to bring the dead
To mortal life again.
No man is great, tho sweIled with

And snowy arrogance

Stands just as good a chance.
No man is great enough to use
His piles OF yellow gold
To bride the Mighty Architect
Who fashioned his clay mold.

four years would quickly pass,
that Potter might have another
chance.
In the sixth month of his vow
Hick. who by this time resembled
a wild Bornian, was aroused one
night by an insistent knocking at
the door. Presenting himself, he
was seized, thrown, gagged and
bound, and carried by a band of
men, led by trim, slender figure,
to the barber shop. Lights were
procured, and while two strong
men held Hick, Tompkins, the
barber, laid low the patriarch's
beard, the duello mustachios and
the medicine-man hair. Hick
emerged from the chair clean and
rosy as young Ganymede.
He was at once confronted by
the slender leader. "Hick," said
a silvery voice, we've broken
your VOW for you, and you're re-
leased. Are you going to be SEN
sible, Or"
Hick was going to be eminently
sensible, as might be deduced
from the fact that he clasped Ell

Stop" interrupted Elsie May.
What right have you to be wag-
efing something that belongs to

And Hick withdrew the bet.

The campaign went as cam

parades in which Hick held BAN

of Taylor.
On the night of the election
Hick and Pete nervously watched

Hick let out a dismal groan.
Pete grinned broadly.
