THE BRITISH ELECTION.

The British election will be held be-
fore long, but 1t will not be- begun and
ended in day like a Presidential
election in the United states. The
English law provides that the polling
must end in the ordinary boroughs
on January 10 and in the counties and
district boroughs on January 2S. Poll
ing can begin as early as January
IA IN the ordinary boroughs and I'm the
counties and district boroughs as early
as January rs.
There are disadvantages I'm an cleo
ton held in this desultory way. Long
ago they We're demonstrated in the
United States and avoided. In the
early '40's the conviction BECAME uni-
Nersal that fraudulent voting was en-
couraged by the holding of protract-
ed elections. Particular instances
were alleged in which raft-Ioads of
men had been taken down the Ohio
river, voting at points on both banks
all the way from Pennsylvania 10
Tennessee. and casting enough bal
lots TO cut a considerable figure i'm the
result. For more than sixty years
American Presidential elections have
been held on n single day throughout
the Union, and it would be- impossible
TO induce the American people 20 re-
turn to the former system, which

crude crime of fraudulent voting is not
