Second Choice Proposition.
(statesnan)

Some time ago the Statesman
called attention to a claim that If the
second choice were not indicated on
the primary ballot the vote for the
first choice would not be counted-in
other words. that the ballot would be
thrown out so far as the vote for
any candidate did not also show sec
ond choice. This claim rests upon
the reading of the new primary bal
lot as it is described in the new law:
Instructions: Mark only your
party ticket Vote for both first
and second choice If there are
more than twice as many candi-
dates as there are positions.
Putting it another way, if there
are more than two candidates for any
Office, the voter is instructed" to
indicate both his first and second
choice; and, according to the construc-
ton referred to. if one shall fail to
indicate a second choice. his first
choice vote would not be counted.
Could any conclusion be more
absurd?
1t is absurd from legal standpoint
and it is absurd from the standpoint
of common justice and common
sense.
If the instructions" carried in the
law-like fine print on the insurance
policy-are mandatory, instead, as
the Statesman believes, simply adj
visory. then a voter is compelled to
vote once for his first choice and
possibly once against him by indicat-
ing a second choice. He is possibly
compelled to indicate as his second
choice some man regards as wholly
untitled for the position.
And if he does not indicate this
second choice the claim is made that
under the instructions his vote will
be thrown OUT
No matter how plainly he may have
indicated who he wanted for governor
of his state. his vote will be dis
carded if he has not also indicated
some other preference!
What court could support such a
construction of franchise rights under
the common law or under any other
on the books?
1t is all right to give the voter
the option of designating a second
choice; it would be outrageous to in
validate his vote if he should indicate
only a first choice
