COUPON
Ballot System May Be Adopt
ed In Ohio
Instead Of Marking Voter
DetaCheS Names
OF Candidates For Whom He
Wishes To Vote
columbus Dispatch)

Senate bill rs introduced by Senator
Bore which provides for the use of the
Wisconsin coupon ballot at elections
in Ohio, was reported out for passags
in the senate Wednesday and made a
special order for Tuesday next at 8
O'clock.
1t is believed that the bill will pass
the senate Tuesday without opposi-
ten. The ballot has been considered
personally, with 25 or more members
Of the senate, nearly all of whom seem
70 be satisfied with the many good
features of the proposition.
Although but two days will remain
fer consideration of the measure by
the house as body, there is much
reason to expect its passage there al
20. The plan has the active support
Of many party leaders on both sides
as well as that Of the governor.
This system of voting was first used
at the last election in Wisconsin,
where it originated. 1t is indorsed by
the strongest kind of letters from
state officers and party committeeman
of both parties, where it was used
According to these letters, election re-
turns can be secured In less than hall
the time taken to count ballots under
the old method
The coupon ballot is also admitted
to be practical, fraud proof method
of voting which is even more secret
than the present form of the ballot
According to newspaper articles print
ed in Wisconsin, 70 per cent of the
voters who used the coupon ballot
split their tickets and there were less
than one-tenth of the usual number OF
defective ballots"
Instead of marking the names in
any manner the voter detaches those
he wishes to vote for from the whole
ballot and places them into small
folder. He also puts the remaining
part of the ballot into another larger
envelope, thus practically voting in
duplicate.
The part of the ballot placed in the
small folder is all that will come be
fore the local election board for it's at
tention as the seal placed on the large
envelope when it is voted is not tc
be broken by any one except the cour,
in case of a recount in contest.
The ballot is SO perforated that 6
whole party sheet can be torn out cas-
lily or any single name can be de
tached. The voter cannot make mis-
take because whatever he puts into
the small envelope will be simply tt
determine his choice from.
In Wisconsin, it is claimed, that vot
ers voted much faster than under the
old method because of the simplicity
of the method, as high as 70 and 81
votes being cast per hour during busy
hours of the election.

Remnants OF badly frayed rats, were
mute testimonials OF fierce female
fight which was waged Wednesday
night about 8 o'clock, on the lawn IN
front Of the county court house, at
the very feet of the goddess Of justice.
AS that lady has all her abundant
locks, she evidently is not the owner
of the rats which are lying on the
grass plot beneath the treasurer's
window today. The lonely little rats
are of brown shade which would in.
dicate they do not belong to blonde.
Stories leaked out Thursday morn
ing of fight between two girls We'd
nesday night. just as the Ashland car
came in. A crowd, estimated at from
200 to 300 people sprang up as If by
magic and the interurban car was
stopped that the passengers might
have the benefit of witnessing street
fight in Mansfield. The girls who are
designated as little one and big
one, each with wad of hair as big
as bale of hay, more or less, select
ed the grass plot at the northwest cor
ner OF the court house, to settle q
little difference as to the social stand
ing of each other. The story as re
lated by witness, is that the big girl
got the little girl down, and began
pounding her. A humane spectator
separated the lady combatants and
the little one was evidently not
through with her for she grabbed the
departing antagonist by the hair, sear-
ing out great wads of it.
The little one seemed to prize he"

but in her haste did not get all the

was pummelling the little one. she
emphasized each blow with, "You will
talk about me, will you?" A gentle
man friend of the corpulent lady lei
