MExIco's ELECTION.


Mexico recently held its first real
election in thirty4Ave years. True
there were periodic affairs called cleo
tions-but tney were occasions OF
ballot by order rather than by free
dom of choice. Diaz would nominate
himself and then order the voters to
eject the nominee. While he occupied
the presidency, or rather the dictator
ship. they voted as they were ordered.
In many districts nobody took the
trouble Of opening the polls.
The election. however. presented q
change from previous conditions
but how much Of a change 1t was Ia
still matter Of doubt.
On the favorable side may be count
ed the fact that the ballot was open
and there were plenty Of polling plac-
ed, On the other side there was no.
table scarcity Of presidential candi-
dates FOR which To ballot.
The open ballot as employed by
Mexico is interesting. whenever a
person casts his vote 1t was placed In
the ballot box inside the polIs--and
then recorded on a bulletin board out
side. Hence everybody could see how
the election was going just like a
score Ok baseball by innings. should
such 8 scheme be adopted in this
country the election scoreboard--fol
one day~Tnight eclipne In interest tbs

thing that gives the lovers Or political
