SENATOR MURTHA

Whole Election System Needs
Overhauling and Remodel
ing, He Declares

I'm in favor OF the short ballot.
said State Senator James Murtha. who
is watching the suffrage recount in
the interest or the Staatverband De
troit.
Senator Murtha believes that many
OF the errors discovered in the booth
count o: the constitutional amendment
we're due to the fact that the officials
were exhausted with the court OF the
huge city and county ballots, which
included Offices OF which many people
never heard, and other ofices In
which they take little or no interest.
Although the law requires that con
stitutional amendments be counted
fret. little attention was paid TO thls
prov ision, and In most cases the con
stitutional amendments were the last
to be counted.
IL don't believe" Senator Murtha
continued, that a man should lose his
vote because OF the negligence OF an
election official. In the precincts
where the ballots were not initiated.
Ii does not seem TO me right that the
voters lose their ballot 1t Is evident
that they had no intention Of commit
ting fraud. The fault was that of the
official, not Of the voters.
The whole proposition shows the
need OF thorough overhauling OF the
election laws and their simplifica-
ton"
