CLOSE THE POLLS EARLIER.

The greatest reform needed in our present
election laws is the closing of the polls at an
earlier hour at night New Jersey is one of
the few states in the Union that allows men
to vote as late as z O'Clock In New York
state the polls close at 5 o'clock. This hour is
becoming more and more popular throughout
the union and New Jersey should get in line.
When the suggestion is made that the polls
close at O'Clock the cry is Immediately
raised that the man who is compelled to work
on election day will not have an opportunity
to cast his ballot. This argument fails from
