SPOKE OF THE BALLOT.
Town Clerk Frank p. Fenton Addresses Members of Die Sesseruns.

The weekly meeting of Die Besse rung was held Thursday afternoon at 11b o'clock in the assembly hall of the Windham High school, Maurice Leonard presiding. The programme was as follows: Violin duet, Messrs. Nichols and Young, accompanied by Miss Jordan; History of the Ballot, Town Clerk Frank P F'enton; piano solo, Miss Knight.
 MT. Fenton, in speaking of the bal lot, Said The ballot is over one thou sand years old, but not the present ballot as we have it, but as the an cients used it in a crude form. As long as 2.000 years ago Greece voted by the ball ballot, and that custom came down through the years in some manner. He spoke of the fraternal ballots. Black balls reject and white balls elect, be careful how you vote, an old admonition commonly used bv all presiding officers.
 After the Revolutionary war and when republican form of govern ment had been formed in the United States the problem of how officials should be elected at once confronted the public. The ballots were very crude, and there were many different methods in vogue in the United States. HInere were almost as many methods as states. counties and towns before the present system was perfected and invented. Under our federal consti- tuition as it exists today a state has no right to prevent an elector from writing his ballot before casting it for his preferences. States individually may direct what the ballot may be. Our state prescribed the present form of ballot five years ago. The speaker next touched upon the electors oath
 explaining it very carefully and re- | beating the exact wording of it. He
 particularly distinguished between tht 1 elector and the voter. Addressing the young ladies in the audience, he said:
 By the time all you young ladies at-
 tain your majority, 21. each one ot
 you will have the full right of an cleo
 tor just as male voters have at pres | ent." He told of the difference be-

GRANDMoTHER's SECRET.
To Darken the Hair and Restore Nat
 ural Color.

It is easier to preserve the color of the hair than to restore it, although it is possible to do both. Our grand mothers understood the secret. They made a sage tea" and their dark, glossy hair long after middle life was due to this fact. Our mothers have gray hairs before they are fifty, but they are beginning to appreciate the wisdom of our grandmothers in using sage tea" for their hair and are fast following suit.
 The present generation has the ad- vantage of the past in that it can get a ready-to- use preparation called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem edy. AS a scalp tonic and color re- storer this preparation is vastly supe- rior to the ordinary sage tea" made by our grandmothers.
 The growth and beauty of the hair depends on healthy condition of the scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy quickly kills the dand- ruff germs which rob the hair of its life, color and lustre, makes the scalp clean and healthy, gives the hair strength color and beauty, and makes 1t grow.

tween a town. state and national election. How the selectmen or town warn the former and only a town clerk the latter in the towns wherein an election Is to take place. In Con necticut only male citizens are cleo tors, but in several states women have the same rights.
 Early Methods Crude.
 In illustrating how crude the early methods of voting were, MT. Fenton exhibited quite a number of the old time form of ballots, including a Co., lonial ballot-a printed one. Before the so-called Australian ballot was prescribed there was no uniformity to the size of the ballot.
 He next explained the sample bal lots that are sent to every town clerk in the state, lucidly explaining how one should vote. party ballot or a split ticket The old and present bal lots were contrasted-the open and secret methods and showed why the former had given away to the latter, as a man now could vote as he pre- ferred without everyone knowing how he voted. A democratic borough bal lot used in 1879 was exhibited.
 The Secret Ballot.
 He continued by saying: After years of struggling we in Connecticut have obtained the secret ballot, the Australian ballot. or an apology for 1t. Other forms of ballots were exhibited that were used in the 70s and sos. The Australian ballot originated in Australia in 1851 and has since been used in that country, and for many years in many other countries throughout the world. It was adopted in England in 1880, and nearly all other countries now use it in some form. The ballot was first used in the United States by the state of Michigan about 15 or 20 years ago. I told MT. Case 1 would explain. this ballot-holding up to view a pink sample ballot-but there are some who maintain that no one can explain 1t. The first year that it was used in this state thousands or defective ballots were thrown out for one reason or another. An excellent interpretation of the ballot was then given very clearly. The procedure of town meeting, the election of offi- cers, etc, was then briefly given.
 The speaker then read the 18th amendment to the constitution and ex- plained its significance with reference to the election of president and plainly demonstrated that the presi- dent is not elected by popular vote of the people-as believed by many-but by electors sitting in the electoral col lege. The entire subject was carefully and understandingly handled and ex- plained. Mr. Fenton concluded his remarks by an explanation of the women's ballots. The speaker was &C., corded a hearty round of applause al the close of his 30 or S5 minute talk.
