THE New BALLOT BOXES From the Ken
nebec Journal it appears that the new uniform
State ballot boxes are to be shipped to the
town and city clerks within few days, and
that the secretary of state is sending out to
the clerks letter of instruc tions by which
they will learn that within twenty -four hours
after the close of the election they must ship
all the ballots cast at his offce in sealed pacA-
ages. This will give scant time for making
the returns, and no time to inspect the ballots
in case of dispu ted election. If anybody wants
to see the ballots, he will have to go to Au-
gusta. What the voters were thinking to en-
dorse this ballot act on the referendum is hard
to say, but it is safe to predict that it will be
repealed within few years.
