There were 2sss blank ballots sent to
the members OF the association. The bal
loting closed January 81, after a mistake
on the ballot had been rectlfled by send
ing each member Of the association a
new ballot. omaha's majority this year
stands against lie majority last year.
Superintendent Graft says that the re-
lative votes east in Omaha or Lincoln for
the next convention city could not be
asoertained. Douglas county cast sfd
votes and Lancaster 49, but many Of
these were blanks. Each ballot was mum,
bered aud the esnvaSsiug committee re-
ferred TO each number. so that ali vots'

ers an opportunity 10 apply what they
learned while II was fresh In their

Many citizens, desiring to hear the lee
lures, enrolled at the last meeting and
as none but active teachers were entitled
10 vote. this accounted for the large
number Of ballots discarded. A new plan
is being considered next year to eliminate
the heavy work OF counting the ballots
the following year. II Is believed by
several OF the executive committee that
detailed data on each member should be
secured at the date OF enrolment, SO
that ballots would be sent only to those
entitled to vote.
