No RICHARDS Law THERE.

In those Mexican elections they had n' such handy
little form Of procedure rs we are to learn all about when
the Richards law gets going. Political life down there is
most informal. Dispatches tell of the election methods as
follows:
The polling places Of which there were said to be 92s,
averaging one to a city block, were located in the entrances
OF buildings generally, but in some instances we're set up
on the sidewalks or on corners OF public squares. Each
had d table on which were spread the tickets Of the various
cAldllateS. From these the voter made his selection,
signed, folded, and delivered it to the president, who de-
posted it in the ballot box.
Ballot boxes consisted of all sorts of receptacles, from
a paSt"hoard shoe box TO Il plush covered Jewel casket, or
a glass jar borrowed from a neighboring drug store.
AS the vote was deposited the voters name was checked
on the registration list, previously prepared through per
sonal visits of a designated official to the houses in his
jurisdiction. 1T was not left to the volition of the eligible
citizen to register; his name was on the list if he was en-
Titled by residence, age, and other requirements to cast Il
vote.
