"A particular party-say Republican for
illustration. Now nobody would know
who made this mark. The ballot
would lie entirely secret, but after the
voter had so marked his ballot desig-
mating himself as a Republican he
would be bound 10 vote for no can

ticket H. however, he did vote for a
man on one of the other tickets he
would inyalidate only that one cross,
those on the Republican ticket being
good.
Another suggestion made is that "a
perforation should be provided be-
tween each party ballot; that the
voter in the booth should tear off the
ticket he desired 10 vote and when NJ
deposited this i'm the ballot box ne

What soap VIII you use TO wash
clothes?
If you insist On weakening your
clothes by boiling them, wearing them out
ny hard-rubbing, putting up with all the
inc0nveniences of hot fires, nauseous
steaming suds and yellow clothes, it
doesn't matter which you use.
But if you want to 90 your washing
comfortably, in cool or lukewarm water,
without hard work and in half the time
then there is only one soap for yOu-and
that soap is FeLs-Naptha.
The reason why is in the different way
Fels-Naptha Soap is made. The results
speak for themselves. Get cake Of

legislation is occupying a large meas

are i'm the hands of the election com
mittees Of both branches bills dealing
with some Of the most important fea-
lures of the election law. The result
OF this session will almost certainly
be simpification of the election laws
and doing away with some of the red
tape.
The primary law is one of the mat
ters to receive most important con-
sideraton. Senator Frank James OF
Houghton has in bills dealing with the
various situations that have arisen in
this important act.
