MAY ELECTION.
Important Points To Be Remem-
bered At Commission
Election.

The following synopsis OF require
ments and outline OF procedure for the
first election of commissioners May 20
have been prepared for the public
by Charles w. Varnum, an attorney,
who has studied the subject thoroughly
and is an authority on the municipal
code:
Hereafter there are but seven elective
, officials of the city, and six of them are
to he elected next May, the five com
missioners and the auditor.
Nominations of Candidates.
There will be six officials to be elect
ed next May.
commissioner of property for two
years.
A commissioner of finance for four
years.
commissioner of safety for four
years.
commissioner of improvements for
our years
A commissioner of social welfare for
two years.
An auditor for four years.
Candidates can be named only by pc
tition.
The only way to nominate candi-
date is by the filing with the election
commission of a hundred separate petit
tions-each separately signed and
sworn to.
Each voter can sign but one nomina-
ton petition for each Office to be filled.
These petitions must be filed between
April 20 and 80, and the candidates ac-
ceptance must be filed within five days
after the filing of the petition.
The form of the petition is set out
| in the charter.
Such nomination petitions can be Sc
cured free of charge from the election
commission.
The campaign for election of officials
will then properly commence with the
filing of petitions on April 20. and from
then on the following chronology may
be found to be helpful.
April 2o-First day for filing nomina-
tions
April sO-Last day for filing nomina-
be fled within five days after the filing
May 5-Last day for filing with
drawals.
May 1o-sample ballots must be dis
trihuted.
May Collection day.
Manner of Voting.
The charter amendments present a
new system of balloting which viii pre-
sent some novel and most interesting
features.
1-Ihere VIII De no party OF olnei
designations on the ballot-nothing but
the name of the Office and the names OF
the candidates.
Each voter may vote as follows for
candidates for each Office:
(a) First choice-For one candidate.
tbl Second choice-For one candidate.
(Not for the same candidate).
tc) Other choices-For as many can
didaies as he desires-except that he
cannot vote again for those for whom
he cast his first and second choice
votes.

First Second Other
Chnical ChniceL Choices

AS viii be seen there are ten candi-
dates and one to be elected.
The voter who marked his ballot as
above voted. first that Holmes should
be elected. second. that Sullivan should
be elected. and failing the election Of
either of these. that either Burns. De
yinney. Larsen. o'Connell or Wilson
should be elected but he was opposed to
the election under any circumstances of
either Finnerty. johnson or Kilgore.
Suppose 59.999 votes were cast. 10000
would be a majority and a candidate
must receive 10000 votes TO be elected.
II no candidate received 10000 first
choice votes. the second choice votes
would be canvassed and added TO the
first choice votes.
If any candidate then had $4,000 votes.
he would be elected texcept that il more
than one had 10000 votes. then the one
receiving the largest number of votes
would be declared elected.
II no candidate received $4,000 first
and second choice votes, then the other
choices would be canvassed and added
to the first and second choice votes and
the candidate who then received the
highest number of first. second and
other choice votes would be declared
elected.
The voter might vote. if he so desired.
for but first choice. or for but first
and second choice. or he might vote for
under other choices for all the candi-
dates for whom he had not cast his first
and second choice votes.
II will thus be seen that the voter
under this system may be wholly impair
tial and vote for all his friends-and
enemies. too. for that matter-the only
difference being that he must vote for
but one first and but one second choice.
but he may vote as many other choices
as he wishes.
The theory is that the voter shall
state his first and second choices and
then in the column "Other Choices" vote
for all of the candidates whom he would
be willing to see elected to the office IL
he cannot get his first or second choice
and that he shall put no mark opposite
the names of those candidates whom he
does not desire to have elected under
any circumstances.
If voter should. by mistake or in
|tentionally. vote for the same candidate
choices. 1t will not spoil his ballot, but
II must be counted for but one choice
and. of course. for the highest choice
voted.
II voter should vote for two persons
for first or second choice. his ballot
would. of course. not be counted for that
choice. but. IL correctly marked other
wise. would be counted for other candi-
dates.
No money may be spent except FOR
holding public meetings and printing and
distributing literature"
Not more than 81 900 may be spent
directly or indirectly in the interests of
any one candidate.
No person may be hired to work at
the polls.
No carriage or other vehicle may be
hired for use at the polls.
1t is sincerely TO be hoped that every
voter In Denver may become perfectly
familiar with these and other provisions
of our new charter.
