To Facilitate Counting Of Votes.

Denver-Two sets OF judges and
two sets of clerks are to be installed
at voting places during election here
after, if bill being prepared by Rep
resentative Williams of Denver is
rassed. Williams contends that the
present system of counting the ballots
is not what it should be, and that by
his system the counting will be great
ly facilitated and the returns Will
come in within reasonable time after
the count is started. Il have seen aged
men and women who have acted as
judges and clerks, sit up for twenty
four to thirty-six hours at stretch,
and sometimes longer. half dead for
sleep, in order to carry out their du-
ties as required by law. By having
two sets of these officers of election
they can take turns and the cost will
not be increased, inasmuch as the
count can be completed in half the
time in which one set can do the
work"
