BATTLE FOR
NON-PARTISAN
BALLOT ON AGAIN
Petitions Circulated For Charter
Amendment Very Similar
to One Defeated

Frederick b. Ingram has drawn up
a charter amendment providing for a
non partisan preferential ballot for
city elections, similar In nearly every
respect to that proposed in the de-
feated charter Copies OF the amend
ment, in the form OF petition TO the
common council for its submission,
have been printed, ana can be obtain
ed from Mr.. Ingram or from &. 5. Bea-
die & Son, No McGraw building.
II will take 5000 signatures to have
the amendment submitted to the peo-
pie In the next regular election, and
1000 to have IL submitted In a spe-
cial election. Mr.. Ingram believes
that il will be a simple matter to get
5000 signatures. Whether a special
election will be asked for, will depend
on the amount OF enthusiasm which
the proposed amendment creates. Civic
organizations and citizens interested
in election reform can secure copies OF
the petition from Mr.. Ingram or Mr..
Beadle.
The proposed election scheme is
based on the system used In Cleve-
land. The Cleveland Law has been
tested in the Ohio supreme court and
has been found constitutional.
The Ingram amendment, unlike the
charter, speaks OF primaries, which
shall De by petition. Nomination for
mayor is to require 500 signatures: for
other candidates at large, 200 Tor
ward candidates, 100: for district can.
didates, the candidates own sigma
ture. The affidavit. declaring that the
candidate IL not supported by any po-
litical party which was declared to be
an Illegal feature OF the charter. Is
eliminated from the Ingram amend.
ment The hours or election are
made from to . o'clock. az In the
charter. The preferential ballot is pro
vided for, with spaces for first
choice" second choice and "other
choices" and the voter Is allowed To
vote for one less than the number OF
candidates for each office. In other
ways. the proposed amendment fol.
lows the charter quite closely The
amendment takes UP u printed pages.
