The new law further provide

The new law further provides that
this "blanket" ballot shall be 80
printed that each party column of
candidates shall alternateI in the first
place at the left side of the ballot. In
this manner, no party ballot will have
the advantage of the "lead" place.
The ballot will be so printed that
a space will be left below the name of
each candidate in which substitute
may be written, if the voter desires to
scratch" his ticket. The voting will
be done as heretofore when the ballots
were printed separately, the voter
being forced to write in his choice of
candidate should he not desire to vote
the straight party ticket.
The new "blanket" ballots also will
prevent the former practice, carried
ON in both the country and the city
districts, of the judges and clerks of
each party counting only their own
party tickets and accepting the
others count as correct. All the
election judges and clerks will have
to examine all the ballots.
The Is constitutional amendments
to be voted on in November will be
printed on separate ballot from that
containing the names of candidates
for office. 1t is feared in so me quar-
ters that this fact may result in many
electors not taking time to vote
separately on these amendments.
