TO GET RETURNS QUICKER
House Favors Bill Providing for TWO
Sets of Election Judges in
Larger Precincts.

Topeka.-The long wait for election
news and the long grind of the cleo
ton judges and clerks at each pri-
mary and general election in Kansas
will be ended by the present legis
lature. The house of representative
went on record recently in favor of a
bill that would provide a double set
of election judges for all the large pre-
cincts of the state. The first set will
receive ballots the first hour and then
the second set will come on and the
first ones will proceed to count the
ballots cast before them. The ballots
are to be counted each hour on cleo
ton day and the result thus will be
known in all the big precincts within
an hour after the polls are closed
The bill was not completed by the
house and was returned to the cleo
tions committee for further considera-
ton.
