, judgeships was passed at the opening Of
the session., the House this morning de-
feated the motion to order to third
reading, House bill 81 introduced by Hap
good Of Peru, which would change the
present method Of ballot voting.
The bill came to the House with fa-
yorable report from the committee on
elections and invoked considerable discus
sion as to its merits, nearly dozen
members speaking for or against the
measure. Lance of Cabot and Hill of
Waterbury opposed the bill on the
ground that it would make more complex
the present system, which in their opin-
ion should not be changed unless to sim
plify it. Moore of Ludlow advocated its
passage saying that the present system
of putting a cross at the top of ticket
enabled men to b. elected on party lines,
when the voters. If they understood the
fmethod. would vote against them. In his
opinion, the bill, which would necessitate
each man being voted for separately
would have a tendency to place better
men in Office, Mr.. Demertt of Duxbury
also spoke for its passage along the
same lines.
Mr.. Hapgood, as father OF the measure.

measure had been passed in the House
