Thousands of Blank Ballots.

Last year, when the new ballot was
used for the first time in this state.
said Mr.. Smith, cit was discovered by
the Board of Elections that 6,432 blank
gubernatorial ballots had been cast,
While 1876 voters had failed TO indi-
cate their choice for Lieutenant Gov
ernor.
zone Of the oldest facts revealed in
the recapitulation of the returns as
compiled by the Board of Elections was
that the greatest number Of blanks
were cast for such Offices as held a
place at the bottom of the ballot. Thus
1858 voters neglected TO mark their
ballots for a candidate for Secretary
of state. For the Offices of State En-
gineer and Surveyor and city judge
30 sos and 40.565 blanks were cast, re-
spectively. The candidates for SUI
preme Court were most affected No
less than 51,764 voters failed to mark
their ballots for the TWO judiciary can
didates." ,
Mr.. Smith said that the lack Of
knowledge how properly to mark a
ballot was not confined TO the tene-
ment districts. as last year l,474 voters
in the 23d Assembly District, known as
silk stocking" district, failed to
mark their ballots for Assembly can
didates.
