Voters as rule don't call for stick
ers, do they, asked Senator Durgin OF
Piscataquis, a member Of the commit
tee.
Yes, / sometimes think they Go.
replied Mr.. Hersey
The Opposition
Speaker Trafton Of the House asked
President Eersey. through the chair,
if il was true that Massachusetts was
asking for a reform in its ballot and
that men with names beginning with
date letters or the alphabet like him
self did not suffer at the polls.
President Hersey replied that the
fault, or at least one fault with tue
Massa chusetts ballot, was that man
would vote for governor, lieutenant
governor. senators and by the time he
got down as far as to vote for repre-
sentative he would he tired and for
get to vote, but this opposition has not
affected the voting in Massachusetts
so much in the past few years as IN
the previous years.
They can swap and dicker with
votes under the Massachusetts, ballot
law. can they not" asked Senator Dur
gin of PiscataQuis.
oh, yes" said President Hersey, \
suppose they can. in fact they can
swap and dicke- under the primary
lev in this Site.
In So States
When asked about ballot laws Of
other states, President Hersey said
mat TIE one in operation in the State
or Oregon vas a disgru ce to the coun-
Try. but that the Massachusetts, sys-
TEN had been adopted in IS states and
was very successful
Speaker Trafton told the committee
that he believed that we ought to have
= tallot which would accommodate the
average man. and he thought that II
was 4 hardship TO compel man TO go
into a booth and mark cross after
- or % names. Perhaps the present
~ Is Tot perfect" said Speaker Traf-
ION. but it is far better than the Mas
sachusetts ballot"
Senator Edward F. F9aherty of Cum
berland county opposed the bill. say
ing that he believed that the present
law was better by far than that If
Massachusetts. He thought that the
Maine ballot system was one of the
best in the country, but of course like
everything else, it is not perfect. Sena-
tor Flaherty averred that in the last
election hel1 in Massa $4,000
men voted for all the five candidates
for governor.
Dominique Matthew, city clerk OF
Augusta, said that he did not think
that the expression Of the voters could

GEORGIA M00NSHINER
ON HIS way TO JAIL
Pleads Guilty Each Year, but
Allowed to Make a Crop.

Savannah, Ga.-The time is at hand
for the annual pilgrimage Of the
Georgia moonshiner. Today he is up
In the bills, tomorrow he will be tried
and sentenced, the day after he will
be planting his crop in the hills again,
the next, setting out for the county Jail
to serve his sentence.
"'Bout time for cot, M'ria," he will
say to his wife. "Guess I'll be ambli4'.
Don't forgit to git out them ploW-
shares, an If any revenoos come aroun'
keep 'em off the trail to the still"
No deputy manacles his wrists; no
prison guard comes for him. But the
old man has received the summons Of
the United States court to appear and
answer to charge Of violating the
federal law against the illicit manu-
facture and sale Of liquor.
And so the old man shoulders his
gun and sets out from his cabin in the
hills and tramps down the mountain
side to the railroad station twenty
miles away. Next week he gets up
before Judge William T. Newman of
Atlanta or Judge Emory Speer Of Sa-
vannah and pleads guilty.
"Six MONTHS" says the Judge.
The old man signs and remarks, I'D
like mighty well ter go back an make
crap, jidge."
The Judge knows that up in the hills
the old woman and the old mans fam
lily Of sturdy mountain lads and lassies
are dependent on the "crap" for living
through next winter. So he says, "Go
back and make your crop and report to
the jail on Sept. t."
The old man strides to the railroad
station, catches the first train for home
and tramps the twenty miles up Into
the hills again.
Winter will be breaking in the hills,
and for weeks to come he will be busy
planting the crop Of corn. Day after
day he will Chamber up the rugged
path. hitch the gray mule to the plow
and turn the burrows Of his little patch.
One day he looks into the almanac
and says to his wife:
me an tn boys are of to jail ter.
morrow"
The next day he swings down thu
trail. to the railroad station: twenty
miles away. AS his head drops below
the brink Of the path he calls back:
"See yer In Their spring, Of woman!'
And the next week he Is swapping
cut plug with the deputy at the jail,
having reported to the turnkey's Office.
