Governor Gates has signed the bill
providing for election OF town repre-
sentatives OH the third ballot by plur-
atty vote. The law clears up the
doubt over the law of 1912 providing
for election on the fourth ballot and
is one step nearer allowing plurality
to elect on the first ballot where it is
placed by most states. The first bal
lot is usually the fullest expression of
the actual views of the voters and it
ought to be made decisive.

The House on Thursday wisely
killed Hapgood's bill to eliminate the
square at the top of the column on
election ballots, but the vote was so
close that there is danger of an at
tempt TO revive the measure. The
change proposed by Hapgood would
merely disfranchise a number OF de-
cent, respectable voters who were I'M
fortunate in not getting any educa-
ton in their early years. The fact
that it would also disfranchise few
dishonest and corruptible voters is
not advantage enough to warrant the
injury it would do to others. The bill
is an unjustiiled attempt to put the
control OF elections into the hands Of
the so called Intelligent" classes.
