 Among the beneficial legislation that might be enacted by Che Territorial Legislature would be an Australian ballot system requiring registration and providing for a simple method of secret voting. At various times and places .n Alaska lhere have been charges of illegal voting and of the intimidation of voters. The present laws are very loose, and without the necessity Of registering many votes are cast that are not warranted by the facs.

the fingers are exposed to air ana
