Waste on Ballots.

It is Interesting to note that although
$4,000 ballots were printed for the pri-
mary. only $500 were used. This ap-
parent waste could in no way be pre-
vented. Under the law, the county
clerk must provide in each precinct
ballots TO the amount of twice the
votes cast at the previous election
Since the former balloting. precinct
changes were made throughout the
county which made it impossible to
figure the voting strength of each cleo
ton district so that County Clerk Hub
bard was forced TO use his own best
judgment and depended largely upon
the procedure in the past.
