Why Califorhia's Vote Is Slow.
Incinnati Times-Star.

CINCINNATI llmeS-Star.
The delay in counting the presi-
Dental vote in California. and the re-
suit of such count. may be partly ex-
planned by the character OF the bal
lot or ballots offered for the consid-
Grafton of Californians. In San Fran
cisco, for instance. the electorate not
only voted for National and State
officials. but passed on numerous and
more or less important State and To-
cal measures. The seventh State
measures included prohibition in two
phases; state highway bonds; direct
primary law; single tax: prohibiting
State legislators holding other offices,
and the State highway amendment.
After having decided these momen-
tous questions, the voter turned to
things more parochial. Twenty-six
municipal questions confronted the
citizens as he unfolded his ballot. We
give them according to their titles,
that the reader may appreciate the
extenuating circumstances surround
ing the San Francisco voter in the
last election: street speaking; jit-
neys; city attorneys salary: preferen-
tial elections; appointment of police
judges; salaries of police judges; tax
refund; hours of work and pay; pub
lie aquarium; control of firemen's
pensions; control of police pensions:
police pension tax: increase of treas
urer's salary: special land tax; sale
of school lots; safeguarding initia-
tive; referendum and recall; con-
tractors bonds; street work changes;
street work procedure; deposit OF
public funds: extension Of civil ser
vice; department of weights and
measures: police judges elective; in

Representative John ]. Fitzgerald

an embargo on food stuffs. Con-
