and others interested. The acts
passed by the 1915 legislature re-
garding primaries, party ballots and
the voting of absent electors had so
badly twisted matters VI that the
average clerk was at sea.
Among the matters which one or
the other Of the departments ruled
upon were the following:
Village caucuses must be held no
later than March IA. This is made
necessary 10y the absent voters act.
Ballots must be printed by March
20 in order that they can be sent to
absent voters and returned within
the limit
The elections for national COM
mitteemen and the presidential can
didates in April. although held on
the same day, are two separate cleo
tions and will require separate bal
lots and separate returns. The Secre-
tary of state will instruct after
March / as to these. with the sub
mission of sample ballots approved
by the attorney general.
The absent voters law does not
do away with the use of voting ma

chimes. This question was asked on
