Election Returns

Election Clerk Harold E. Donnell
announced Wednesday that returns
had already been received from nearly
600 of the 635 voting precincts of the
State. The returned ballots are COM
ing in somewhat slower. Only about
$50 municipalities having thus far
sent in their ballots. Mr.. Donnell finds
that frequently in the return OF the
ballots the exact form Of the law Is
not complied with. For instance a
form that is supposed to be placed
on the outside of the box in regard to
the sealing of the box has in several
instances appeared in the envelope
with the election returns instead OF
in its proper place. The ballots re-
turned are supposed to be all of the
first set, yet in some instances only
those used are returned. while in oth-
err cases all of the ballots Of both
sets are shipped.
