AUSTRALIAN BALLOT ADOPTED IN ALASKA
 TO MEET CONDITION

Occurrences in the history Of the agitation which resulted in the adoption of the Australian ballot law in Alaska two years ago dis close that the condition that it was designed to meet was not entirely theory. There was condition which the members of the Legisla- ture believed to be inimical to the best interests of the Territory. The law was designed to meet and over come methods Of intimidation that were actually practiced in places.
 In the Second Division, it is stated. that one company had tickets printed on blue paper, and the em- ployees of that company were given the hint that they must use blue tickets if they would be sure of retaining their jobs.
 In other Divisions the workers for one candidate or another would destroy the ballots sent there for the use of those who would vote for other candidates than those for whom they were working.
