Press Comment
When Marking q Ballot.

| Many citizens. principally the new
| citizens who are to cast their first
| votes the second day of next month,
! have asked whether, on election day
| when they enter the voting booths to
| mark their tickets, they will be permit
! ted to take with them any memoran-
| dunn, printed or written, to assist them
| in selecting the names of those for
| whom they desire to vote.
Strictly speaking, following the letter
of the law in Florida they will not be
| allowed to use anything except their
eyes, memories and very hard and
i probably badly sharpened pencils.
Not that the law has ever been
strictly enforced. 1t has not been.
When men were the only voters 1t was
customary to find booths Uttered with
dummy ballots. memoranda of all
kinds and printed slips which had been
taken in by voters TO help their memoir
les.
But the point is that If the inspec-
tors of election take a notion to en-
force the Florida election laws literally,
they will have the right to insist that
| no voters carry any memoranda into
the booths.
This being the case, It behooves
those intending to vote to so familiar
ize themselves with the names of can
didates that they will know their men
when they see the names on the bal
lot. A voter who does this will be
safe. The ones who neglect this and
depend upon written or printed assis-
lance, might be disappointed
The exact wording of the law on this
subject is as follows:
Section 1886 of the laws governing
general elections and primary cleo
tions; ballots not to be seen, and other
offenSes. Any elector who shall, ex-
cept as provided by law. allow his bal
lot to be seen by any person, or who
shall take or remove or attempt to
take or remove any ballot from the
polling place before the close of the
polls, or place any mark upon his bal
lot by which it may be identified, or
take into the election booth any me-
chanical device. ticket or memoran-
dunn, printed or written, other than
the official ballot or ticket to enable
him to mark said ballot or ticket, or
any person who shall interfere with
any eiector when inside the polling
unduly influence or attempt to unduly
influence any elector in the prepara-
ton OF his ballot. or any elector who
shall remain longer than the specified
time allowed by law in the booth or
compartment after being notified that
his time has expired, or who shall en-
deavor to induce any elector to show
how he marks or has marked his ballot
or aids or attempts to aid any elector
by any means of any mechanical de-
vice whatever in marking his ballot,
"or shall print or procure to be printed
or have in his possession any copy OF
any ballot prepared to be voted, shall
be fined not less than ten nor more
than one hundred dollars, or be impris-
oned not more than three months. Any
ballot marked by the elector for identi-
fication shall be rejected. Miami Me-

MAINTAINS SCALE.
| Of THE NOLAN BILL

Although the salary schedules in
the Lehlbach Redistribution bill for
government employees will not be
ready until the latter part Of the
week. it was generally understood to-
day that the Nolan minimum wage
bill will be observed in the schedules.
This will mean that no government
worker in the District win receive
less than $1,000 a year compensation.
and keep will be figured In the mini
mum. The bill provides that the
schedules shall be extended to the en-
tire country.
This information proved most
pleasing to government employees,
the Lehlbach classification" bill set
at naught the Nolan minimum wage
bill. which is practically assured Of
early becoming law.
1t was pointed out today that it was
almost automatic that the reclassih-
sentative Lehlbach would have to OBJ
serve the Nolan minimum. because If
it did not and the Nolan measure were
adopted first, as 1t seems 1t will. the
Redistribution bill would have to be
amended to conform to it.

1000 persons would have remained

clared here today by those who work.

Organized employees of the govern
ment await with anxiety the exact
salary schedules, which they hope to
have by Friday. At a meeting held
under the auspices Of the National
Federation Of Federal Employees last
night attended by representatives Of
the American Federation Of Labor
and Central Labor Union. it was de-
cided to hold another meeting Of the
same representatives next Tuesday
night to consider the schedules.
Seventeen branches Of the Federal
Employees Union, No. 2. will be held
