much red tape connected with this form

seeing Editor Williams comply with il
even to the last letter as he appeared be-
IS fore Ralph l. Morse, Esq, notary public
g and in fact ballot clerk. 1t seemed like
a voting at long distance, but the ballot viii
is be counted in Ohio's State, district anc
lie county primary election. The law re.
l. qured that the notary should mail the
of ballot, registered, before sunset on the
lie day it was sworn to, and Mr.. William!

the same to the State department. Edito
la Williams remarked that he was having
: delightful vacation, "but didn't want tt
miss his vote in tlat primary" He will
