Each Office.
Patience and long pencil will be
the cheif requisites on the part OF
the voter who enters the booth June
Z which will be primary election day
in Iowa.
The three ballots-republican
democratic and socialist-will be
adorned by approximately eighty
names. The republican ballot will be
the most complete, with filings foi
each office.
When the voter proudly steps In,
to the booth with a mammoth bal
lot June z, he will have to make
numerous crosses before the names
OF his choice, IL he is to proceed clear
through the political menu-from
soup to nuts, or in other words from
presidential elector at large, at the
top, down to party committee at the
bottom.
And then below the committee
man will be a space for precinct del
egates, which will be chosen either
by applying "stickers" or writing in
the names, and placing CROSS before
each.
In Iowa, it is either a feast or a
famine. politically, under the bien-
nial election law. All national, state
district, county and township officers
are to be elected next November, and
the choice of candidates is to be
made at the June primary.
This plan naturally lengtheps the
ballot, until the voter becomes be-
wildered by che multiciplicity OF
names.
The following is list of the names
which will stare out at the ofilcial
primary ballots at the electors, June
