CHARGEFRAUD.
IN ELECTIONS
Wholesale Stuffing Of Ballot
Boxes Alleged in Federal
Employees Local.

Irregularities in the recent cleo
ion of officers Of Local No. 2, Fed
,ral Employees Union, were charged
today by several members who de-
clared that at the next meeting they
would propose a revision of the
present balloting system. Rumors
Of sitting" the ballot box have been
heard on all sides and the charge
has been made by some that as many
as 500 "deadhead" votes were cast.
FORGERY DECLARED EASY.
Balolts for the electio ion are dis
tributed throughout the government
departments \ week or more in ad-
vance Of the election. according to the
present practice. The vote is made
and the ballot returned to the locals
office with the voters signature. 1t
10 declared that such name easily
can be forged without detection.
The weakness OF such a system il
declared to be the fact that not suf-
ficient personal Interest is aroused
among the membership and that the
candidate having the strongest lieu
tenant is almost certain to win.
1t is pointed out that a lieutenant
can take several hundred blottSrs,
canvass the departments, and procure
signatures Of members, who perhaps.
have not heard the candidates name
before.
COULD VOTE DEAD MEN.
1t Is further declared that q dis
honest lieutenant would have every
opportunity to stuff" the ballots to
any extent he desired. 1t has been
charged that even the names of
members now dead could be used in
the voting.
To remedy such an alleged condi-
ton, it is stated that certain dissatis-
fled members will propose that the
election laws be changed so that all
members hereafter must vote per-
sonally at pals.
