During the past year 1t has been
claimed that the usual election
boards are not competent and the
general opinion as that the men VINO
have Just offered to give their names
and service without pay, would ike
to get away from the ordinary poll
tician type of eoction officers.
It is no uncommon thing TOR
charges and counter charges to be
aung back and forth between poll
ticai parties that the election board
have failed to carry on the election
in a proper manner. With men or
higher type in charge of the polling
places. serving without compensa-
tion, ii is felt that an election can
be carried on minus the usual dis-
honest methods alleged in the past.
In view of the fact that all apph-
cations for appointment to the var
lous election boards must be MADE 10
