IN ELECTION
LAW CAUSES GRIEF IN
PRINTING OF BALLOTS

The controversy among state and
county officials as to whether voters
should be instructed to vote for
one" or vote for two" on the pri-
mary ballots in the case of candi-
dates for justice of the supreme
court and regent of the state univer-
sity was not settled definitely until
after the sample ballots for Church
i'll county were printed The state
election laws specify that the above
named Offices shall be non-partisan
but do not clearly state whether the
voter should vote for one or two
cndidates in the Primary. Churchill
county officials agreed that the bal
lots should read vote for two" and
that is the way they were printed in
the first place. Just about the time
the printing was completed the opin-
ion was given out by the attorney
general that the ballots should read
vote for one." The printer there
fore ran the ballots through the
press again stamping out the words
vote for two" and printed in vote
for one" Meanwhile other officials
in the state took exception to the at
torney generals opinion and took
the matter to the supreme court for
decision. The supreme court decid-
ed that ''vote for two" was correct
and now 1t is up to the printer to
change the ballots again to comply
with the new ruling. Attention of
the voters is called to the fact that
it is only in the sample ballots that
there Is any confusion. Instructions
on the official Primary ballots are
correct and if they are read careful
ly the voter can make no mistake.

NEGROLAST NIGHT

Alarmed at the growing number
of hold-ups and robberies in the
vicinity of Claymont and Naaman's.
State Detective John Moore and State
highway police started about six
weeks ago TO patrol the district every
night and since that time only two
robberies. both OF a Ez.nor nature
have occurred
One Of the two robberies was COM
mitted last night. The home OF
William White. Negro, in the GEN
eral Chemical colony near the state
line, was entered and the mans
Christmas savings OF $40 stolen.

OF the robberies were committed by
men in automobiles from Pennsyl-
vania who after securing some loot
would return 10 that State.
One man who was arrested by De-
tective Moore after he committed
several robberies did not use an
automobile himself but would leap
upon the running board Of passing
machines. armed with a pistol, rob
the occupants Of the machines. He
was found TO be insane and is now
in the State Hospital for the Insane
at Farnhurst.
Detective Moore and State police
on their watch last night. observed
an automobile that was being driven
aim.essly about the Claymont sec
tion,. going back and forth on the
Philadelphia pike and at times taxi
ing other directions. The officers
trailed il but kept a distance behind
so that they would not be noticed.
After time the machine drove into
Pennsylvania The officers did not
get close enough TO the car TO see
the license tags or TO see the occu-
pants.
IL was about an hour after the
car disappeared that the officers
were informed Of the robbery at the
White home.
