how big show we will have this
year." says Secretary F. w. McRoberts.

New-York tribune., 1922-09-20

If Commissioners Of Elections Noor-
his cannot, as he admits. prevent
| fraudulent registration and voting
in New York, it is time that arrange
ments we're made to prevent them
through some other instrumentality,
In letter to Deputy Attorney
General A. S. Gilbert Mr.. Voorhis
makes the. astonishing confession
that the election law has not been
fully complied with and will not be
fully complied with. He announces
calmly that "in the removals or
changes of residence that occur with
million and a quarter people, and
which the statute requires shall be
ascertained and recorded throughout
the year, it must appear to every
intelligent and thoughtful person
that this is a hopeless impossibility,
to be done at an enormous expense
to the people of this city, with no
benefit resulting therefrom in the
way of preventing fraud either in
the approaching registration or cleo
tons"
1t may be taken for granted, there
fore, that If Tammany leader
wants to vote few repeaters, all he
needs to do is to learn of some men
who have moved out of town ard vote
the repeaters in their names. With
out adequate records, dozens Of de-
vices for repeating could be adopted,
and doubtless have been and will be-
What really must appear to 'intelli-
gent and thoughtful persons" is that
the sanctity of the ballot is of the
utmost Importance. If the president
of the Board of Elections has been
unable to preserve it, he should long
ago have confessed his inability and
permitted the Legislature to find
means Of doing so.
No on can charge Mr.. Voorhis
with any deliberate purpose to assist
election stealing, He has held his
present office to the great age of
ninety yeale without scandal OF re-
proach. But it is evident from his
own confession that the door is open
to fraud and that the legal authority
of the state will have to find some
means before Election Day to
close it.
