kn0cKAb0UT Notes,
ELECTION METHODS
OF FORMER DAYS.

Two well known local citizens
Yesterday were recalling election
days and methods Of voting now dis
carded ana were pointing out the
contrasts. one recalled how the
candidates at ono time sat in the
room whero the votes were cast and
as a voter came into the room he
mot he and she> was asked for
which candidate he desired to vote,
aud viva yoce he would indicate his
choice in the presence of the candi-
dates. This memory was matched
by another wherein the candidate,
voted for in the same way, arose
and graciously acknowledged the
support. 1t was also recalled that
II days gone by a voter might go
from one county to another and
continue voting under his righ1 t.
vote wherever he held property.
Primaries and secret ballots then
We're not known and it was also re-
called that even today in many Of
the miner or more limited contests
some Of the voters who fearlessly
voted their thoughts openly in days
gone by still vote an open ballet in
the sight and hearing of all
Which reminds us of the lady
who yesterday morning marched in
to one Of the voting precincts, walk
ed unconcenedly by the registrars,
took no thought of securing an Off
Cial ballot but went directly up to
one of the commissioners and, read
ing from sample ballot clipped
from The journal, proceeded to
read off the people for whom she
wished to vote. she did not yet
very far however before the COM
missioners called her attention to
The necessity of inai;ring whether
she was registered and therefore en-
titled to vote and then suggesting
that she indicate her choices on an
official ballot by marking it in the
booths. We were all that way once,

procedure when casting ballot an6

CHAPTER III.
For six months the sea logs mo-
notOnously came and went along
the Monterey coast; for six months
they beleaguered the Coast Range
with afternoon sorties of white
hosts that regularly swept over the
mountain crest, and were as regu-
larly beaten back again by the lev
eled lances of the morning sun. For
six months that white veil which
had once hidden Lance Harriott in
its folds returned without him. For
that amicable outlaw no longer need

swift wave OF pursuit that had dash.

MAY GO TO COURT
FOR SOME RELIEF.

Residents Of the block on Raleigh
street, between John and Stephen.
are wondering what's wrong with
the street repair program. They
fail to understand why so much re-
pair work has been done on Win
chester avenue and North Queen
street, ostensibly for the benefit of
tourists, while this solitary block,
extensively travelled and a main ar
terry to the Boom" is permitted to
become Disgrace. The street is
in holes and ruts; surface water,
long since leaving the cutters, Is
cutting gulleys in the street Some
of the residents on this block are
speaking Of resisting payment of
taxes, through the courts unless
something is done to the street.
