NO CIRCLEFOR
INDEPENDENT
CANDIDATES

Herald readers will take notice of
the general election notice published
in this issue of the Herald The notice
contains full instructions for voting
and a complete list of all candidates
for office, national, county and state.
The referendum ballot is also part of
the publication. 1t is the largest no
tice ever sent out and to handle prop
erly is printed across the second and
next to last pages of the paper.
1t will be noted that no party circle
appears above Independent candidates
for office. Wisconsin laws do not per-
nit placing the circle at the top of
Independent columns although this is
done with the regular parties. Atty.
General Ekern in an opinion Friday
stated that all parties have their
place on the ballot
1t is highly important that the read
er familiarize himself with the de-
tails of the election, law as printed in
the Herald. 1t is legal to vote a
straight party ticket by putting a
cross in the circle at the head of the
column. Where Independents are to
be voted for it is necessary to vote
for each candidate separately, being
careful not to scratch the party circle
at any point.

The Weird ''Huber Law"


A friend asks us why we don't like
the Huber parole law and then goes
on to say himself that he considers
its working out as highly ridiculous.
The law as applied is ridiculous.
More application of it may be noted
in the circuit court column of this is
sue. 1t is fully proved that the Huber
law is sentimental and harmful
piece of legislation.
Undoubtedly the law makes it east
er for the convicted man to escape
his dues. 1t also makes a laughing
stock of attempts at retribution and
gives the people as a whole no chance
in taking care of first-time malefac-
tors.
1t should be amended so that trial
judges may use some discretion in i'm
posing punishment, allowing mildness
where needed and severity if that is
deemed best.
