It in to be hoped that the next session of the state legislature will see fit to alter materially the form of the Australian ballot now in use so that voters w.ll have less opportunity for standing on their head when they start in to vote their ticket t the next election. The present form is altogether too antiquated to need any further comment, and those who are best acquainted with the vagaries of election matters are at a loss to account tor me Dianxei sneer ( ern countie ptinle now in general use in this state.

That's the head under which the Oregon ballot should be classed. In many of the Eastern states a simple form of ballot is used. Candidates of the various parties are all grouped under separate heads of democrat, republican, prohibition, etc. A little circle is in front of each party name and the man wishing to vote a straight ticket puts a cross in that circle and the job is completed.

The form of the Oregon ballot should be changed as a matter of public convenience; simplified so that there is no guess work attach ed to the matter of voting, and put in such shape before the voter that be he intelligent or otherwise his ballot will be cast for those candi dates he desires elected.
