Tim new Australian ballot law is a buga
boo to a good many persons, who imagine
It to be a cumliersome piece of election ma
chinery, and who have an idea that it Is so
complicated voters will not be able to cast
their ballots intelligently.
This in altogether a wromj Impression.
When rightly understood it Will he found
that the Australian system is the iinnlest
of all election methods, and the voter can
cast his ballot with more ease ami satisfac
tion than under the old law.
If there is any trouble nt all it will I
originated by the officials who are charged i
with the duty of putting the law into opera
tion. 1 be law requires the several county
courts to appoint the election otllcersand
judges at the January term. Possibly I hi
has not been done in all the counties and
may produce some confusion. Hull the
omission will not invalidate the law. The
failure of a court or of an otllcial
to perform a specihVity does not deprive
the voter of his constitutional right to cast
his tin Hot In the form proscribed by law.
I Oder the new law, w hen the voter goes
to the polling place he will lie admitted in
side of a guard rail where the election otll-
cer.are seated. He will b furnished with
an otllcial ballot, on which the names of all
the candidates for the several offices are
printed and properly classhled. He then
retires to a booth or private compartment,
w here he proceeds to scratch out the names
he does not vote for, leaving the names ol
his chosen candidates printed on the -apor
without erasure. The ballot is folded and
handed to the election judge w ho deposits
it in the box. During the time he is in the
room ami while he is preparing his ballot
the voter cannot l molested by any one.
Nor can more than one ersou occupy a
booth at any one time. If a person cannot
read, or for any cause cannot prepare bis
ballot, he then has the right to select two of
the election Judge to prepare his ballot for
him, but they are sworn to secrecy not to
reveal bow ho voted.- Portland Telegram.
