It is htutod that tho camp of

looked at horizontally there is reveal- j

ELECTION LAW.
l4st week wo gave tho renders of
tho Nkws an outline of how to voto
under the new system, forgotting
that the original "Australian sys-
? , T ' l01"" had bow modified and simpli-R-ing
inndofltH, for Umj w )f Qregonians.
I mti is some (lillercnco liotweon
the Oregon law and the other, inas
much as the "blaclf lead pencil" is
not mentioned in ours.
Section 17 of the flection law
rends as follows: "The county clerk
of each oountv shall cause to be
i printed according to law all the lull
' lots required under the provisions
j of this net, nod shall furnish the
j snuie in the maimer hereinafter pro
f vislc-d for the use of all elector in
tho county. Ballot other than
tlKe furnishes! by the rrctivo
county clerks, accorsling to the pro
visions of this act, shall not be uses I
or circulates! or cast or counted in
any election provided for in this
act"
Then follows instructions to olli
ecrs, tlveir dutien, etc., until we come
to Ss?c. 0, which is as follows:
"On receipt of his white ballot as
afori's.xid, the elector shall forthwith,
and without leaving
the euclosesl
space, retire alone to hi of the
compartments or places provided,
and shall there preare his ballot by
cancelling, crowing or marking out
the name of the candidates ho
docs not w it-li to voto for, which
shall bo done with an indelible
"copying" encil, to be furnished for
the purimse, or by scratching with
pen and ink for each ollice lo be
filled for which he is qualities! to
vote, nod if necessary he mav write
into the blank space provides! there
for the name of tho tcrou of his
choice for each or any such ollice;
and, in case of a iiiestion submitted
ti tho vols' of the eoplo, by cancel
ling, crossing or .-crntehing out tho
... 1... .1 ...:.i. 1.. .....1
answer he does not wish to make or
give. Mefore leaving tho compart
ment or idiiee provides!, tho elector
shall fold his ballot so that the face
thereof will be concealed, without
displaying the ballot or informing
any tiersou how he has prepared it;
and lie shall fold the ballot so that
the initials of the first clerk mav U
seen on the back of the ballot, and i
so that the remaining stub may be j
readily torn oil", witliout oxMning
the contents of the ballot or the
murks or crosses thereon. He shall
then deliver tho ballot to the chair
man and state his namo and resi
dence." My this it will bo scon that tho
right or left hand "scrutchii-jj" is
not necessary, but tho duty ot the
voter is a very simple one cross
those names ou do not wiidi to j
voto for with an indelible iieneil. or 1
