or ever seriously ^riPPlb the Repub­
lican party in Oregon, no body be­
lieves for a minute that Senator
Walter Pierce, Democratic candidate
for Governor, would have fought It
to its last ditch and even wept when
it passed the senate.
As a matter of fact the straight j
party ticket would have absolutely
no effect on intelligent independent
voting. The Republican cadidates ar«
In one column and the democratic
candidates are in another column.
Any republican wishing to vote for a
Democrat can easily do so by putting
a cross after his name in the hodge­
podge column scheme now in use.
This writer for fifteen years voted
a ballot on which it was possible to
vote a straight party ticket if one
wanted to and he has seen so many
election ballots counted that he is
positive that no Intelligent voter is
detained from "scratc|iing” his tick­
et if he wants to. The minority party
always advocated the confusing bal­
lot now used in Oregon. The only
reason for it is that in the confusion
of hunting out the names as they
now appear, the minority party has
a fifty-fifty show on the errors made
which will swell their vote. The
chances for more errors on the part
of the majority party is guaranteed
by the fact that they have more vot­
ers. And that is absolutely the sole
and only reason a minority party, re­
gardless of which party it is, advo­
cates making it impossible to vote a
straight party ticket.
It is an outrage that man who
wants to vote a straight party ticket
is prevented from doing so by law
unless he takes an expert into the
booth with him as many voters must
now do or take their chances.
The straight party ballot also en­
ables the voter to finish voting much
more readily and makes the count­
ing easier for the judge s-—enabling
them to cotlnt nearly twice as fast.
There is not a single ligitimate ar­
gument against such a ballot which
the governor has vetoed under the
allegation that it effects a “sweeping
change.”—Gazette Times.
