The Australian Ballot System.
Its Workings and History
The Austalian system of voting, so-
called because first used in Australia,
has been for several years in successful
operation there, and, with non-essential
variations, in England, Scotland, Ire-
land and Canada. It has also been
adopted in Massachusetts, where it goes
into effect in 1889. Its principal objects
are to prevent bribery and intimidation,
to place all candidates upon an equality
before the law,and to undermine the dan-
gerous powers of political machines.
The system will be readily understood
by reference to the accompanying draw-
ing.
The voter, upon entering the polling
place, turns to his right at the point
marked “ENTRANCE,”” where he receives,
from two election officers selected from
opposing political parties, a single ballot
or a single set of ballots according to the
local custom of voting. On the back is
indorsed a stamp or signature, sufficient
and only sufficient to identify the ballot
as official ; and on the face are plainly
printed the names of the candidates for
each office, with a designation of their
respective political parties, after this
manner .
|For Mayor.
Democrat {John

Republican. |
Prohibition
{For Corone S. [Vote for Two
Democrat. Alar Jacobs. |
{Harvey Sylvester.
|
Republican, |Martin Rawson. |
|
Wyman Simpson. |
Prohibition.
Having received his ballot the voter
enters one of the booths back of the
railing, where, secluded from observa-
tion, he prepares the ballot by placing
in the blank column a cross opposite the
name of each candidate for whom he
desires to vote; or, if he prefers, by
writing the names of candidates of his
own nomination in place of those already
there. If there are several candidates
for the same kind of office, as coroners
in the sample ballot above, or presiden-
tial electors, and he wishes to vote the
“straight” ticket for his party, be places
the cross under the name of the party,
or draws it through the space in the
blank column allotted to the party's
candidates, which signifies that he votes
for each candidate named in that space.
Thus,in the sample ballot, a cross under
the word “democratic,” or through the
first two spaces of the blank column to
the right, is one vote ' each for Alonson
Jacobs and Harvey Sylvester.
After preparing his ballot by indicat-
ing every candidate for whom he votes,
the voter folds it in such a manner as
to conceal the face and expose the en-
dorsement, and withdrawing from the
booth, gives the ballot to the inspectors,
who identify it by the endorsement as
official. It is then deposited in the box
and the voter passes out at the gate
marked “ExiT.” :
From the time he receives his ballot
until he casts it, the voter is permitted to
have no communication with any one
but the election officers, and with “them
only for official purposes; and only elec-
tion officers and persons actually engag-
ed in voting are ever admitted within
the railing.
Upon proof of inability from physical
infirmity or illiteracy, a voter may call
into the booth officers appointed and
sworn for the purpose, to aid him in
preparing his ballot; and when a ballot
is accidentally destroyed or defaced it
must be exchanged for a clean one. The
importance of the latter requirement
may not at once be apparent; but to se-
cure secrecy every ballot delivered to a
voter must be either castor returned.
This explains the necessity for endorsing
ballots. But for the endersement a
blank paper outwardly resembling a
ballot might be cast by a voter, who
would then be able surreptitiously to
carry away an official ballot. This could
be prepared for a bribed voter, the proof
of its use being his production of a sec-
ond official ballot. That could be simi-
Isrly prepared and used. and so on.
Such a fraud known as the “Tasmanian
dodge,” was successfully perpetrated in
Australia in the early days of the sys-
tem; but its repetition was prevented by
requiring ballots to be officixlly indors-
ed.
As it is essential that ballots be print-
ed at public expense and distributed by
public officers, the system must include
some mode of certifying nominations to
the proper authorities a reasonable time
before elections. That propos=d by the
Yates-Saxton bill of New York was per-
haps as convenient as could be desired.
Under it, state nominations were to be
certified fifteen days, and lozal nomina-
tions ten days before election; nomina-
tions of a political party which at the
next preceding election polled three per
cent. of.the whole vote were to be certi-
fied by party officers; and independent
nominations, if for a state office, were to
be certified by a thousand voters and if
for a local office by a hundred.
A brief explanation of the way in
which this system effects its objects” can-
not anticipate or answer captious objec-
tions, but will be useful to candid 'in-
quirers. :
Penal laws are ineffectual to prevent
bribery and intimidation. The primary
remedy is a secret ballot. And this is
best secured when the only proof of an
elector’s vote is his own uncorroborated as-
sertion. Under the Australian system no
“in bribes.
other proofcan be made. That fact gives to
the most timid among dependent voters
a sense of security which makes him
free. And to bribery it is fatal. Bri-|
bers are not likely to invest money on
the faith of a bribed man’s naked asser-
tion; if there be such a virtue as “hon-
esty among thieves,” it is not acceptable
security to the thieves themselves.
But secrecy, though the primary reme-
dy for bribery and intimidation, is not
present system voting is not a secret; it
‘was for that reason rejected by the Brit-
/ish parliament and the Australian sys-
tem adopted. The object now is to se-
‘cure secrecy, but in aiming at that we
(are confronted with a class of voters to
| whom exposure of their ballots to some-
{body is necessary, and an exception must
|be made in their favor to prevent their
disfranchisement. What form which

inevitably tends, as does the farming out
of any other public function, to breed
corruption and build up monopoly. It
makes a necessity for irresponsible or-
ganizations which come to wield auto-
cratic power over the political party
they claim to serve, and in turn, through
discipline almost military in its severity,
are dominated by an inner circle of
“leaders.” As ballots can neither be
printed nor distributed withovt money,
and may not be faithfully handled un-
less trusty workers are rewarded with
more than an election day stipend, the
organization undertaking the work has
a plausible if not reasonable claim for
maney from its beneficiaries and official
patronage from its retainers. It is the
necessity of raising these funds and em-
ploying these “workers” that justifies
assessments, gives color of voluntary
contributions to what in truth are sales
of nominations, excuses the submission
of official patronage to the distribution
of the machine, proves ample cover for
collecting a corruption fund, and,
through “workers’” at the polls a conve-
nient channel for disbursing the funds
Andas corruption funds in-
crease, masked in increasing demands
for legitimate expenses, assessments grow,
the price of nominations rises, independ-
ence is shackled, and the organization
becomes more indifferent to party prin-
ciple as its monopoly of political power
strengthens. Born of the necessity of
velunteer machinery for preparing and
distributing ballots, it develops into a
powerful instrument, which in the
hands of political jobbersenables them to
buy and sell office, “as the Pratorians
sold the Roman purple.” Already,
poor men rarely obtain political advance-
ment without assuming obligations to be
redeemed by official perfidy, and the ob-
stacles to unallied candidacy have be-
come so great as often to prevent and
always to discourage independent nomi-
Lations. :
This political monster would be de-
stroyed by the Australian system. If
the stat: assumes its function of provid-
ing ballots, there would be no necessity
for “workers” at the polls, and the ex-
cuse for raising, as well as the best mode
of using, corruption funds would disap-
pear. Assessments could not then be
levied upon candidates, for when “work-
ers’ at the polls are not required, ma-
chines can neither serve nor injure.
Nor would nominations be sold; for
when candidates stand upon an equality
in respect to election machinery, and
thera is no opportunity for bribing voters,
organizations merely as organizations,
have nothing worth buying, while organ-
izations as representatives of principles
cannot be approached through commer-
cial channels. Trafficking in office
would be replaced by political discus-
sion, the power of the machine by the
voice of the party. :
The evils of machine organization and
the remedy of the Australian system ,are
summarized as follows by William M.
Ivins, than v hom no one has done more
intelligent, energetic and effective work
for electoral reform :

by affording them con-|
venient covers. |
To this system it is objected that by
requiring nominations to be made in ad-
vance of elections it denies the constitu-
tional rights of voters to select candi-
dates from the whole body of voters.
From such eminent authorities as Judg-
es Cooly, McCrary and Folger, and the
highest courts of Pennsylvania, Massa-
chusetts and New York, it may be safe-
ly inferred that a restriction of the fran-
chise to candidates nominated a short
time before election is a reasonable regi-
lation and not an unconstitutional inter-
ference; but the interference is not ne-
cessary, since the system allows each vo-
tér to reject all candidates and write new
names upon his ballot. :
It is objected, also, that by requiring
the blind and illiterate to expose their
vote to election officers, secrecy of the
ballot is as to them violated. Under our

{form of the “Tasmanian dodge.” If,
| for their benefit, official ballots are gen-
lerally c'reulated, all efforts for secrecy
are frustrated. And if they are permit-
ted to take a “friend” into the booth,
the door is opened for the bribery of
every venal voter who is, or can success-
fully pretena to be, unable to read Eng-
lish. Exposure of ballots must be pre-
vented by every means that ingenuity
can suggest; but in exceptional cases in
which it cannot be avoided it may mast
safely be confided to election officers,
who represent opposing parties. are un-
der oath of secrecy and fidelity, can be
readily detected in malfeasance, and when
detected are liable to severe penalties.
As to blind voters this seems to be the
only course, but respecting the illiterate
any exception to the general rule may
be avoided by identifying the names on
the ballots with numbers, or by printing
them with inks of different colors.
There is reason to believe that the
Australian system of voting is about to
receive favorable consideration in all the
states where election abuses have been
seriously felt; but its adoption would so
surely dispense with machine organiza-
tions that there is also reason to fear at-
‘tempts at essential modification. These
are likely to be in the direction of allow-
ing the delivery of ballots to parties and
candidates before election, and distribu-
tion as well by “workers” at any time
or place as by sworn officers at the
polls. A little thought will show that
this would continue the power of politi-
cal machines and endanger sccrecy.
Any such modification no intelligent
and sincere advocate of electoral reform
can accept, for in this matter it is not
true at this time that half a *“loaf is better
than no bread.” Tt were better that the
reform be delayed with the force of pub-
lic opinion pressing it forward, than
that inefficient measures should allay
public opionion by seeming to meet its
demands. Details may be compromised,
but essentials must he required at every
step in the agitation. These are, that
ballots containing the names of all can-
didates be printed at public expense;
that one official ballot or set of ballots
be delivered by sworn officers to each
voter as he appears to vote; that the vo-
ter immediately be secluded for the pur-
pose of preparing to vote ; that he deliver
kis ballot to the inspectors so folded as
to conceal its face and expose the official
indorsement; that immediately after
voting he withdraw from the secluded
part of the polling place; that there be
no intercourse with him except by elec-
tion officers for official purposes from the
time he receives his ballot until he votes;
and that no voter be allowed to cast any
ballot but the one he receives from the
election officers.

was unable to attend to the most trifling house-

But seeing the the constant advertisement
of Hood's Sarsaparilla in the Philadelphia

trial. After the first bottle I felt much better.
