WOULD MARK BALLOTS
WITH FOUNTAIN PENS
Only Wiy to Prevent Frsud by Extra
Crouei, Says Trainer
"Use a fountain pen to mark your bat.
lots on election day" Is the gist of a
statement sent broadcast through 'the
downtown wards yesterday by Select
Councilman Harry J.. Trainer, of the
Third Ward. In this way, Trainer em
phasizes, election frauds will largely be
prevented.
Accorllng to Trainer It Is an old
trick for political ward bosses and
crooked election officials to have pencils
concealed In their hands with which they
Invalidate ballots after qualified electors
have voted. This Is done by the simple
expedient of taking a ballot after an
elector has voted, for example, the Re
publican candidate for Governor and
putting a cross mark after the name of
the Democratic candidate.
The bs41ot, therefore, containing a
vote for two candidates for the same
offlce Is thrown out when the count Is
made.
