Suggests Directory Ballot.
To aid voters In selecting the most
efficient men for public office, S. Edgat
Punlap, a senior In the Pennsylvania
State College, has suggested a ballol
reform that would list the candldaU'i
pedigree along with his name. Dunlap
terms it "the directory ballol." His
scheme to give the voter complete In
formation about all olllceseekers Is
said to have received the Indorsement
of authorities on the question of po
litical science.
The ballot would appear as follows:
Factory Inspector.

Education, grammar school.
Pnhlie offices orevlously held, Com

Richard Doe (D.)
Age, 40.
Residence, 547 West Walnut Street,
Occupation, factory Inspector.
Education, high school.
I'nhlle oflices previously held, fao
tory Inspector (two terms).
According to the directory ballot, the
nee. res deuce, occupation, phucbuuh
and nubile oflices previously held
whether appointive or elective, would
appear immediately beneath the name
of each candidate. A candidate's age
would, said Mr. Dunlap. denote his ex
perleuce In life; his residence repre
sents his presumptive degree or re.
spectabillty; his occupation tends to
represent his moral attitude, and the
public oflices previously held signify
what he has done In public life. By
means of this authentic Information
sworn to by the candidate the votei
would be able to defeat the unfit man,
who once had obtained office, since
he would have the knowledge of his
lack of qualifications.
