Speaking for my. self, the Van Dyke primary law. wuieli passed the house of representatives at the last session of the le-i.,; it'ire, was as fair and effective an lustru..:at r.i could be framed. My own preference would bo for a return to the old Inn-, which permit t every voter to write or print his owu ballot; with a proviso that each voter snail enter a private booth alone and in wnicn he shall seal his ballot In an of- ncial envelope. w,..ch he shall hand tne election officers. This would pre vent espionage upon the voter, secure an absolutely free vote and rid us of the present litigious and cumbrous bal lot and mushroom parties.
