The Australian system was explained by

want intimidation and bribery The state
prints the ballot and enforces secret voting
Edith voter is fumiehed with ballots of all
kinds. The bill then says: “Each elector
shall, upon receiving such ballots from the
ballot clerks, forthwith celect one ballot of
each of the kinds which he intends to vote at
such election, and make such alterations, if
any, as he wishes to make thereon. He shall
thereupon immediately destroy in the prea-
ence of the ballot clerks all the other ballota
received by him. The election officers must
not furnish to any one person information in
regard to the way that any voter cast hishal-
lote. Only voters and election officers are to
be permitted near the polls.”-—Chicago Timer.
