Continued from Page One We particularly wish to point out that under the present setup, the County Democratic Committee has two sets of boxes, one for the ballots and one for the stubs. In 1954, there were three elections within six moriths; since the ballbts ahd the stubs have to be kept and retained intact for six mbnths after the election, it is an impossibility to do so with just two sets bf'boxes 1 Therefore, in view 'of the fact that the General Eledtoin is paid the County, the County, should buy another set of boxes for the al Elections. We believe and and strongly urge 'the officials in charge of the conduct of the elections in the future, that instead of using locks on the boxes, that an identified seal with a number on it be purchased to use "on each ballot box and each stub box; that the numbers on the seal be registered with those in charge; that a record be kept whereby each complaint made later is made, and if it becomes necessary for a box to be investigated or gone into, it can be determined where the fault lies. We wish to recommend that before each election that the election officials be advised as to what the laws are concerning elections, which hiay be called to their attention, and whiph they may need to know during the day. and while they holding and conducting the election, whereby thejr may be follow, the 'of the law, as a's the spirit" of the law.

'Deputy Prosecutor John T.

Dr. Howard A Dishogh, coroner, said yesterday that an autopsy indicated the child died of bron chial pneumonia, though tests were not completed.

(c) Adding any fraudulent ballot. to fhose legally cast either 'by fraudulently introducing it into the ballot box before or after the bal- Ipts have been counted, or at any other time or in any other manner, with the intent or effect of affecting the count or recount of the ballot.

(d) Withdrawing or withholding any lawful ballot with the intent or effect of affecting the count or Ve- count of the ballot. (e) Carrying away, secreting or destroying any poll tax list, registration book or list, list of voters, ballot or ballot box for the purpose or with the effc.ct of hindering or preventing voting, counting, recounting or checking of ballots or lists.

It is now the law that requests for ballots must be kept, and an accurate list made in the Cpunty Clerk's office, subject to inspection by any interested party, beginning twenty days before the election. This Jist remains open and subject to inv spectipn for six months after election; also the list of voters voting in the absentee box is filed with' the County Clerk, and that along with a list of all the in every box in the County is a public record, and under the law is to be kept in the County Clerk's office for six months following the election.
