PREFERENTIAL
SYSTEM
(By (he Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5—This
city will try a new system of electing
officials. It is called the preferential
system.
The preferential system of voting
will be used of the old system which
consisted of a primary election follow
ed later by a general election. This
system also provides for a choice of
a majority of the voters. In order to
be elected as first or second choice
the candidates must receive a major
ity of all the votes cast.
This system also does away with
the unnecessary and excessive physi
cal strain of being compelled to pass
through two election campaigns, one
, to get the nomination and the other
to secure the election. Also the great
length of the combined campaigns is
unnecessarily burdensome to both the
voters and candidates. Also the an
nouncement of the primary returns
enables the less favored candidates
to combine their strength at the gen
eral election against the more popular
candidates and thus accomplish defeat
—sometimes by unfair means. Also
the expense of two elections under the
present system necessitates a large
and useless waste of public money;
j already this year the city has saved
$70,000 by the adoption of the prefer
ential system.
To obtain an office in the munici
pal government under the present
charter necessitates a physical and a
nervous strain upon the candidate
who successfully passes the ordeal of
the primary election which many cit
izens are unwilling to endure, while
the financial strain is necessarily al
most double.
If a candidate has a Business when
he starts In which needs personal at
tention to keep it alive, he is pretty
sure not to have any when the se
cond campaign is over.
, It is' also quite evident that the
. double election Bystem has a growing
tendency to weary the voter by re
requiring him to go to the polls twice
on the same issue, instead of once;
while the prolongation of the politi
cal wrangle carried on during the
campaign is, to say the least, a pub
lic nuisance.
The preferential system of voting
is in operation in a number of cities
of the United States and In this state.
At the primary election held in Sept.
1915, 11,9105 citizens of the state voted
and at the general election held six
weeks later, November 8, 1915, 83,297
t citizens voted; 35,908 voters who vot
ed at the primary failed to vote at'the
general election. There was at this
time 180,204 citizens registered and
entitled to vote, less than 50 per cent,
of the registration.
The preferential system of voting
will cut the cost of elections about
one-third. Four election officers are
used instead of six, as under the doub
le system of two elections, where
twelve officers were used, six at each
election.
Ii ne bauot ror the election to be
held tomorrow will be the small
est ballot used at any municipal elee
: tion.
* The ballot In all respects Is the
ballot heretofore used at municipal
elections with the addition of two col
umns for voting the. second and third
choices.
The voter, when receiving the bal
lot at the polls, will go to one of the
compartments, take the rubber cross
and mark oposlte the -candidate pre
ferred as first choice, in the first col
umn. Second choice, If any, in the
second column and third choice in the
third column, if the voter hits no se
cond or third choice he is not by law
compelled to vote second or third
choice, but it is his privilege. .
The count, for the first time, will be
conducted by the department elections
under the supervision of the registrar
of boards and the count will begin
shortly after seven o'clock p. m. on
the day of the election. Three hun
dred and fifty precincts will be count
ed at a time.
Every hour during the count the
public will be advised as to the pro
gress of the count. It Is expected that
the count will be finished early in
November.

AMERICAN SCHOOL CHILDREN
TO ASSIST KIDDIES ABROAD
(By the Associated Press)
WASHINGTON. Nov. 6—Belgium
and Prance are to be more to Amee
lean schoolchildren this winter than
the places geography tells about. The
amusing little French and Belgian chil
dreti, with their peculiar dresses, caps
and shoes will be brothers and sisters.
From the great sum of spending
money which American children re
ceive, a fund is to be raised for the
boys and girls of Belgium and France
whose fathers have fallen in battle.
"hcrever a school anywhere In Am
erica has given a fund equal to twcutj
five cents each pupil, or when chil
dren themselves have made articles
that are worth that, the school will
be made an auxiliary of the Red Cross
and membership buttons given the pu
pils.
The assistance given the Red Cross
by school children throughout the
^■■
United States, last year, prompted the
War Council to undertake the organi
zation of American children for Red
Cross service.

sion this year, according to official

tory, and exceeded the pack of the re
mainder of the territory by 882.449
cases. The southeastern Alaska sec
tion produced this year 3,024,749 cases
of salmon, or 801,091 more than last
year.
William Martin, of the Alaska Free
Gold Company, operating in the Wil
low creek section, arrived at Anchor
age recently with the semi-monthly
cleanup from the property, which he
states, is a highly gratifying one. The
newly discovered veit» on the property
Is proving fujly jib rich as anticipated
and that there was sufficient ore in
sight to run the balance of the season.
