Excerpt from Defeating the Voters at the Polls The Australian ballot which was first adopted by Massachusetts in 1888, and is now in use in some form or another in every state, has the f oi lowing distinguishing features: The names of all candidates of each political party of certain num erical strength are printed on a separate ballot at public expense, sample ballots may be circulated previous to election day, but the official ballot, the only one counted at the polls, is never given out beforehand, being distributed by sworn-in om ciels to each citizen as he presents himself to vote ballots must be marked in voting booths provided for the purpose and in absolute secrecy. No state may be said to use the system entirely in its original form. The various modified forms may be divided into two groups, the party column ballot and the office column ballot.
