POPULIST PLAN
Mil BEAOOPTED
Australian Ballot System to be
Used J n Senatorial Primary
and, It Seems, All Others in
Future.
Atlanta, Ga„ Oct. 7. —The Austral
ian ballot system will be used in some
counties in the senatorial primary
October 17, as it was in the guberna
torial primary in September, accord
ing to a state politician and they pre
dict that before many more elections
all counties will put it in operation.
It must not he forgotten, political
observers point out, that the Austral
ian ballot was one old-time Populist
plan that Democrats -opposed. Now
both Democrats and Republicans in
Georgia favor the Australian ballot
with practical unanimity.
Two successive grand jury recom
mendations are required to put the
Australian ballot system in operation.
Then, when a sufficient number of
counties have adopted it, many poli
ticians claim th law should be
amended so as to make it mandatory
on the minority of counties, in order
that the state, it is claimed, by a reas
onable, gradual process soon may
have a clean, dignified, safe uniform
ballot system which will permit, to
quote one politician “decent men and
women to go to the polls without fear
of th e frequent nuisance and indecen
cies which have been experienced un

Capt. Rosendo Torras, Cuban vice

reads as follows:

me that the Cuban congress has au
thorized a foreign • loan - providing
means by which all past obligations of
the republic of Cuba will be paid. This
