There Are Two Ways
To Ruin Your Ballot
, By PRESTON MeERAW 49.5
j DALLAS (l:PD — There are
! two ways to spoil a paper ballot
in next Tuesday’s general elec-
tion in Texas and they may as-
sume monumental status if the
results are close enough to be
affected by thrown-out ballots.
Bronson C. LaFollette
IN WISCONSIN, Bronson C. LaFollette, state attorney gen-
eral with probably the longest political pedigree of any
candidate In the country, is trying to unseat Gov. Warren
P. Knowles, but not given much chance because the Demo-
crats are in deep, deep trouble. LaFollette, 32, is tiie grand-
son of Robert (Fighting Robi LaFollette, who was gover-
nor. senator, and Progressive Party presidential candidate.
One of his sons was a senator for 21 years. Another was a
three-term governor. Now young Bronson seeks to become
the youngest governor in Wisconsin history.

that "the new positive check
method of voting,” there is a
space beside the name of party
for voting a straight party tick-
et -
Some Extra Marks
Rut an "X” in the space and
tiie voier is not supposed to
mark the ballot anywhere else.
But some voters are expected to
mark some individual names
after voting a straight party
ticket.
Whether the ballot is thrown
out or counted I lien becomes a
‘question of intent" which elec-
tion judges must decide.
The other way to spoil a pa-
per ballot is to scratch out the
name of S. Marvin Griffin as
George Wallace’s running mate
and write in "Curtis LeMay."
I,cMay actually is Wallace’s
running mate, but Griffin was
his stand-in running mate until
Wallace settled upon LeMay.

"LeMay,” why lie.did it again

whether to throw the ballot out
or count it.
A Sore Topic
Thrown out ballots became a
sore subject in Texas in 1960
when the late John F. Kennedy
won 1.167.567 votes 50.5 per cent;
to 1,121,310 48.5 per cent for
Richard M. Nixon,
j There is no way to tell exact-
ly how many ballots were
thrown out in that election.
The 1960 situation was even
more ticklish in Illinois. Kenne-
dy got 2,377.846 votes 50 per
cent; and Nixon got 2,368,988
