The registry law has proved a conspicuous failure, inasmuch as it has
taken ten years of persistent efforts by its use to make a change in the
admistration. I would suggest that you amend the registry law by providing
that all qualified voters have their ears punched, immediately after
voting, by the inspectors of elections, the same as conductors punch
tickets. This method will obviate the difficulties heretofore experienced,
and check illegal voting and prevent repeating.
