Absentee Epidemic
Columnist Bost aliows that there
was a lot of sickness in Lexing
ton around the day of the primary
and that other sections were all
visited by illness in an alarming
way. He bases his observation up
on the number of absentee ballots
attested by reputable physicians,
730 such ballots having been cast
in Lexington alone.
The absentee ballot has been in
disrepute for some time, and the
1938 primaries have not helped
its reputation. The next legisla
ture will have plenty of evidence
to convict voting “in absentia”
and we hope the penalty will be
abolition of the practice.—Smith
