i Free Elections
Ever pay any attention to your
newspaper reports of trouble en
countered in the smaller European
nations concerning free elections?
The former satellites of Nazi Ger
many, and the present satellites of
Soviet Russia, are finding the ideal
of elections incompatible with those
political doctrines that have been
. foisted upon them. Such insane
- foolishness as having the masses go
to the polls for honest and secret
voting, they say, is reserved for the
decadent democracies.

amend Section 143-135 of the Gen
eral Statutes relating to public

quirements of the Statute Law

tracts, public authorities in the

of such buildings to an amount not

ment, they can build or make addi
tions there in double the amount
of the existing Statute.

to the method of selecting the
Judge and Solicitor of the General
County Court, and beginning in
1948, these officials will be elected
by the voters, just as other elect
ive officers are, for a two year
term, instead of being appointed
by the County Commissioners.

mission's program, for which the
General Assembly provided $6,225,
