                SUMMARY

UNDER THE MASSACHUSETTS SYSTEM:
     1. The ballots are rapidly and easily marked.
     2. There is no delay even in large precincts.
     3. A larger proportion of citizens vote than
         under the old system.
     4. Manual laborers mark their ballots without
         trouble.
     5. There is no falling off in offices which
         interest the voters even when placed at
         or near the end of the ballot.
     6. Each office gets separate consideration.
     7. As a result, the character of candidates
         generally has improved.
     8. The order of names in the groups -makes
         no difference when the public has an
         opinion to express.
     9. The Massachusetts system is popular
         throughout the State.
