Publication of scattered votes should be cut from ballots
A Dakota newspaper argues for changing election law to stop printing single vote scatters for minor offices.

It cites social anecdotes about family life and pork production by local farmers as well as a note on the death of White Reid, the American ambassador to Britain, and Taft's non-nomination stance for Wilson to fill the vacancy.
