A Suggestion in Photography.

In view of the evil of repeating at elections, fraudulent registration, and so on, a San Francisco gentleman suggests the use of photography as a matter of precaution and certainty. The expense, he says, would not be greater than the present system of registration. The personal history of voters could bo put on the back of their respective photography so much of it as relates to the

birth, naturalization, etc. Yoters could all he arranged in wards and precincts as now, and, as a number is called and a ballot deposited, the voter’s picture could be dropped into a separate box prepared for that purpose.
