White County Ballots Had To Be Printed Over.

Monticello Journal. By an unfortunate error in making up the forms for the county election ballots in the office of the Monon News, where the ballots were printed, it was necessary to print them over, after the entire number, eleven thousand, had gone through the press and were counted and arranged in packages according to the number required for the several precincts. The election board ordered a change in the location of the tickets on the ballot -after the forms had been made up, and the printer neglected to transpose the squaxes to correspond with the emblems at the top of the progressive and prohibition tickets. The error was discovered at Monon and the tickets were reprinted at once and have been delivered to the election board. The oversight cost the News~ publishers about $35, and they are the only ones' who have a kick coming. At the present price of paper the stock for eleven thousand election ballots runs into real money and runs fast.
