' It was Impossible," he said, "to vote th.it ballot Intelligently. Jt was full of un desirable candidates who were given votes In many cases Just becahso their names were pronounceable or looked fa miliar after having been posted around on billboards." The long' ballot and the spoils system, said the speaker, encourage the political boss more than anything else. It was his plan to have only thoso officials who have to do with the policies of the government placed upon the ballot, these officials being given the responsibility of appoint ing men to technical positions under them. It Is next to Impossible to get the best technical men for public positions by popular vote," said Cassels, "Such posi tions should bo filled by appointment." Hy taking these positions off the. ballot and leaving only those officials who have to do with tho policy of tho government and those whose offices are conspicuous anough to demand attention the ballot can be shortened, he explained.
