One entry was by a little girl from DesPlaines and her turtle was fortunate to place in the money.

Reform Election Bills On Governor's Desk A package of three bills designed to reform Illinois election laws in relation to the use of electronic voting machines has reached the Governor's desk. This legislation was introduced and sponsored in the State Senate by Sen. Jack Schaffer, R-Cary, and in the Illinois House by State Rep. R. Bruce Waddell,. R-Dundee. The bills would allow county clerks to place all paper ballot issues, including judicial retention and Illinois Con­ stitutional amendments on the electronic voting machines. Another bill would also provide for the optional use of non-partisan or "independent" polling booths in primary elections where non-partisan issues are being voted on. Senator Schaffer commented, "During the 1974 primary election which included the RTA referendum, many people objected strongly to being torced to use polling booths which were labeled either 'Republican' or 'Democrat ' when they came to the polling place to vote on the non­ partisan election issues and did not choose to vote in either primary. "X < - Pf.AINDF \LER-FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1975 "The State of Il l inois had mandated the use of electronic voting machines in almost all of the downstate counties of Ill inois and these bills will allow the county clerk to maximize the use of these machines and hopefully save the taxpayers a great deal of money." Schaffer added that he hoped the Governor would sign the bills into law. Do a favor for someone each day and become a rich man.
