five stamps may he made, some on one, and
some on another ticket: they need not nee

are simple enough: tor Clerk, Register, Sher'

place the stamp opposite the name OF the
candidate for Clerk, etc. tor whom you wish
to vote and leave the candidates for each OF
these offices on the two other tickets abso-
Iutcly alone
Now, 1t will be understood that all stated
aboye applies only to "cut" ticket voting.
A straight" ticket requires but one stamp
and that opposite the emblem.
1t is not generally understood that Il voter
may haye with him in the booth a sample bal-
lot already marked as lie mug desire to cote and
from which he may make copy on the Of
fetal ballot. The sample ballot, however
must not Ne printed on aohHe paper. Those
who purpose voting a "cut" ticket, (and
there were IS Democratic and Sc Republican

ballot and save time.
Now, as to voting: remember, it will re-
an opportunity to all to vote it is allowable
that each voter take .fpe minutes to prepare
his ticket and that there will probably BIZ
but six voting booths according to law sew
en- could be required as we have more than
600 voters) in which to prepare the ballot
If the six booths are full from the opening
of the polls and every voter takes tyc min
utes to prepare his ballot there will be six
votes cast every five minutes 70 per hour
or 600 IN 81 hours. In the first place how
ever it is possible that at times during thu
day the booths will not all contain vote
preparing his ticket and if one hoar and for
ty minutes are thus lost, there might be a
pinch at the close of the polls. Much time
will, however, be sayed on the aboye est
mate by straight" ticket voting 1t should
not take voter 80 seconds to stamp an(
fold a "s'raight' ticket. There is ample
time therefore, provided the voters in large
numbers do not put off voting until late il
the evening.
