sross, state Senator, &c. lin the
city and county Of Philadelphia sep
arate conventions are held to NOM
mate the several candidates on the
county ticket For each county Of
fee, therefore, there Is separate
group ON the official ballot. In the
other counties however, where the
same convention nominates ALL THE
COUNTY CANDIDATES, the latter are
included in a single group. In other
words, the number Of Republican
certificates of nomination determine
the number of Republican groups -
Section H.
G. If the voter desires he can make a
cross mark in the square opposite and
to the RIGHT of each of the candi-
dates for EACH office to be filled in
the Republican column, and his vote
will be counted as one vote for each
candidate SO marked.
d. II the voter adopts the plan Of mark
ing a cross to the RIGHT of each can
didate he should he careful not TO
miss name, as a name not crossed
would not be counted
How to Vote a Straight Ticket.
e. The simple method, where the voter
desires to vote the straight" or
whole ticket. is to place cross mark
to the RIGHT Of the party name at the
head or top Of each group in the Re
publican column. The only difficult
ties in the use of the new ballot being
those which arise from an attempt
to vote mixed or scratched" ticket;
Republican voters are cautioned
against voting any but straight
ticket Except for good cause, and
then only after careful instruction.,
as to do so is attended with danger
that the entire ballot may be in
validated.
I Where n Democrat desires to vote for
candidate on the Republican ticket,
say for Representative IN the General
Assembly, he can put an \ at the
head of each group in the Democratic
column, except the Representative
group; and il there are, say, two
Representatives to he elected he can
put an \ opposite the name of one
Representative nominee in the Dem
ocratic group, and another " oppo-
site the name of one Representative
nominee in the Republican group.
In other words, so far as he votes a
straight ticket he MARKS TIE GROUPS,
and where ;.e desires to cut" his
ticket he MARKS THE NAMES of the
NOMINEES.
q Crosses must he marked in the AP-
| PRoPRIATE MARGIN OR PLACE ONLY,
and always at the RIGHT HAND SIDE
of the party column
| If voter marks MORE NAMES than
there are persons to be elected to an
Office his vote shall not be counted
FOR sUCH OFFICE.
| For EXAMPLE The voter marks q
cross to the right OF the first group in
the Republican column. This mark
would indicate one vote for EACH and
EVERY NAME printed in that group,
to wit, THIRTY-TwO CANDIDATES FOR
PRE- IDENTIAL ELECTORS, TWO CANDI.
DATES FOR oNGREss-AT.LARGE, AND
ONE CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF SU-
PIiEME COURT This year two con.
gressmen-at-large are to be elected
If the voter, after having placed a
Gloss mark at the top of the group
and to the right of the word RE
publican" should desire to vote for
the Democratic candidate for that
Office and should place a cross mark
opposite and to the right of each of
their names, his vote for congress
menat large would not be counted
for either party, because he would
by so marking vote for FOUR instead
of TWO candidates.
4. The voter MUST NOT CROSS OUT ANY
NAMES upon the ticket, NOR COVER
A NAME WITH A "STICKER" OR
"PAsTER," except in the case referred
to in the next section.
When a candidate has died or with
drawn, and n substituted nomination
is made after the ballots are printed,
the new name will be printed upon a
'sticker," which should be pasted
OVER to cover the name of the de-
ceased or withdrawn candidate The
voter should, in placing the
"sticker" over the name of the can.
ddate so deceased or withdrawn, use
GREAT CARE so as not to cover MORE
THAN the ONE NAME, Under no other
circumstances can "sticker" be
pasted over name, or be placed In
the Republican column.
