Republican ticket, ne can do so by
making q cross mark, thus y, in the
square or margin OPPOSITE and to
the RIGHT of the word REPUBLICAN,
at the head or top of each Repub-
hcan group. This single mark or
cross will be equivalent to a cross
mark against every name in such

STATE TICKET, or those in the first
group. Such ballot would not be
counted for the candidates for Con
gress, 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 caAi county Of
fee, therefore, there is a separate
group on the official ballot In the
other counties, however where the

COUNTY CANDIDATES, the latter are
included in single group In other
words, the number of Republican
certificates Of nomination determine
the number Of Republican groups
Section H.
C 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 filed in
the Republican column, and his vote
will be counted as one vote for each
candidate so marked.
d If the voter adopts the plan of mark
ing a cross to the RIGHT of each can
didate he should be careful not to
miss "A 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 a cross mark
to the RIGHT of the party name at the
head or top of each group in the Re
publican column The only diffcul
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.
(. Where a Democrat desires to vote for
a candidate ON the Republican ticket,
say for Representative in the General
Assembly, he can put an y at the
head of each group in the Democratic
column, except the Representative
group; and if there are, say, two
Representatives to be elected, he can
put an y opposite the name of one
Representative nominee in the Dem
ocratic group and another Y 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 THE GROUPS,
and where he desires to cut" his
ticket he MARKS THE NAMES of the
NOMINEES.
e. Crosses must be marked in the AP-
PROPRIATE MARGIN OR PLACE ONLY,
and always at the RIGHT HAND SIDE
of the party column.
h. 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 Fol
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS, TWO CANDI
DATES FOR CONGRESS -AT-LARGE, AMI
ONE CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF sU
PREME COURT. This year two con
gressmen-at-large are to be elected
If the voter, after having placed &
c oss mark at the top of the grouI
and to the right of the word RE
publican" should desire to vote fol
the Democratic candidate for tha'
Office and should place cross mari
opposite and to the right of each o
their names, his vote for congress
men-at-large would not be counted
for either party, because he would
by so marking vote for FOUR instCaC
of TWO candidates.
1. The voter MUST NOT CROSS OUT AK
NAMES upon the ticket, NOR CovEl
NAME WITH "sTICKER" Ol
"PAsTER," except in the case referred
TO in the next section.
!. When a candidate has died or with
drawn, and a substituted nomination
is made after the ballots are printed
the new name win be printed upon
''sticker," which should be paste
OVER to cover the name of the de
ceased or withdrawn candidate tn
voter should, in placing tn
"sticker" over the name of the car
didate so deceased or Withdrawn, us
GREAT CARE so as not to cover NOR
THAN the ONE NAME. Under no othe
circumstances can "sticker" b
