How Voter Shall Mark Ballot.

Having received ballot from ballot clerk,
the voter will enter one of the booths or
voting compartments and there mark his
ballot.
First-He may mark one x opposite the
party name at the head of group of names.
This X, so made, is q vote for the straight
ticket" and counts for every candidate of
the party group. [See Ballot IL
Second-H for any cause the voter does
not desire to vote a straight ticket, that is
for every candidate of party he will make
no mark at all opposite the party name,
but will make X opposite every name on
the party group or ticket for aobona he
wishes to aote.
THRIFT the voter desires to vote for diff
ferent candidates-some in one party and
some in another-he will make a X opposite
the names Of those for whom he desires to
vote wherever the same appear on the bal
lot, but no mark opposite any party name.
Fourth-1f the voter desires to vote for
some person or persons not nominated for
Office by any party, and whose name or
names do not appear anywhere upon the
ballot, such voter may write the names Of
such person or persons on the ballot be-

hundred of the whole number entitled to
vote at any one polling place, and booths or
voting compartments, as follows:
Booths or compartments, somewhat re-
sembling three sides of narrow and not
deep closet, at least one for each hundred
voters, must be provided; each booth to
contains shelf sufficiently wide fora voter to
mark his ballot upon, equipped with mark
ing facilities-pen and ink or pencil. In
each booth must be posted card OF IN
structions to voters, also card containing
Che last four sections of the law, which Will
be supplied by the secretary of state.
These booths or compartments are to be
30 constructed and placed as to secure the
following objects:
First-That no person can see or know
how any voter marks his ballot.
The Portland daily press., 1892-02-10

meath the names of the candidates who
were nominated, and then make a x against
the name or names he has written. [See
Ballot 81
One X marked opposite the name of the
party at the head of a group is sufficient
for every Doter aD]to desires to cote q
straight ticket. All others should make
X against eUery name they intend to
cote for, and no mark against the party
name.
See that you clearly understand this Sec
ton of the law; because a voter is allowed
but three ballots in all, and if the three are
spoiled, the vote is loste
Also the law provides that if it cannot be
determined how the voter intended to vote,
from the marks on the ballot, such ballot
will not be counted.
Voters desiring to vote other than a
straight party ticket must exercise great
care in marking.
Do not make x against two candidates
whose names, although in different groups
or tickets, are nominated for one and the
same Office.
Be sure and vote for or X only the name
of one candidate for any one Office.

TO THE COMMITTEES
PARTIES.

PARTIES.
The attention of the committees of all
political parties upon whom devolve the re-
sponsibility Of calling nominating cos,ven-
tions is called to certain features of the
ballot law, which seem to necessitate the
calling of all such conventions at a much
earlier season than has been the practice
hitherto, in order to insure the successful
operation of the law.
The total number of ballots to be printed
is about 100000. There are in the state Isl
representative class districts. 1t is safe to
reckon that each of the two great parties
viii have a full ticket in each of these dis
tricts-this would call for 302 different sorts
of tickets. Presumably in at least 100 Of
these districts other parties will have
ticket. So that in all these 100000 ballots
must be divided up in the printing into at
least 400 different tickets. When printed
these ballots are to be fastened together in
blocks say of seventy-fve each, or about
5000 different blocks or packages, and must
be carefully packed, labeled, recorded and
shipped, under seal.
1t will be seen at glance that to print,
fold, block, record, label pack and ship this
quantity of ballots to some 500 different city
and town clerks, must involve great deal
OF time, especially in the first instance or
attempt to inaugurate the system.
The law requires that these ballots shall
be sent to each of these 500 clerks in taoo
lots at two different times. The first lot
IN time to be received By such clerks seq
enty-taoo hours at least the second forty
eight hours at least before the day of cleo
ton Sundays included.
If the area of the state, its mail and ex-
press facilities are considered, it becomes ev-
ident that, if nomination certificates are
not received at this Office until Aug. 10
twenty days, exclusive of Sundays, before
election day, the limit fixed by law in
which the secretary can receive them, the
Aug. 10 and the date upon which shipment
of the first lot must be commenced, in or
der to meet the seventy-two hour require
ment, is SO short as to be dangerous to the
transmission of the ballots as the law in
tends.
To meet the requirements of the law,
considering the territorial limits of the
state, and the number of towns not too
speedily reachable from Augusta, as mails
and expresses run, all nominating conven-
tions should be held early enough to admit
of the reception, at this Office, of all nomi-
nation certificates thirty days, at least, ex-
elusive of Sundays, before Sept. IL, the day
of election.
Thirty days is none too much time in
which to do the necessary work and insure
reaching every voting precinct in Maine, to
do which in many instances will require the
shipment of ballots to begin at least i've

voters. receive sort, count and declare the
votes, and with the town clerk prepare the
the election returns, as has hitherto been
the practice.
Votes must be counted, declared and re-
turns made on the usual and well known
forms, which will be supplied as heretofore
by the secretary of state precisely the same
as at the last and preceding September cleo
tions.
The election and ballot clerks provided
for by this law perform none of these duties,
but are to safely keep the ballots, to deliver
same to the voter at the direction of the
presiding officer or officers, to assist if ncces-
sary in marking the ballot, and to return
spoiled and defective ballots and check lists
to the town clerk Sections 81, % and rs.

which provides that In to1ons having 500

Penalties.
The last four sections of the law prescribe
the penalties for violation thereof, and are
sufficiently stringent to merit careful con-
yideration. These sections are printed as
cards of instruction No. =, and are to be
posted the same as and with cards No. be-
fore referred to.
To Clerks of Cities.
The secret ballot law applies to all city
elections for the election of municipal Off
GERS, and the same duties which are assigned
by it to the secretary of state in state cleo
tions are assigned to city clerks within
their respective cities in city elections.
There are few differences, wholly Of a
minor sort, but the system is the same for
cities as for the state, and the forms herein
given can be easily adapted to the require
ments of city use.
