alone and simply place cross in the
squares before the names Of each can
didates for Judge and the other offices
there will be no difficulty; but if they
attempt to use both the circles and
squares hundreds of votes will be lost
The court held that where three jus
tees were to be elected and voter
made cross in the circle and also
made one in the square before the
name of another party's candidate, his
vote counted for that one candidate of
the other party, but not for any can
didate of the party in whose circles he
marked
1t was held that it made no difference
if, in addition to marking in the circle
designating his own party and in the
square before a name on the other
party ticket, he made a cross in one
of the squares preceding name on his
own party ticket; that the ballot could
be counted only for the candidates on
the other ticket.
The court ruled that even il q cross
OH one ticket and Two on the other, in
addition to the mark in the circle, so
that the voters intent was plain, yet
the ballot could not be counted for any
one of the three except the name or
names on the other party ticket that
is, the ticket whose circle he did not
mark
1t was held that ballots not marked
with cross in any circle or square
should not be counted; that ballots
marked with cross consisting Of more
than two intersenting straight lines
should not be counted; that q ballot
marked for identification should not be
counted, but mark not such as to be
readily used for Identification is i'm
material; and that where the incum-
bent does not appeal, he cannot COM
plain that ballots similar to those
counted for him, which the supreme
courts holds should have excluded,
were counted for the contestant by the
district court.
In short, under the supreme court
rulings, a plain cross is the only mark
that the voter should make on the bal.
lot, and it should be used only in the
places required by law; the cross
should be used in the circle only when
an absolutely straight ticket is to be

Ifcompliment and praise from friend

owner of 5000 acres of land. He in

dinner, and when the feast was ended,
after short speech to the guests Mr..
Pingrey gave each and all receipt in

them to hold their stock and hope for
better things next year. Such gener-
osity is rare, and richly deserves the
praise poured forth through the col,

ONLY ONE SAFE WAY TO VOTE.

Since the last general election the
Iowa supreme court has rendered de-
cision in regard to the Australian bal
lot law, the purport of which ought to
be clearly understood by every voter IN
the state. The decision was rendered
May Is, 1894, in the case of Whittam
VS. Zahorik, appealed from the district
court of Linn county; and the court
lays down definite rules relative to
marking and counting the official
ballot.
Under this decision the only safe
way to scratch" your ticket is by let.
ting alone the circle and placing cross
in the square preceding the name of
each candidate you desire to vote for.
The only safe use of the circle is
when the voter desires to vote an abso-
lutely straight" party ticket. A cross
in the circle alone will be counted for
the entire party ticket; but when the
voter attempts to use both the circles
and the squares, he is almost sure to
entrap himself in the legal TECHNICAL
ties which already surround the ballot
law by virtue of the supreme court
decision.
1t is particularly dangerous to use
the circles where there are two or more
justices, judges, or other officers hold
