! election. Our two men with the
poll books having given the elector

then and there write his name III
full on their poll book
If the bull pen is SO built that the

elector having received his ballo S
from these men and having handco
them to he judges of election, I'M
mediatel " return to our poll book
keepers and say to them that he had
voted the ballots given to HIM bN
| them.
If there is no bull pen ourstwo
poll book keepers should take posi-
ton near the ballot boxes, little to
one side SO as not to be in the way
of other persons, but hear enough o
see the ballots put in the boxes.
BY writing in this poll book the
names of all persons voting for our
candidates we Will know at the end
Of the day exactly how many votes
our candidates have received and bN
whom the votes We're cast, and at
the proper time, We will be able To-
prove by each voter as well as by our
poll book keepers the number Of
votes cast for our candidates aud tn,
persons by whom they wer" cast.
When the election is over, send
these poll books by mail, express, or
special messenger, to Marion Butler,
Chairman Peoples Party Executiv,
Committee, Goldsboro, \. &.
At the end Of The poll book our
two POLL book keepers should write
and sign certificate to the follow
ing effect. (See certificate printed
in poll book
In addition to the two persons
selected to keep our poll books, there
should constantly be at the ballet
boxes two or more smart, quick-eyed
and reliable men, to see that tbe
poll holders do no cheating. You
cannot always depend on the poll
holders of our own party, as in many
instances they are slow, wanting in
intelligence, easily deceived, and OF
this account were appointed by tt e
Democratic County Commissioners.
Let our men selected to keep spec
lal watch over the judges of election
be courteous and polite, but trust
nobody. Some men are smart enough
to slip or exchange ballots while YOU
wink your eyes.
Notify all our friends to get to
the polls and do their voting as early
as possible, and then the balance of
the day they can spend in watching
and guarding the polls and looking
after doubtful voters.
AS many as can do so should re-
main at the polls after the boxes are
closed at SUI d rwn and see that the
votes are properly and honestly
counted. Such electors as NAV
choose to attend have right to be
present at the counting of the votes
The Judge of election have no right
to count the ballots in private. ANY
elector WHO wishes to be present can.
not be kept away. The law is ex
plicit on this subject.
1t sometimes happens that the
yud ges of election, after the ballot
BOXES have been closed, adjourn to
some other place to count the votes.
Whenever this is done be sure to
keep your eyes on the ballot boxes,
as in all probability one or more of
them will be exchanged on the way
for others which have been prepared
for the purpose.
Instruct our friends not t. under
take to put their own ballots in the
boxes but to hand their ballots to
the judges of election. This is i'm
portant. Be sure that all our voters
do this.
We also recomme d that you in
st~uct our people to vote au open
ballot, SO that everybody can see how
they are voting, and it will be more
dangerous for the poll holders to
cOunt them wropo
