ed. 1t would have been more c0nve-

which the count could be more easily
had, but as this has net been done the
board OF education can utilize the box
e5 which were used in former elections
and which can be easily procured, and
should be used for these ballots. Moth
ing more than directed by law should
be printed on the ballots for Governor
and State officers, or those for members
| Of Assembly and county officers.

names required to be OH separate bal
lot, and no ticket should contain the
names Of more persons than such cleo

tickets with mere names upon them
