DIDATES TlHAlu RESULTS CAN
NOT BE INCURRED OUT.
This afternoon the Democrats of New
Castle county are holding their prl-
mary elections. In several Of the dis.
tricts there are spirited contests which
the counting OF the ballots can alone
determine. The polls opened al
o'clock and will close at this even
ing, after which the County Commit
tee will receive the returns and an
nounce the result. The vote will be
light on account OF the small reglstra-
| tion.
The names of all candidates are on
one ticket, and the voter desiring not
to vote for a man simply has to draw
line through the name that is objec-
tionab.e to him. Tickets can be secured
from the candidates or at the polls, |
and voter can mark 1t wherever he |
gLeases. There will be no booths at
the voting places, and the voter will
merely have to hand his ballot to the
inspector or election officer and see
that it is deposited in the box. Each
voter will have to give his name and
address, and II his name is on the reg
istration books his ballot will be re-
ceived.
