TWO POPULAR CANDIDATES.

W. b. Burleigh is the cnterpris-
ing candidate who advertises his
claim by means Of a fancily printed
blotter. This is on the desks of the
leading business men as constant
reminder of the candidate and of the
silver republican ticket in general.
The display lines of the blotter con-
sist of the following words; "For
County Clerk and Recorder, w. B.
Burleigh, Silver Republican Candi-

cut of daddy dollar, with sub
scription beneath it of "Free coin

which seeks to protect and serve all
interests alike
Harry L. Jones is the candidate
for assessor upon this popular tick
ct, and his friends in this quarter are
numerous. He belongs to the army
OF toilers, as his life has been devot-
ed to the pursuits of mining and ag
riculture, and we'll has he earned
preferment and promotion. Mr..
Jones is thorough gentleman, pos.

HOW TO MARK THE BALLOT.

The HERALD has devoted some
time TO investigating the question of
marking the ballot under the new
law, and while the facts brought out
may be clear to many of our readers
we feel justified in presenting them
Tor the sake Of the few who may not
fully understand them.
An X in the circle at the head of
the ticket votes straight ticket.
An X in the circle at the head and
All \ in front of each candidate up.
on the same ticket votes a straight
ticket, although the additional marks
outside the top circle would be un-
necessary.
Don't make an \ in the top circle
unless you want to vote straight
ticket.
To vote mixed ticket, omit the
y from the top of circle, and mark
\ before each name for whom you
wish to vote, beginning at the top
of the ticket and running to the bot
tom.
Ii a voter marks an y in the top
circle, say over the republican tick
ct, and then places an \ before the
name of a particular candidate on
any other ticket, this ballot will he
counted for every candidate on the
republican ticket, except the one for
the Office which is checked on anoth-
er ticket, and the candidate check
ed on the side must be counted.
TO make this palmer, suppose
voter marks \ in the circle at the
head of the populst ticket, then
places an additional y before the
name Of W. b. Burleigh, for clerk
and recorder This ballot will be
straight populist except for clerk
and recorder, where Burleigh must
receive the vote. Such is the Mon
tana court decision in Gelsthorpe vs..
Dickcrman, which decision is based
upon thc evident intention Of the
voter.
Coults have not been strict in
their Interpretation Of election laws,
holdiag that in every case the vot-
er's intention must decide. But
election Judges are apt to be more
technical and less mercful, on which
account the only safe course is to
mark an \ before each and every
candidate for whom you wish to vote,
leaving blank the top circle.
Last but not least of the points to
be observed is that the voter should,
before going into the booth, first
study a sample ballot long enough
to mentally decide how it should be
marked; then let him go to the
booth, and deliberately, not hurried
ly, check his convictions. Take
plenty of time, and vote exactly the
way you feel and believe, regardless
of the advice or consent of any pow.

On Thursday (midnlghu Oct. &,

A GROSS POLITICAL FALLACY

1t is gross political fallacy for
Il voter to say; Il will not vote for
Mr.. A or Mr.. u because he has no
chance TO win, and | do not want to
lose my vote" Democrats today are
shamefully playing upon this fAllacy
by vociferously proclaiming that a
vote for Hogan is blank. We do
not believe it, but let MS for argu-
ment's sake admit that it is true.
Who can think of patriot being
moved by such logical rot? Who
can conceive of Jackson or Jeff
erson swerving to the right or left
by fear of losing a vote: If patri-
OTIS saw no other object in the exer.
else Of the franchise save the attain
ment of victory, the republic would
present to the world a state of polit-
ical putrefaction, wrestling the palm
from Denmark even in her putrid
day. lf not above the fear of losing
Il vote, how could the world have
found Cromwell, an Emmett or a
Henry. Heroes in mind and heart,
men dare to fight, to suffer and even
TO die for what conscience tells them
is right. And yet this silly. coward
ly philosophy which says, "lf YOU
vote for Hogan you will lose your
vote" is being promulgated by no
less paper than the Anaconda
Standard. 1t wants no Judgment
Of ours to say that it is a most faila-
cious doctrine.
Let the voter remember that the
ballot, in its proper exercise, is but
the sacred expression of an honest
belief, and every citizen should he
willing TO stand or fall for what he
believes to be right, In principle
and in practice let every man vote
for the right as he sees the right, and
let the result take care of itself.
Never will popular rights and lib.
critics be securely established until
voters think more Of causes and less
of results.
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1898-11-05

Don't hurry when marking your
ballot. Take plenty Of time, and be-
fore foldihg i, gently away, careful
ly inspect your work, to see that you
have made no errors. The limit of
time for marking will not be pressed
in this precinct. Think what BRYAN
says about the ballot, and vote what
your conscience says is right.
