NINTH DISTRICT CANVASS BOOK.
The holders of the books of fifty will sub
divide these fifties into squads of ten, en-
rolling ten names on the card herewith
sent, and deliver card each to five trusty
and active workers, who will each be in
special charge of the ten voters allotted to
him.
The chiefs of fifties will ask for frequent
reports from the chiefs of tens.
a few more of the smaller books and
cards will be sent than are necessary for
enrolling the voters at each precinct. They
are for use by the precinct committee in
canvassing the voters among themselves,
but care must be taken to keep sufficient
number of each for the subdivisions Of
fifties and tens.
As to the colored voters, each precinct
committee must act on its own best judg-
ihant, being diligent and vigilant, at the
proper time, to scrutinize the registration
books, and have stricken therefrom the
names of all who ere dead, removed, con-
victed of c,ime, or in anywise disqualified,
keeping lists Of the same and putting them
before the registrars on last day of regis
tration.
This book will be placed by the precinct
chairman the day before the election in
the hands Of relable and energetic DEM
ocrat, who will have it at the polls before
the time of their opening, and will check

registration book of the precinct.
After every white voter in the precinct
has been canvassed, their names will be
alphabetically arranged in this book.

duced to vote our ticket should be regis
tered at once, without waiting for the reg
ular day. Be sure to see after this.
The politics of every voter enrolled must
be indicated by letter opposite each
name; D for Democrat, r for Republican,
L for uncertain.
The uncertain voters will be canvassed
according to the best judgment Of the pre-.
cinct committees, and separate lists OF
them should be kept constantly on hand
so that each committeeman will become
familiar with their names, and will SET
that every possible influence is brought tC
bear upon them to induce them to vote
our ticket.
After this book has been so prepared
and not later than ten days before the
election, the precinct chairman will al

vote our ticket in sections of fifty, and en-
ter their names on the smaller books here
