THE NEW BALLOT LAW is
MISCONSTRUED.

Much confusion has arisen in
Crested Butte regarding the new
ballot law. An erroneous i'm
preston as TO the manner of vot-
ing a mixed ticket has been circu-
lated locally and given credence.
Read our explanation:
AS we explained in previous
issue the emblems are abolished
and at tho head of the ballot the
following now appears:
| hereby vote a straight. t....... ticket except
where | hsvo marked opposite the name of
some other candidate
If it is your intention to vote an
absolutely straight ticket write the
name of your party in the blank
space. That is sufficient.
If you desire to vote a mixed
ticket place a cross mark opposite
the name of each candidate you
wish to vote for. Another way:
You may write the party name in
the blank space and then if you
scratch any one or more of your
party candidates simply mark an
X opposite his or her opponent.
THIS is bonh5'eLy all that is EecesSa,y.
De not arao a line tAyoNgA tie nanle
ct dHv eaNaiaate.
The impression that any names
should be marked out is occasioned
by the following clause in the law:
In case there are two or more candidates upon
each ticket for Offices bearing tile sumo name
VIXEN the voter fills in the party name, and also
marks opposite n particular candidate upon
some other ticket for that office, Lr shall draw
a line through She name of the candidate upon
tile ticket he has filed in the party name of,
which he does not wish counted by reason of
his having voted for candidate upon an oppo-
site ticket for that office.
This clause in the law provides
exclusively for groups of candidates
running on the several tickets for
the same office, as for instance the
regents of the university. Two
regents are to be elected at each
state election, hence each party has
two candidates for the regents
Office on its ticket. In this case
the elector is instructed to vote
for two" If the voter wishes to
vote u straight Republican ticket
with the exception of one of the
candidates of that party for regent,
and simply places an X opposite
the name of one of the Democratic
candidates, the latter choice is made
apparent, but he does not indicate
which one cf the Republican can
didates he has selected. Therefore,
it is necessary that in addition to
writing the name of his party at
the head of the ballot and placing
n cross mark after the name of the
Democratic candidate for regent,
he must drawn line through the
name of the Republican candidate
for regent whom he wishes to
scratch, in order TO make his ballot
complete. Were this not done the
election judges would have no way
Of determining which one of the
Republican candidates was scrat-
ched.
In the coming county election
THIS PROvISO HAS NO APPLICATION,
as there is but one candidate on
each ticket for offices bearing the
same name.
1t may be proper to add that in
order to vote a straight ticket tie
party name can be ignored entirely
10y the voter going through the list
of nominations and placing cross
after the name of each candidate
he wishes to vote for. This is
merely optional, however.
