HOW TO CAST YOUR VOTE
Attention to instruction VII. Lessen
Number Of Defective Ballots.

For the benefit Of every voter we
reproduce below the official instruc-
tons for marking and casting ballots
at the freemen's meeting next Tues
day, September I. Careful attention
to these Instructions will lessen the
number Of defective ballots and make
every man S vote certain of counting.
Sample ballots are posted at the
city hall and other public places for
the information of voters:
Give your name and residence to
the ballot clerk, who, on finding your
name on the check list will admit
you within the rail and hand you
ballot.
Go alone to one of the voting booths
and prepare your ballot by making a
cross in the square at the head of
column, or at the right of the name
Of each person for whom you wish to
vote.
Vote only for such number of per-
sons for each office to be filled as the
law directs.
A cross in the square at the head of
column is vote for all the candi-
dates named in column.
To vote for only part Of the candi-
dates for either party, The square at
the top of a column cannot be used
but the voter must make cross in
the square at the right Of the name or
names Of his choice.
i the voter marks more names than
there are persons to be elected to an
office, or if for any reason it is impos,
sible to determine the voters choice
for any Office to be filled, his ballot
Shall not be counted for such Office.
Should you wish to vote for some
person whose name is not on the bal
lot, fill in the name of such person in
one of the blank spaces under the
proper heading and make a cross in
the space at the right of such name.
If you spoil ballot return it to the
ballot clerk, who will give you an
other. You cannot have more than
two extra ballots, or three in all.
You cannot occupy the booth more
than five minutes, in case those who
have not voted are in waiting.
Before leaving the booth the voter
must fold his ballot, without display
ing the marks thereon, and keep the
same SO folded until he has delivered
it to the presiding officer, when he
shall forthwith proceed outside of the
guard rail by the exit, and shall not
again enter.
You are not allowed to carry away
ballot, whether spoiled or not.
A voter who declares to the presid.
ing officer, that he is physically CT
mentally unable TO mark his ballot,
can receive assistance from any one of
the board of civil authority selected
by him.
In order that the voters choice NAV
be clearly shown, it is urged that no
marks be made upon the ballot except
ing the cross ia the square at the head
of column or ..at The light of the
uamc of each person voted for.
Erasing il name, marking ballot
on the left Of the names, or deSignat-
Ing choice by anything more or less
than cross in thea spaces prov ided,
may render the ballot Void.

AN UNAUTHORIZED MoUTHPIEcE.
The "Financial Review BOlsterinE
Up the Telephone Monopoly.

Up the Telephone Monopoly.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The following article appeared in the
Financial Review, paper published in the
interests of the American Security and
Trust Company of this city:
Chesapeake and Potomac has stood in
for a $40 per share rise on the shelving of
the projected new telephone company's BILL
our last report quoted this stock at IS.
ana sales during past week We're made at
10. The real business interests of the city
are quite well satisfied with the result of
the defeated new legislation. The present
company are giving first-class service and
can and Will meet in due season the de-
mands of local subscribers in the matter of
cost In the meantime the foreign capital
lists who propose to found a $4,000 plant
on the payment of $500 must bide their
time Chesapeake and Potomac stock pays
4 per cent on the par Of $780, and is there
fore an exceedingly fair investment at pres
ent price. That there is little floating stock
at current prices has actuated the smart
advance"
When and by what means the editor of
the Financial Review became the authorized
mouthpiece of the business men of this
city l do not know, but one thing how
ever, L do Know and that Is that the real
business interests of the city are not salts
ned with the result of the defeated tele-
phone legislation, and that fact will be
made manifest December next unless in
the meantime the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone company see hit to meet the
people by fair and equitable rates. l am in
receipt of letter. under date Of June II,
from one of our leading business men, from
which quote as follows:
There will be a large amount of evidence
added to that which has already been pro-
cured by the attorneys for the Telephone
subscribers Association from persons who
have been induced by the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company to put in tel
ephones because Of their advertising tele-
phones at 10 cents per day, l have been
one of these victims and have put in two
measured-service telephones. which will
cost me from % to 30 per cent more at the
end Of the year than the highest prices
charged for yearly services prior to this
son."
The business men will await with inter-
est the reduction in rates suggested by the
Review. which will. we trust, be substan-
tial and satisfactory, but the quotation
above makes us skeptical. Fair treatment
In the past would have avoided all conflict
between the company and it's subscribers,
and nothing short Of fair treatment will
safeguard the future
