HOW TO VOTE
FOR PRESIDENT

The official ballot which will be
provided all voters will contain the
names of all candidates for President
and Vice-President, and beneath
them will appear the names of their
electors, or candidates for electors.
To vote for Bryan and Stevenson you
will simply have to run q pencil
through the names of Mckinley and
Roosevelt, and through the names of
all other candidates for these Offices
our own candidates excepted. All
you have to do is to leave standing
the names of Bryan and Stevenson,
and erase the names of their Compel
itors. But here is the exact provis-
ion of the law; perhaps it will be
clearer to the average reader than
what we have written on the subject:
1t shall be the duty of the eleoto-
raj boards of the several counties and
cities within the State, within twenty
days preceding such election for Pres
ident and Vioe-President, to cause to
be printed on the official ballot pro-
vided for in this act the name of each
candidate for President and Vice.
President, and group under the names
of the candidates for President and
Vice.President of each political par
ty the names of the electors nominal
ed by the political party Of such can
didates; and the qualified voters at
said election shall designate their
preference for any candidates for
President and Vice President BY
SCRATCHING THE NAMES OF
THE OTHER CANDIDATES for
President and Vice-President, as il
provided in Section 10 of this act,
and the ballots shall be counted as
they would be counted if the names
of the electors had been scratched.
Clarke courier. [volume] (Berryville, Va.) 1869-1997, 1900-10-31

Mr.. Stevenson's view is q hopeful
one; but no mere hopeful than that
which Chairmen Jones put forth.
Mr.. Jones believes Bryan will car
ry New York, and that "our chances
for carrying Ohio are better than the
republicans" And, furthermore, Mr..
Jones says al have no doubt of the
election of Mr.. Bryan"
On the other hand, the New York
Herald. in its Sunday edition, put
forth al elaborate statement, in which
it gave Mckinley 2S2 electoral votes
and Bryan 165-a majority of 5S for
Mckinley, against AZ in 1896.
The surroundings of the Herald
are sll anti Bryan-s fact which
should be taken into consideration in
vsluing its predictions As viewed
by us, the situation is such rs to de
mand the most energetic and untir-
ing work on the part of every demo-
crat. And especially is it important
that we should bring out our full
strength for our congressional nomi
nees, while we are doing our best for
Bryan and Stevenson.

The Planet Venus.

The planet Venus, at this time,
the most beautiful star in the heav
ems, is a morning star and is visible
to the naked eye even at noon. Per-
scns unsocustomned to the stars
should look in the East a few min
utes after sunrise, when it is easily
located. BY following it with the
eye, occasionally during the day,it can
be located at noon. Before sunrise
Its spendor is simply magnificent.
1t is 6S,000,0O0 miles from the sun
and its day is nearly equal our own,
being 233 hours long. Its year is 224
days and 10 hours long. Its diane
ter is nearly equal that of the earth
being about 1900 miles. Hence in
size it is not comparable with Jupi-
ter, still lingering as an evening star.
The diameter of the latter is $4,000
miles. The brilliancy of Venus is
due to its relative nearness to the
sun. Owing to this relative near
ness it receives twice the amount of
light and heat that we receive. The
two stars rather brilliant in the West
just after sunset, are the planets
Jupiter aud Saturn. In this conec-
it may not be out of place to correct
an erronemous impression that the
sun does not move. The sun, the cen
ire of our solar system, is sweeping
on through space on an orbit, the
length of which is practically indie
terminsble, carrying with it the en-
tire system of planets but not all,
the stars. Some of them belong to
other systems. While they, too, are
moving, their vast distances from us
renders them apparently fixed, but
not actually so. Even Polaris, or
the pole star, is moving, and in the
course of time will cease to be the
polar star.-Manasse Journal.

Hundreds of thousands of these
