The electors Of Madison have several
important duties to perform at the polls
tomorrow, and should fret remember
that the polls are open continuously
from 8 q. m. to 4 p. m, only. There will
be four separate ballots to vote which
will be deposited in four separate ballot
boxes. The large ballot for city officers
contains three separate tickets, the first
two on the left being practically the
same, except as to aldermen, under the
names OF Good Government Ticket"
and mon Partisan Ticket" These oo0.
tain the names OF all candidates for
ward and city officers. except the name
OF H. p. Smith for mayor, which consti.
tutes the third ticket on the right. To
vote for these candidates . cross (X)
! should be placed before each mans
name in the square to the left OF each
name. At the bottom Of this ballot is
also the proposition to sell the old or.
tesian we'll lots. Anyone in favor Of
selling these lots will vote for the propo-
sitiou by placing a cross before the
word, "Yes,' on the left. II against the
sale, place a cross before the word, NO."
on the left.
0The safest way to vote the Australian
ballot tomorrow and be SUR your ballot
will be counted right, is to put a cross
(X) at the left Of each mans name you
wish 60 vote for, and not in the circle at
the top.
There are two smaller ballots, one on
the question Of issuing $4,000 bonds to
build a new school house. A vote in
favor OF the proposition is given by plac.
ing a GROSS before the word, "les," on
the left and q vote against by placing a
GROSS before the word, mo"
The other small and very important
ballot is voted in the same manner, for
or against selling Intoxicating liquors at
retail in the city. The question on the
ballot is, "Shall Intoxicating liquors be
sold at reta,l?" "Yes" or"No." A cross
before the word"Yee," means q vote to
! license saloons. A CROSS before the
word, "No,'' means q vote against having
e~aloons.
All these three ballots are voted under
the Australian system, and women have
not the privilege OF voting them.
The fourth ballot is the old fashioned
ticket for school officers on which you
scratch out 9 mans name il you don't
like him and write in another. For
these officers, women have the privilege
to vote.
The Judges OF election will also have
their troubles tomorrow. Between
steering the four different ballots into
their respective boxes. keeping two poll
lists-one for the regular voting and one
On the school bond election-aud making
returns OF the vote on city and school
officers to the city auditor, and the re
turns Of tho school bond vote to thu
school board, mistakes enough, no doubt
will happen; but il the voter thoroughly
understands his part it will materially
lessen their difficulties.
