Instructions Sent Out to VOters-The
Full Ticket.

1t is said by Republican politicians that
there has never been a time in the history
of the municipal politics of this city when
such a lively and general interest has been
manifested so early in the campaign. In
every ward and precinct in the city Repub-
Leans during the last week nave done lit
tie else than discuss the merits of the
various candidates for whom it is their
privilege to vote at the Republican pri-
maries, which will be held from IL a. m.
to S p. m. to-day.
For three weeks the Republican city
committee has had its hands full in looking
after the various details which have arisen
under the new primary election law. but
everything has been done with a careful
hess that would permit of no mistake. and
late yesterday afternoon Chairman Logs
don announced that the committee would
have nothing further to do until after the
primaries to-day.
Yesterday morning the committee sent
out all of the ballot boxes 10 the various
wards with instructions as TO when and
how to open them. Last night the election
inspectors were all given the oath of Of
flee and this morning VIII do as much for
the judges, clerks and other officers who
will preside at the primaries; 1t is be-
l!eved that few mistakes will be made by
the voters in marking their ballots to-
day. and if the following instructions,
which are being sent out by Chairman
| Lossdon, are closely followed, mis-marked
ballots will be reduced 10 a minimum:
INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTERS.
1.-The voter. on entering the voting in
| closure, shall give his name and address
to the clerks and receive a ballot from the
Inspector and a pencil from one of the
judges. He then shall proceed to mark his
ballot at the table provided for that pur-
pose. A cross shall be placed in the small
$500 49,, 81. am of nach candidate
for whom the voter desires to vote. One
candidate for mayor. city clerk police
fudge and one ward councilman only can be
voted for. Six councilmen at large may be
voted for and no more. Should more than
six councilmen at large or more h one
candidate for any other city office be vot-
ed for the vote shall not be counted for
anv candidate for that office. No mark
shall be placed upon the ballot elsewhere
than in the square before the name of the
candidate desired TO be voted for. The
ballot shall then be folded in such manner
that the initials OF the clerks shall appear.
but so as not TO disclose the way the voter
has marked his ballot The ballot shall
then be handed TO the inspector and the
pencil TO one of the judges. whereupon the
voter shall Immediately leave the room"
II Is probable that the most difficulty will
be experienced i'm voting for the councilmen
at large. but If each voter remembers that
his ballot. in all probability, is sure to
count.
