To avoid the chances Of having your ballot thrown out
counted under the election law, the safest
way for everybody is to straight ticket This is
done by making cross with black pencil in the circle
Don't monkey with the squares. After you have made
cross in the circle CT the ticket you wish to vote if you
touch single square with your pencil your vote is
thrown away The Republican Democratic and Popu-
list central committees seeing TO it that the
voters understand how under the new election
law Each committee is sending out instructions to
voters The Republicans enjon their supporters to put
cross in the circle the head of the Republican ticket
and nowhere else on ballot while the Democrats
Populists like the Independents in Shawnee county,
telling their people to make cross in the circle
but to make cross in squares opposite the name Of
each candidate whom they wish vote If the voter
marks his ballot wrong this year viii not be because
he hasn't been told do it right Or as the Law
renee Journal puts it; while other newspapers are
filing their columns with advice to voters as to the
proper manner of marking their ballots the Journal has
