width of the ballot. Wewill pub
lish the entire ballot a week or
two before the election.
In the above, it must be borne
in mind that the Republican and
Democratic State tickets will APP
pear under the respective party
emblems.
If you desire to vote a straight
ticket, make a cross x mark in
the circle under the emblem of
whichever ticket you desire to
vote, and nowhere else on the
ballot.
If you mark 10 the circle at the
top of ticket, and mark in the
squares on any other ticket, your
ballot will be declared void and
not counted.
If you mark in twoor more cir
cles on the ballot, your ballot will
also be declared void.
To vote straight ticket, make
a cross mark in the circle at the
top and then stop. Any other
mark on the ballot will ruin it.
If you do not desire to vote a
straight ticket, do not make any
cross x mark in any of the cir
cles, but proceed to make your
cross x marks in the squares at
the right of the names of the can
didates for whom you wish to
vote, on whatever ticket they ap-
pear. You can vote for whoever
you please, on whatever ticket
you please, but you must not
mark in the circle,
There is nothing in the law to
prevent the voter from voting for
whom he chooses, on different
tickets, but to do it, you must
not mark in any circle.
For instance, a Democrat de-
sires to vote his state ticket, he
also desires to vote for county
treasurer on the Republican tick
ct, there being no candidate on
his ticket, he must make cross x
marks at the right of all the can
didates on his ticket until he
reaches county treasurer, then
go to the Republican column and
mark the cross after the candi-
date and go back to the Demo-
cratic column and continue the
cross marks after the remainder
of the candidates.
Likewise, Republican has
some friends on the Democratic
county ticket for whom he wishes
to vote, he also must keep out of
the circle and make the cross x
marks opposite the names on his
state ticket until he reaches the
candidates on the opposite ticket
and there mark the cross after
the candidates names.
To vote for a candidate whose
name is not printed on the ballot
write the name under the title
of the proper Office in the blank
column and make the cross mark
in the square after the written
name.
The writing of a name of acan-
didate for an Office in the blank
column when his name isalready
printed on the ballot renders the
whole ballot void.
Any other mark on the ballot
other than the cross mark, makes
the whole ballot void.
The cross mark made any
where on the ballot other than in
