POINTERS ON HOW TO
VOTE.

Tickets must be voted by
cross (ND mark in the space pro-
vided therefor to the right of
and oppo' tie the name Of every
person voted for.
The cross OK mark must be
within the square provided for
the purpose and must not ex-
tend beyond, and there must be
no other mark whatever on the
ballot. Any mark whatever on
the ballot except the cross marks
whether in the square or out of
it, will cause the ballot to be
thrown out. Ballots torn or de-
faced in any way cannot be
counted.
Voters are allowed three bal
lots, if necessary, in case mis-
takes are made, but more than
seven minutes cannot be con-
sumed in marking a ballot.
If more names are marked
than there are persons to be
elected to an office the entire
ballot must be thrown out.
Ballots must be marked with
the indelible pencil found in the
election booth. If marked in
any other way they must be
thrown out.
