How to Mark
Your Ballot
Tuesday

That there is going to be a vast
amount of scratching of ballots at
the coming election is apparent
from the large number of inGuir-
les concerning the proper method
of doing this, even the instruc.
tions with the advertised ballot
sheet apparently not making this
clear to many.
The Review has been asked nu>
merous times on behalf of Repub-
Leans how they shall mark their
ballots to vote the Republican Ma
tional ticket and the Democratic
State and legislative ticket at the
coming election.
In the first place, it is to be re-
member that the ticket voted can
not be in two columns on the bal
lot sheet at once. All of the tick
cts on the sheet but one must be
stricken out. Then the names on
that ticket you don't want to vote
must be stricken out and the
names of the candidates for whom
you want to vote written in the
blank space below each.
For instance, Republicans desir-
ing to vote the Republican Ma
tional ticket with the Democratic
State and Legislative tickets,
must strike out all the ballots on
the sheet but the Democratic or
Republican. If they leave the lat.
ter they must strike out each
name on the Republican State and
Legislative tickets and write in
the names Of the Democratic NOM
inees for the same offices.
1t would require less labor, how
ever, to strike from the sheet all
the tickets save the Democratic
and simply substitute the National
Republican for the National Dem
ocratic ticket, electors and all,
leaving the Democratic State and
Legislative ticket untouched. 1t
must be remembered that it is es-
sential to vote the Democratic
Legislative ticket in order to
vote for repeal Of the Dawson
laws.
It is simple enough. In a nut
shell, simply strike out the names
you don't want to vote and write
in below them the names you do
want to vote. But remember that
all the names you vote for must
be III one column.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine Of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get DR..
Green's reliable remedies at D. A.

A BLOW THE GOLD STANDARD

The Republicans are hard people o
console. No sooner docs everything
seem to come their way than some fool
ISL fellow does something to show how
easily that great financial center
Wall Street can be upset, and Black
Fridays be made. If they were really
sure of themselves and did not do
things on wind, and buster, and lying
these periodical cases of compton
fits would not come to trouble their
waking thoughts, or haunt them in
their dreams. One Tom Lawson, who
has been telling of Wall Street thieve
ry and corporation pIundering, adger-
tised throughout the land that certain
stocks were to be heaped on the mar
ket and advised his friends to sell
Amalgainated Copper. 1t is
not generally known that on the stock
exchange one does not necessarily have
to own stock to sell it. Selling and
buying stocks there is largely betting
tn at the stock wsll rise or fall during
that days business, or before certain
time. What he told his friends to do
was not to SELL their stocks really.
because they had no stock, but to put
up so much money in the shape Of a
wager that the stocks he named would
decline in price. This they did, and
won, for the stocks did decline rapidly
and to such an extent as to almost
cause a panic. His enemies, we hear,
were much hurt, and now they have
sworn vengeance. But that is a small
part of it. The great party of pros
perity came very near seeing panic,
and coming at this time when the
National Treasury is empty, there
could have been no relief from that
source, so there was fear and trembling
and some knees perhaps smote together.
1t would have been an awful blow to
the gold standard if one man could
have pulled the props from under it.

The introduction of bills to reduce
the number of Southern Congressman
because OF alleged disfranchisement of
negroes will be followed by most
unhealthy excitement during the re-
nader of this session. Messrs. Platt
and Crumpacker may attempt in vain
to reimprison the Afrite which they
have released. John Sharp Williams
has met the proposition with defiance
and Carmack with joint resolution
to investigate and expose the amount
of money collected from trusts and
others to effect presidential elections.
Platt's bill would reduce the total
number OF Southern congressman nine
teen, but the Senator with an exhibi-
ton of preten ded generosity alleges
that if the Constitution were strictly
and rigidly enforced the reduction
would be not less than thirty. In the
cut-down proposed by Platt's bill
Georgia would lose more than any
other state, being reduced from eleven
to eight. 1t is safe to anticipate that
the controversy thus stupidity begun
will end in tumult SURPRISING the
