Vote early to-day,
There has been unusually large registration
for to-day's election. particularly in the Repub-
lican districts At some Of the polling places
in the Republican districts there will he diff
Guilty in getting in the entire registered vote
unless the voters go to the polls early
At . p. m the polls close for all voters who
have not obtained their ballots in the polling
places. The polling places will be shut at that
hour against any registered electors who may
be standing in line outside. Every Republican
voter should bear this is mind and make sure
of his vote by going to the polls as early as
possible.
Another reason for early voting to-day and
for being at the polls early to protect the rights
of other voters you know personally. is that
Tammany leaders in some Of the Republican
districts have formed bands of repeaters who
are to be sent early to the polls with orders 70
attempt to vote in the names Of Republicans
who may he late. The orders are for these re-
peaters to be at the polls before o'clock. If
the election officers allow a repeater TO vote in
your name in your district before you go te Sc
polls, you will lose your vote.
This danger was made known to George w
Morgan, the Superintendent of Elections, yester-
day. He said:
1 have just received information from sources
believe to he reliable that the citizens of New
York face a great danger in losing their votes.
This information shows that an attempt on Il
large scale Will be made before o'clock tO-mOr
row to vote the names of men who
legally registered. before these men get TO the
polls. This is planned TO take place in a num-
Der of different localities, and I will make prep
aratiOns TO meet it the best can, but the CttI-
Zens will have TO watch out for themselves as
well. Everybody should vote early. 1t Will be
the safest plan.
The best and safest way for every Republican
to vote to-day is to vote the straight ticket. To
attempt TO a split ticket according TO the
rules printed at the top of every official ballot
will mean much delay in the voting booth and
may lead to mistakes in marking the ballot
which would cause it to be thrown out as de-
fectve. To follow the direction on the ballot
in voting Il split ticket would require making
ffty-three cross marks on the ballot.
If any Republican voter feels that he must
vote split ticket, let him make the cross mark
in the circle at the top of his party column and
then make the voting mark in the space before
the name of the candidate in another column for
whom he particularly wants TO vote. This man
ner of voting a split ticket is described in the
election law, in the directions for counting the
vote. follows:
II the elector shall have made voting mark
In the circle above one ticket only, ana Shai
have also made a voting mark in the voting
space or spaces before the name or names or
a candidate candidates on one or more other
tickets, he shall be deemed 10 nave east mas
vote for all the candidates on the tcket so
marked in the circle, except for those FOR Whom
he has indicated his intention not to vote bF
making voting mark in the voting space before
the name or names of individual candidates,
on one or more other tickets, or by writing
name in the blank column; and the candidate or
candidates so individually voted for on such
other ticket tickets shall be deemed 10 De

In an election so important as to-day's. every
voter should he careful not 10 invalidate his
ballot. Therefore use only q pencil with a black
lead. Be careful to make only the cross marx
in the right place on the ballot. and make 10

Do not unfold your ballot fo- marking until
