BE CAREFUL IN VOTING
FoIIoU Directions on Top of EveTy
BaIlot-SpEt Tickets Troublesome.

Although the present method OF voting In this
city has been followed several years, and al
though the directions for voting printed
plainly on the top OF every ballot politicians ssy
there is every probability that thousands OF
ballots will be rejected on account Of improper
marking at the coming election. just thou
sands have been rstected al past elections In
this city. Most Of the trouble comes from vot-
ing split tickets by electors who are too care
less too lazy TO follow the plain directions
the ballot.
Few Republican voters are ignorant that
they need 10 be told that the safest way TO vote
Is to MAKE cross mark In the circle under the
emblem IN the Republican column. and make no
other mark whatever on the ballot The direo-
lions printed every ballot tell them that II
they want 10 vote q split ticket the proper and
legal way Is not to make any mark In the circle
under the party emblem, but to make CROSS
marks in the spaces at the left Of every name
OF a candidate for whom they wish to vote.
To q split ticket legally and safely. there
fore. requires more time and effort, and the
voter ordinarily must be careful to vote for only
one candidate for the same Office or his entire
ballot Will be rejected. In q Presidential cleo
ton. the voting Of a split ticket means that
cross marks must be placed in front OF the
Of each Presidential elector Of only one
party. while marks are to be placed before the
names of candidates for other offices in other
party columns The result is that many voters
RdOpt q method against the directions on the
ballot and make blunders which cause their bal
lots to be thrown out
Some Of the ballots marked improperly In
every election re!1cted for the obvious reason
that the voter rnez:t to Identify his ballot
Sometimes when q straight ticket is voted there
IL tearing OF the paper In the circle, either Dy
pushing the point Of a pencil through II or rub
bing IL with q coin the apparent intention OF
the voter being to furnish evidence 20 somebody
that he has Toted q certain way. This Is the
practice adopted by men who sell their votes
and need to furnish proof to the worker at the
polls that they have delivered tho gooda."
