ONLY SAFE WAY.

The safe way to split ticket how
ever, is to mark a cross (X) in the
square before the name of each candidate
Tor whom you want to vote and leave
circle blank.
3 Another method of making bai-
lot, that is, to vote for some of the can
didates on one ticket and the remaining
candidates on another ticket, leave all
the circles blank and mark a cross in
the square to the left of each candidate
of your choice. A ballot so marked viii
be counted only for the candidates
marked. But be careful not to mark
more names than there are persons tn
be elected to Office or your ballot will not
be counted for such Office.
4 If the voter desires to vote for 4
candidate not on the ticket of his choict
he may write in the name of the candi-
date of his choice in the blank space on
the ticket, making a square opposite the
name and placing cross (X) in such
square
Where the word ballot" is used IN
this instruction the entire sheet given tn
the voter by the judge of election is
meant. Where the word ticket is
used only a single party group OF can

BOOST THE RATES
Express Companies Find Some-

The new 1ate law, which is
given as an excuse for many
changes in railroad rates, now
appears to have had it's effect
on the express business as we'll
according to a report eminating

decided increase in rates by
both the Great Northern and

pany several months ago, and
these advances have resulted
in general protest on the part
of regular shippers.
For some time past all the
express companies in the
United States have had uniform
rates for the shipment of
general merchandise, b u
hitherto the two local COM
panies have had their own rat
es on general special matter
which includes principally pro-
duce, milk, fruits, poultry and
other perishable articles. The
rates have been recently re-
vised in order to conform with
those issued by the other ex-
press companies of the country
with the result that some have
been lowered and others raised.
The rate on general special
matter to Grand Forks has
been raised five cents per
hundred. while that to Chicago
has been lowered ten cents.
According to the local agents
of the two companies the
