An incident of yesterdays election
goes TO show that in the anxiety OF
the candidate to secure the vote Of
the young man casting his first ballot,
he may impress n lesson that will WORK
to his disadvantage. a republican can
didate in one of the wards where a
hard fight was won by the democratic
nominee. took to the polls one of these
first voters-a young man whose fam
lily was strongly republican. The
voter, not having much knowledge Of
the ballot inquired of the candidate
the most certain way of marking i,
and was impressed with the fact that
to make sure of having his vote count
ed in the right way. he had better mark
a cross in the circle at the head OF the
ticket.
The young man listened attentively
TO the advice of the candidate, and
thaSs he learned the lesson well was
shown by his marking of the ballot.
AS he tells it, he entered the booth,
somewhat embarrassed, but with the
advice of the politician running in his
mind. He was in no hurry and care
fully scanned the ballot. The result
was that he saw some names in the
democratic column that he desired to
vote for, and in accordance with the
statement of the candidate, the best
and most certain way for him to vote
for these men would be to place a
cross in the circle at the top of this
column. He did so, and as a result his
instructor lost much needed vote. be-
cause he was too anxious 10 have the
young man vote a straight ticket.
