How to Vote the Primary Ballot

AS there seems to be a mSunder-
standing about how to vote the
ticket at the primaries, perhaps a
little information as to how the bal
lots are made al d how to vote them
will be of some service to the voters.
When you enter the voting place
you will be handed the primary
ticket. 1t will be several tickets all
fastened together at the top. There
will be ticket for each party. You
will take all these tickets into the
voting booth and tear out the ticket
you want to vote. Now remember
you can only vote one OF these
tickets. For example, suppose you
want to vote the Republican ticket
and there is a man on the Demo-
cratic ticket yon want 20 vote for.
II YOU should write the Democrat
name on the Republican ticket it
will not help the Democrat any as
the vote will be counted as Re-
publican vote and would do him no
got d. Remember you must vote
only one ticket.
Now abont marking the ballot.
You cannot mark this ticket at the
top as you can the Australian ballot
at the general election. On the
primary ballot you must make a
cross like this behind every man s
name that you want to vote for and
for only one for each Office. For
example, suppose there was two or
three names under the words, For
Governor Tor any of the other Of
6ces) mark only one. You can not
vote for two men for the same Of
flee. Be sure and read your ballot
take your time, don't hurry. Be
sure you vote for the man you want
and not for some candidate simply
because his name is the first name
on the list. Be careful about this,
and also remember that in Wiscon-
sin it is more important to get out
and vote at the primaries than at
the general election in November.
After you have torn out your
ticket and marked it you fold it up
by itself and also fold the blank bal
lots by themselves, then pass out to
the inspectors. They place the bal
lot you have marked in one box and
the blanks ia another. All this is
very easy to do if the voters will
give it a little attention. Ii we
want to be sure of putting the men
in the office that we want we must
be very careful about marking our
ballots.
Now dor.'t think because you
don't fully understand this primary
voting that you are behind the
times. Remember this primary
voting is new to all of us and we
must learn to vote the ticket as the
law provides. If you do not fully
understand it don't be bit back
ward about asking some one about
it.
If you take your time and read all
the names on the ticket and place
cross like this x in the little square
like this [xl behind every mans
name you wish to vote for you will
not make any mistake il marking
your ballot.
A Few Dont'S
DON'T hurry when you are mark
