going TO require a good deal Of
thought and memory on the part OF
Democrats and Republicans If they
don't get their candidates mixed mn
when It comes to marking the tickets.
In the first place the tickets will
contain the names of no less than
seventy-two electors. There are six
tickets for President and Vice Presi-
dent in Tennessee and each has
twelve electors. These will, accord
ing to the statute, be arranged in
groups, but there will be no signs or
marks to indicate to the illiterate
which is the Democratic or the Re-
publican list and unless the voter
marks a cross opposite all of the
twelve electors they will not cast a
full ballot for their nominees for
President and President,-that is
the vote will be counted only for the
electors marked. If voter should
mark thirteen or any number more
than twelve his ballot in SO far as
President is concerned will be null
and void.
In addition to the electors there will
be three candidates for Governor;
three for Railroad Commissioners,
two for Congress, two for the Sem
ate and two for Representatives on
the ballot and these will be arranged
in alphabetical order The order OF
of the ballots will be
changed, that is to say under the law
a part may be printed with the cleo!
oral ticket at the top, another begin
ling with the candidates for Repre-
;entatives and another beginning
With the candidates for Congress and
80 on down the line.
