Choice for e",erner
WILLIAM tiARRlGAN
Arrangement OF Candidates and
Delegates Named by Demo-
cratic Organizations. r

Here is a fac simile Of a Democratic
ballot, such as will be used in every
district of the county, so far as the
candidates for nomination to Assembly,
county register and county supervisor
are concerned. The names of aspirants
for municipal and ward nominations, as
well as the delegates to the State and
congressional conventions, will be diff
ferent in every one of the 229 election
districts in the county.
The ticket here reproduced Is for the
Eighth district of the Third ward, and
IL voted in n other district 1t would
be declared invalid. Voters should ex-
anime the reverse side of the ballot,
which describes the district for which
1t is issued, over the signature of the
local clerk in each of the twenty-five
municipalities in this county.
On the second column of this ballot,
opposite the name of n of the two
delegates, appears the preference of one
of the latter-"Choice for Governor,
William Harrigan."
Only one of the two delegates named
on the ballot can be elected. If neither
name is erased the ballot will not count
for either %aspirant.
If Sheriff Harrigan is the choice of
the voter he should erase the name at
the head of the ticket-John Lerch. On
the other hand. If the voter prefers a
delegate approved by the county or
g~anization. who stands ready to abide
the will of the majority. he will erase
the name of Samuel Holman.
Be Careful About Marks.

If he does not favor the Harrigan dele
gate, erase the name of William Har-
rigan. which appears in the second col
umn. Any mark made by other than
the official printer on the second col
umn will invalidate the entire ballot.
This applies. as described in the
STAR yesterday and this morning, to
the Republican as well as the
Democratic ballots in every district
where there is a contest for delegates
to either the state or congressional con-
ventions. On the latter there is no
contest on the Democratic side, as the
Harrigan Association Endorsed the
Regular Democratic candidates for
Congress.
On both the Democratic and Repub-
llcan ballots the Regular candidate for
delegate to the State convention APP
pears at the head of the ticket. On the
rest of the ticket, except where the
list of candidates or delegates are in
closed in a bracket, the names are
printed in alphabetical order.
How Names Appear.
AS a result, on the ticket here re-
produced, while the Regular Demo-
cratic candidate for State delegate
heads the list. the name of the Har-
rigan Association candidates appear
first for county register. supervisor,
Board of Works, City Home trustee and
member of the Eoard of F~reeholders. y
Where more thar one name appears
for any office or position as delegate
under the caption Vote for one" I'M
less all but one name are erased the
ballot will not count for any of the
candidates for that particular office.
AS an example, under the caption
Favored for United States Senator
(vote for one)" the names of James E.
MARITIME and Frank NJ. McDermit ap-
pear.
If neither name is erased the ballot
counts blank so far as that office is
concerned, Just as it would If the
names of both were erased, and the
action will not invalidate the ballot.
No erasure has been made on the
senatorial proposition on the ballots
issued through either h Regular or
Harrigan associations.
While a mark of any kind other n
a straight horizontal line drawn thus
------- through a name would,
according to the notice on the head
of the ticket, render a ballot void, a
voter may write with black pencil or
ink the name of a candidate he prefers
for delegate or nomination to any OF
the offices to be filled.
