An Insulting Question.

rs Connecticut for sale? This ques-
ton ought to be answered before Tues
day. Nov. S.'-Hartford Times.
That question has been answered
several tlInes-twice in the days or
Abraham Lincoln, on a number of oc
casions since the days of Grant, quite
emphatically two years ago.
Connecticut cannot be bought, sold
or traded off. If any man knows OF an
instance where effort has been made
to influence the acts of voters in con-
ventions or anywhere else in this cam
paign. his duty is plain-that duty is
to accuse openly, plainly, fearlessly.
The people of this state are getting
sick of yelled charges, innuendo. dec
larations which do not hesitate to ac-
cuse, but lack the courage to point
plainly TO those it is alleged deserve to
be accused.
There is no excuse for declaring the
tented. Such declarations are never
made except for the purpose of preju-
dicing the public mind, in the hope
that somebody's political ambitions
will be benefited.
Because one man or half a dozen
men are suspected of being thieves no
sane man thinks of asking. from q
public platform, in the press or any
where else the insulting question-Does
Connecticut believe in theft? That scrt
Of thing may happen in the Middletown
house for crazy people, but it doesn't
happen anywhere else, and the people
would not stand for it.
Let no guilty man escape. If thers
be a guilty man, point him out.
The people of this state want no
guilty man shielded, but they never
fail to resent being stabbed in the back.

The opinion given by Attorney Cen

The voter must first make a. cross

name of the party at the head of his
ticket. re he desires to vote a straight
ticket he will not make any other
mark upon it whatever; but IL he de-

one or more names upon the other
ticket. he will make a cross mark (X)
in the voting space on the left and be-
fore the name of the candidate on the
other ticket for whom he desires to

more persons are to be elected to fill

party ticket.
But an elector must keep in mind
that he is not to place cross before
a greater. number of names for any
office than the number appearing up
on his own ticket for that particular
office.
He must also keep IN mind that in
case he desires to vote a split ticket.
he must place the cross at the lett OF
each name voted for on both tickets
(Where two or more are named Tor the
same office ON one ticket.
ANY other mark than the cross mark
CD will render his ballot void
Other instructions.
The following Instructions may
throw light upon some of the ques-
lions that have arisen:
How to Vote a Straight Ticket
Place an X in the circle above the
column which you wish to vote. Black
lead pencil, only, may be used. Fold
up the ballot in the same way that you
received it.
How to Vote a Split Ticl1et-Place
an x in the circle above the column
Then place an \ in front of the name
of candidate whose name appears in
another column for whom you wish
to vote. This registers Your vote for
the candidate checked and is equiva-
lent to scratching the corresponding
name in your own party column.
Take the above ballot as an example.
You are q. republican and wish to vote
the entire republican ticket, with the
exception of the candidate for comp
troller, for which office you prefer the
candidate on the dem ocratic ticket.
Place an \ in the circle over the re-
publican column and place an x before
the name Of John M. Brady the dem
ocratic candidate for comptroller. Do
not try to scratch or mark out the
name of Thomas d. Bradstreet as that

the ballot. but wishes to vote for
Charles A. Goodwin, he should write
his name in the blank space where it
says governor and do nothing more.
Any other candidate he wishes to vote
for should be written in the same way.
Don'ts.
Following are few don'ts which the
voters will do we'll to regard:
Don't place an x at the left of any
name in a column when you have al
ready placed an x in the circle at the
top of the same column, except when
more than one candidate is to be chos-
en- for the same office Gas in the cas-
of representatives and justices of the
peace), and YOU wish to split your
ticket and vote for one or more of such
candidates and not for others. You
must then place an X in the square at
the left OF each name or names of such
candidates for whom you wish to- vote,
whether in your own party column or
some other column. In such case only
the names thus marked with the x
will be counted.
Don't make any mark on ballot ex-
cept an X in the circle or an x before
other names as above directed.
Don't retrace or line over any por-
ton of the X.
Don't allow any portion of the X to
cross the lines of the circle.
Don't under any circumstances draw
any lines through any name.
Don't use pen or any coIored or in
delible lead pencil.
Don't in case you accidentally mayIi
your ballet improperly, or make mis-
take, try to correct it or fix it up, but
surrender it to the moderator in charge
and get a new ballot.
Don't in case you are in doubt hest
tate to ask the moderator or any party
leader or candidate for advice
Don't forget to mark your ballot
Norwich bulletin. [volume] (Norwich, Conn.) 1895-2011, 1910-11-04

would invalidate your ballot and is I'M
necessary. You have already scratch
ed his name by placing the x in front
of John NJ Brady, his opponent.
The case may arise In voting a split
ticket whereby you wish TO eli1nlaate
some candidate from a vote: that is,
you 10 not wish to vote for him. If
there is no opponent for whom you
wish to vote, write in the blank col
uinn some name in the space opposite
the name you wish to eliminate. This
will accomplish your purpose. Any
name probably would be permitted in
the blank column, but is might be
well to use the actual name of vot-
er in the town, rather than a fictitious
name
Although the instructions on the
ballot say something about not using
a name in the blank column which is
printed on the ticket, a liberal con-
struction, it would seem, would allow
the use of a name of a man even If 1t
is on the ballot, if it is written in the
blank column at g. place not cores
bonding to the place where it appears
printed.

How to Vote for Representatives.

How to Vote for Representatives.
1t may be that you wish to vote for
representatives on two tickets. Be
careful to indicate in such case each
man that you vote for. The reason is
that you must not vote for more than
two representatives on the ticket.
For example: You may be a profli-
bition voter and want to vote for the
two republican candidates for repre-
sentative In that case you place an
x before the names of Henry w. lib
bits and Albert J. Bailey, and placing
an x in the circle of the prohibition
party. In case YOU want to vote for
Robert McNeely and Henry w. lib
bits, YOU place an x before both names.
You are entitled to vote for two rep
resentatives, and if You split your
ticket an X must go before both names

Voting for a Few Names Only.

Many have asked how a voter should
mark his ballot if he desired to vote
for only one or two names on the en-
tire ticket.
In regard to this, Attorney General
Light says that the names OF those
whom the voter wishes to cast his bal
lot for can be written in The blank
column. but no mark should be placed
in the circle at the head of any other
ticket. FOR instance, if an eector does

one, only that one will be counted.

How to Vote for Justices Of the Peace.

How to Vote for Justices Of the Peace
Each party names II candidates for
justices or has that privilege, so that it
is necessary to vote for IT in order to
have any of them count. The only
trouble, as before, will come by an
attempt to split the ticket If you are
a republican and desire to vote for
Franklin H. Brown for justice, place
the X in the republican circle and the
x before Franklin H. Browns name.
You must place an x before Is Justices
on the republican ticket You can split
your vote for justices so as to take in
all four tickets but in doing SO IT
names must be checked. The reason for
this is that if republican should place
an X before a democrats name the
counters have no way of telling what
other Is justices he wishes to vote for,
as there is no indication that it is nee
essarily the name opposite which he
wishes to scratch

Nahuco a Versatile Genius.

Ambassador NubucO of Brazil is one
of the most accomplished diplomats in
Washington. 1t was said by Director
John Barrett of the pan American bu-
reau that he could write a treatise on
international law in English with his
right hand and a French poem with
the other which would deceive the
critics into thinking it was the work
of some renowned poet.
He was brought up in the days Of
the Brazilian empire in a cultured
home full of the most refined assOcia-
tionS, and he says that the young men
of his country of that day spent their
time among books. while now the
young men of the same age take trips
to the United States and England to
complete their education along busi-
ness lines. The ambassador has had
the benefit of both systems. and he
works at his desk standing. present
ing an unusual appearance from his
six feet in height and military car
riage. He was an ardent supporter Of
the great emperor and one of the last
to be reconciled to his being driven
from the throne.

BILE of the well-to-do, but the
common food is better for all of
us, and thanks to Providence that
is plentiful and not very dear.
The cold storage business just
now is severely condemned, and
perhaps justly, for the system is
abused for greed. And yet the
storage of eggs, fruit and meat
when such articles are plentiful
tend to equalize the supply for
the whole year. The system is
all right, the abuse of it by mid
dle-men greedy for filthy lucre is
the bane of it.
In the fall of the year our bet
ter-half stores eggs for the win
ter supply, and we do not have
to buy eggs when forty cents a.
dozen. Is it not prudence to do
so? 1t is just as wise to put eggs
in cold storage if they are sold in
time and at reasonable profit.
The science of living is not
learned when the good things of
life abound. It takes a touch of
poverty to teach us that. In time
the American will learn the
Frenchman's food economics,
and we shall be none the worse
for it.
