He enters the polling place. The
Judges of election hand him two bal.
lots, fastened together. One of these
ballots contains the list of candidates
seeking nomination before the Demo-
Gratis of the state-the other is Re
publican ballot containing the names
OF those nominated by the assembly
and by petition, seeking nomination at
the hands of the Republicans OF the
state.
The voter Is handed two ballots SO
that he may preserve the secrecy OF
his ballot. No one is supposed to
know which one he votes-but he can
use only one Of them.
The voter enters the booth. II he is
affiliated with the Republican party
he takes the Republican ballot, votes
for the ones he desires to nominate.
folds up both ballots and walks out OF
the booth.
He then hands the ballot he has
marked-the Republican ballot-to
one of the judges of election and 1t is
placed in box for marked ballots.
The other ballot-the Democratic bal
lot given him, which he did not mark
is placed in a receptacle for blank
ballots
The purpose Of this is to avoid the
voters asking either for Democratic
or Republican ballot, thereby max
ing public his preference and nullify-
ing the intent OF the law. which is to
preserve the secrecy Of the ballot.
The law as construed by able law
yers gives the word party affiliation"
a wide range. II you have usually
voted Republican ticket, or been re-
garded as Republican in the vicinity
in which you live. you have been "affil-
lated" with the Republican party.
The fact that you have scratched the
Republican ticket in the past does not
mean that you are not affiliated with
Franklin's paper the statesman., 1912-08-24

Although the word Republican" is
used in this for purposes of illustration
the same application can be made to
voters affiliated" with the Democratic
organization.
If you are affiliated with the Repub'
lican party you can vote the Republi'
can ticket in the primaries.
Your vote in the primaries does not
necessarily mean that you will cast
your ballot for every Republican on
the ticket at the election. You can
scratch your ticket on election day in
November and vote as you please
just as you have always done-and 1t
will have nothing to do with your vote
at the primary in September.
The matter of presidential electors
occupies no part or place in the pri.
mary to be held over the state on
Tuesday, September 10th. The names
of neither Democratic nor Republican
presidential electors-or those of any
party-will be voted for or occupy a
place on the primary ballot on Sep
tember 10th-electors will appear only
on the November election ballot.
Thus, to make it plain, the matter
OF presidential electors has nothing &c
do with the primaries in September
and the primaries have nothing to dc
with the electoral question or eiecto
raj candidates.
This much is positively settled by
the new primary law.
Let US employ an illustration to
make plain the proceeding for every
voter who goes to the primaries to vote
on Tuesday. September 10th.
