United States and the represent
tatiye in the United States Con-
gress from the Seventh district
| of Virginia.
In the second box the judges
will deposit the ballots cast for
and against the proposed amend
ment to section 129 and section
100 of the constitution of Vir-
GINA, the first (119) being that
section in reference to the cleo
ton of commissioners of the
revenue of cities succeeding

(12O) being a section in reference
TO treasurers of cities succeeding

In the third box the Judges of

article 8 of the constitution of
Virginia in reference to the
powers of the general assembly
concerning the forms of organi-

lation.
HOW TO MARK Tickets,
In view of the fact that the
voters Of the cities and counties
will be presented with three
tickets by the judges of election,
and as all voters naturally desire
their ballots to be correct, they
should not go about the matter
hastily, but should take sufficient
time to mark their ballots care
fully, and if in doubt they should
call upon the judges of election
for assistance.
In voting the presidential tic
ket, the voter must draw his pen
| ell entirely through the names of
all candidates for President and
Vice-President for whom he does
not wish to>vote, leaving I'M
touched the names of the candi-
dates for President and Vice
President on that part of the
ticket for whom he desires 70
cast his ballot. If he desires to
vote the Democratic ticket, he
must draw his pencil plainly
through the names of all othe r
candidates for President and
Vice-President.
1t is very important for the vo-
ter not to scratch out the name
of any elector, even if the
electors name appears on that
part of the ticket for which he
desires to vote against. To
scratch out the name of any
elector on the entire ticket will
render the ballot void and of no
value whatever.
The names of candidates for
Congress from the Seventh dis
trict of Virginia will appear on
the same ticket. If the voter
desires to cast his ballot for the
Democratic nominee, James Hay.
he must draw his pencil plainly
Through the names of other cam
didates for Congress, leaving the
name of Mr.. Hay untouched.
SHOULD he desire to vote for the
Republican candidate or the So
|cialist candidate, the voter should
follow the same rule.
lkiRKING THE OTHER TICKETS.
If the voter desires to vote in
favor of commissioners of the
revenue of the cities being en-
titled to reelection, he should
draw his pencil through each of
the lines on the ballot which
Says: Against amendment to
section 119 of the constitution in
reference to the election of COM
missioners in Cities" etc. Should
he desire to vote against such re-
Iolection, the voter should draw
his pencil through the sentence
beginning For amendment to
section 49," etc.
The same rule should be fol-
lowed in voting for or against city
trea surers being permitted to
succeed themselves in Office, and
should also be followed in vot-
ing for or against the proposed
constitutional amendment in
reference to new forms of gov
eminent for cities and towns and
their classification according to
population.
