1913, instead OF january, 1913. Nor did

gratefully received and heartily apprs-
ciated. Respectfully yours,

Tho New Ballot Law.

At the coming election we will have
for the first time what is known as the
Headless ballot, which will be new to
great many and means simply this. That
you cannot go into the voting booth and
write: II hereby vote straight Demo
cratic, Progressive Or Republican ticket"
as heretofore, thus voting for all of your
party candidates by the simple stroke Of
the pen. You will have to go down the
entire list and pick out the man for
whom you wish to vote by placing cross
in the square opposite his name.
This law was passed in recognition Of
the growing sentiment that it is better
to vote for the best man for office and
that party lines are no longer recognized
as necessary to good citizenship. Mark
your ballot as you think best for the
common good.
