New-York tribune., 1914-11-01

for Governor.
In all groups other than the Governor group
there is only one voting space, no matter no"
many parties man may represent, and TINS space
is to the right of and not under the emblem.
A long blank space is left at the bottom of each
group. In this a voter may write the name OF any
man. if he does not care to vote for any Of the
lanes printed in the group. The voter must not
put cross mark in connection with such writ
ten name as the writing of the name votes for the
person. and the cross would be held to be an
additional mark and would invaidate the entire
ballot.
In order that the blank spaces on the ballot nos
intended for voting may not confuse the voter
or tcmpt him to invalidate his ballot by marking
in them they are filed in. In the group boxes
they are filled in with heavy black bars. The
extra space outside the group boxes is filled IN
with ornamental scroll work. All this additional
black printing gives the ballot heavy appear
ance and is likely to distract attention
On the ballots in the counties of New York and
The Bronx there are fifteen groups of candidates
except in that part Of New York County where the
election of Municipal Court justice, I'd District,
makes q sixteenth group. The groups in the order
in which they appear on the ballot, excluding the
Municipal Court group, are: Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, Secretary of State, Controller, treas
urer Attorney General, State Engineer and sur
vevor Associate Judge of the Court OF Appeals

tees OF the Supreme Court group. The names Oh

the order t.ere having been determined by lot
Six candidates for Governor appear IN that
group. They are Martin H. Glynn, with the Dem
oeratic and independence League emblems;
Charles S Whitman, with the Republican emblem;
Frederick NJ. Davenport, Progressive; Gustave A.
Strebel. Socialist; William Suzer, with the en-
blern of the Prohibition party and the Liberty Bell
emblem Of Sulzers own American party, and
James T. Hunter Social Labor. The latter party,
bavn, failed TO cast the requisite 10000 votes for
its candidate for Governor two years ago, lost
its place on the ballot, and is on this year
through :he medium of petition.
While SUzer named complete state ticket
for his American party, none Of the candidates
except himself, fled petitions, so the Liberty BeH
will appear only once in the groups for state
officers. Some OF the local candidates have the
American party Endorsement.
Because Of the limited space provided for en-
b!ems on the ballot, the Republican party deemed
it wise 20 simplify its emblem. 1t appears for
the first time at a regular election as a plain

eagle and with q sun and crossed quill pens
There is cne independent candidate for justice
Of the Supreme Court, Leon Sanders, whose name
appears with an emblem Of black square. On

Brooks, running for Member OF Assembly. with
