NO CIRCLE AT
TOP OF TICKET
Must Place Cross in Circle at Left
of Candidate for Whom
You Wish to VO|e

Pierre, S. D.-The circle at the
head of the ballot having been abol-
ished by law, the voters Of South
Dakota are for the first time called
upon a place a cross in the circle
beside the name of every candidate
for whom they wish to vote. 1t is
not expected that much confusion
will result from the elimination of
the party circle.
Under the old law the use of the
circle was optional, being only for
those who wished to vote a straight
party ticket. To make sure of cast
ing a legal ballot a large proportion
of the voters in former elections
have voted by making a mark be-
fore the name of each candidate of
their choice. and have let the party
circle severely alone.
1t is not beIieyed therefore that
the circle will be greatly missed,
although the man who has always
voted a straight party ticket will
find that it will take him a little
longer to mark his ballot.
