How to Mark the Ballot
For a Straight Republican Vote

For the voter who wants to cast vote
for decency in this home government
and progress and efficiency in the state
government together with protection for
American Industries and an administration
at Washington which will command the
respect Of the world the safest thing to do
is to mark an X in the circle at the head
Of the Republican column the last one on
the ballot.
That is straight vote on the ticket. 1t is
the best thing for any clean minded and
patriotic West Virginian to do at the
election on Tuesday.
The ballot for or against the equal suffrage
amendment to the constitution is printed
at the bottom Of each Of the party columns.
The man who has voted a straight party
ticket and wants to vote for suffrage must
go to the end Of the column after he has
placed his cross in the circle and place a
similar cross mark in the first square under
the heading which reads Ballot on
Constitutional Amendment"
The ballot which will be handed to each
voter, somewhat ndensed as to length,
with the cross in the circle showing how
to properly vote straight Republican
ticket is shown on this page.
