One misapprehension regarding the

idea that voter can 60 into the booth
and "split bis ticket" among the parties.

not IN election Of officers, IL Is q nomina-
ton Of party candidates.
All parties name their candidates at
the same time In the primary election,
but each voter receives ballot Of his
own party, whatever party that may be,
and only for the candidates of that party
can his vote be counted.
For instance, suppose there are three
candidates, Messrs. White, Black and
Green, for the Republican nomination
for some Office. A voter of the Pro-
gressive party takes his ballot into the
booth, and marks 1t for such candidates
~ he desires who have their names
printed there. Then, there being no
names printed on the ballot for the
nomination for which Messrs. White,
Black and Green are contending, the
voter, being friendly to Mr.. White,
writes in his name in the blank under the
title Of the Office.
Now that vote 10 one vote for Mr..
White for the Progressive nomination

enty-five miles long and thirty miles
wide before it was finally checked in

SUFFERING IN FIRES WAKE,
5000 Had Difficulty Finding Sleeping
Quarters Last Night

Paris. March 23.-Work of reIiev-
ing the sufferers and the homeless in
Paris. after the disastrous fire of
Tuesday night was carried along
swiftly early today. Large sums of
money, raised in Paris and in cities
nearby came in overhead to the re-
lief committee headed by Mayor E. H
McCuistion, and were distributed
through the medium of a temporary
bank in the Chamber of Commerce
to the needy.
The 5000 homeless spent last night
in the homes of friends and relatives
on lawns and in such public build
ings as remained. Railroad waiting
rooms were turned into dormitories
for the women and younger children
The greatest task that faced the or
ganized workers today was clearing
clearing the business district of the
debris which consisted principally of
fallen brick walls. OF the five banks
in Paris, three of their structures were
totally destroyed one badly dam
aged and the other untouched. Of
ficers of the three banks expected to
make attempts at opening their
vaults today and believed they would
fir the contents unharmed.
The death list remained at three
with one person missing. 1t is feared
that Mrs. A c. Poul. the missing wom-
an, has perished, although search had
thus far failed to reveal her remains.
