dates and write in the name or names
of the candidates running in opposi-
ton to the candidate r candidates
whose names are scratched. But when
this is done a ross mark (thus X)
must be made in each square on the
ticket Immediately preceding the name
of each candidate on the ticket includ-
ing the name or names of those can
didates written in the ticket with PEN
Gil or pen and ink. If this is done
such scratched ticket will be good and
each candidate on such ticket will re-
ceive one vote in the count at the
close of the balloting.
1t will also be seen that if the name
of any candidate or candidates on any
ticket is scratched and the name Of an
other or other candidates written
therein with pencil or pen and ink and
the ticket thus formed, marked with a
cross mark in the big circle at the
top of the ballot and a cross mark in
the square preceding the name of each
candidate on the ballot, this would pc
a good ticket and each candidate
whose name appeared on the scratch
ed ticket would be entitled in the count
to n vote.
But if a ticket should be- voted with
q cross mark in the large circle at the
top OF ballot and q cross IN the square
before the anne of only a part of the
candidates on the ticket such ballot
would be thrown cut and not counted.
for the reason that the pOIl-hOldeTS
couldn't know whether the voter voting
such ballot intended to vote the
4---:---L 4:17-ol - --l,Ol0 4.o7~OG -. ~ n
up. or whether he intended to vote
only for the men III front of whose
names he had made q cross mark.
It VIII take FIVE pieces Of paper to
make up a whole electoral, State, Con
g~ress.9nal, County and Township TEX
ct Of either the Republican OF Demo-
cratic party N the coming election.
And all voters who desire TO vote the
straight ticket of their party will only
have to make q cross mark OhuS ~
in, the large circle OF the top Of each
ballot in order to do so. The congress
siOnal tickets, however, will not have
the circle on them as there is only n
name on these tickets, namely that of
the: congressional candidate. But these
congressional ballots will each have
a square Immediately before the can
didate's name, and in this square every
voter who votes for a candidate for
congress will have to make a cross
mark. For instance every voter who
desires to vote for Mr.. Britt will have
to make a cross mark (thus' X in the
square onxthe-ballet Immediately pre-
ceding his name. Those who desire
to vote for Mr.. weaver will have to do
the same thing. If a voter should vote
a congressional ticket without making
a cross mark in the little square Cd
same the ticket could not be counted
and would be thrown out by the poll
holders. DON'T FORGET THIS. LET
EVERY VOTER WHO VOTES FOR A
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS IN
THE APPROACHING ELECTION SEE
THAT A CROSS MARK IS MADE IN
THE SQUARE IN THE BALLOT BE-
FORE SAME IS HANDED TO THE
ELECTION OFFICIALS OR PUT IN
THE BOX.
The of voting in the COM
ing election will be very much the
same as it was in the primaries No
difficulty should be experienced by any
voter in preparing his ballot and vot-
ing in the November election.
The law makes it the duty of the
poll holders at each voting place to
prepare a table or desk and a booth
near where the election officers are
holding the election, where the voter
can go and prepare his ticket free from
the molestation Of party workers or
others who may be present on the
