COLORS OF ELECTION
BALLOTS REVERSED
Care Should Be Exercised by
Voters When They Go to
the Polls.

Everything is In readiness for the
holding Of the city primaries next
Tuesday. Voting booths are in
place in the various precincts. and
after being sworn by City Clerk
DeLorenzi, the election officials
were given their supplies yester-
day following the counting OF the
ballots and checking the supplies
by the election commissioners. Can
didates were scurrying about lining
up their henchmen and button
holing every friend whose support
at the polls they could muster.
b While the activity, of course, is not
so keen as that always preceding n
general election, il appears greater
than usual at a primary election.
A noticeable feature OF this cleo
tion I'm Mishawaka is the difference
in color OF the ballots to be used
from what they were at the last
election, and all voters, especially
foreigners, who are none too IA
miIiar with the English language,
are cautioned 10 make no mistake
when the ballot is handed 70 them
before entering the voting booth. At
the last general election the demo-
cratic ballots were printed on white
paper. while for next Tuesdays
election the republican ballots are
white and the democratic tickets
are saImon-cOlOred. The law
doesn't require that election ballots
shall be printed on a certain colored
PAPER. and when the ones TO be
used Tuesday were ordered from
the printer by the election COM
nissioners the latter simply stated
that they wanted them in two col
ors. not specifying any color for
either OF the two tickets.
Frank p. Christoph, democratic
candidate for the mayoralty nom
nation. stated yesterday that nu-
,nerous states" mostly on salmon
colored ballots, were being distrib-
uted about the city and more are

designated by party workers and
others as "Christoph states" but he

nothing whatsoever to do with the
