or any other dangerous weapon

affecting the result of the election.
Five. No voter or election CAM
paigner shall vote or engage in the
campaign on promise of receiving
appointments. ...
Six. On the way to and from
election booths, the voters shall not
be accompanied by the candidates

for tips and hotel charges.
Seven. Voters shall not yield to
the temptation of considerations re-

long to enjoy it. Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
son, being in the prime of life, will
