For State Department

| Cyrus L. Woods was to-day given
an official opinion by the Attorney
Generals Department as to the man
ner in which votes marked in party
| square and also for a candidate

to be counted. The decision was
written by First Deputy Attorney
General Robert S. Gawthrop, and
says: when a voter makes a cross
mark (X) in a party square in the
straight party column on the ballot
and also makes Il cross mark (A)
! opposite the name of one candidate
of the same party for an office where
two are to be elected, the cross mark
| (N) in the party square operates to
cast vote for every candidate of
the party in whose party column 1t
was placed except the candidates for
the office for which the voter mark
ed individually. AS to that office,
only the candidate whose name was
| followed by the cross-mark (N) re-
ceives a vote
