In most of the precincts the polls will be opened at the usual places. In Marianna the voters of the first ward will Will vote at the Commercial Club rooms; in the second ward at the City Hall; in the third ward in the ice Ice cream factory opposite Griffis- Newbern's store. In Walnut town ship the polls will be opened in the Whitehall store.
 At the bottom of the printed tick cts will be found spaces for writing the names of delegates to the county convention and member of the cen tral committee. Each township is entitled to one delegate to the coun- " convention and to one member Oi the county central committee. Democrats in each township are ask ca to get together and agree upon some one to send as delegate to the county convention and to elect a member of the central committee.
