THE voter is to vote only for one.
But because the voter has votet
for either the Republican or Dem
~ocratic presidential electors it doe

in the same party column for tn,
congressman. One may vote for an,
candidate for congress one wants t.
no matter on what part of the baIlot
the name is TO be found, only car,
must be taken to vote for but one
Having voted for the Republican OF
democratic presidential electors the
voter may so over into the last
column on the ticket if he does not
want to vote for either of the can
didates for congress on the Republi-
can or Democratic ticket and find
there another candidate for congress.
He is running on the Socialist ticket,
none of the other minor parties hav-
ing nominated a candidate for con-
gress. Or, having voted for the
Democratic candidates for presiden-
tial electors, the voter, IL so inclined.
may go over into the Republican
column to vote for the Republican
candidate for congress. But IL he
does so, he cannot vote for a con-
gresham in the Democratic column
also. 1t is permissible to vote for
but n congressman. but he can be
picked from any column regardless
of which column the voter voted in
for presidential electors.
Going on down the column, one
finds the mex Office that of sheriff.
Here again n may vote in any
column one desires regardless of
what column one voted In for the
other candidates. Besides the cam
|didates for sheriff in the Republican
and Democratic columns, there are
two candidates for sheriff to be
found in the last column on the bal
lot. These are candidates Of the
Socialist and Prohibition parties re-
.s~pectively. Vote for any of these
you please regardless of what party
you have voted for for other Offices,
but be sure to vote for only one.
After the sheriff come the coro-
ners. Here the instructions are to
vote for two. 1t is permissible to
vote for IN in the Republican col
umn and one in the Democratic col
umn IL so desired.
After the are the candi-
dates for freebooter. There are three
nominated by each party for the
regular term of three years and the
voter is to vote for three, but all
three need not be of the same party.
1t Is possible to vote for one free
holder candidate OF one party and
two of another. it makes no differ
ence, as long as the voter puts but
three KS opposite names upder the
heading Members of the Board of
Chosen Freeholders (for three
years.)"
Immediately under the candidates
for freebooter for three years there
is one candidate for freeholder whose
name is printed all by itself. This
is to fill put an unexpired term in
the Board of Freeholders. Here the
voter votes for but one and it can be
in either the Republican or Dem
ocratic column. according to which
candidate the voter prefers.
Next en- the ballots are the can
didates for the city Offices: mayor,
and alderman. The fact
that an alderman is being elected in
only three wards. however. leaves no
candidate for hat Office In the other
three wards where there was an
alderman elected last year.
At the bottom Of the ballot, as al
ready pointed out, r two ques-
tons. One regarding the issuing of
bonds for building the tunnel and
bridge and the other regarding the
soldiers bonus. If you are in favor
of them put an TX" in the square
before the word Yes" If you are
opposed put an IN" in the square be-
fore the word NO" 1t is important
that every voter express himself on
these questions. They involve bond
ing the, state with a big debt and the
people must approve before it can
be done.
In the third column on the ballot
under the heading Personal
Choice" is a column filled with blank
lines. This column is for the pur-
pose of anyone desiring to vote for
a person who may not have been
nominated by any of the parties. The
mere nomination of a candidate does
not limit the voter to those partic-
ular names One may vote for his
next door n%eighbor for congress if
he wants to. He will simply write
the name of the person he desires TO
vote for on the blank line under the
