there aver been a division of the cleo
toral votes in any state so each can
dictate had a part? Also, is it uncon-
stitutional to vote for part Of the
electors ION n ticket, and part on
another?
Please do not use my name as do
not want the public to know how ig-
norsnt | am, A READER.
Ironton, Mo-, September 18th.
II do not recall that there was ever
a division of the electoral vote of any
state. If you use, say, the Democratic
ticket, and desire to vote for a Re-
publican elector you may do so by
erasing the name of one of the Dem
ocratic electors and substituting the
name of the eleetor of your choice.
But you cannot use two or more tick
cts. Your voting must be done on
one ticket.-ED.
