UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD YOU SIGN YOUR
BALLOT ON NOVEMBER 7

The Independent is informed that
in many places in the state Townley-
ties are telling Independent women
that they must sign their ballots on
election day, and that they cannot vote
in more than one column. No one
must sign his or her ballot, otherwise
it will be thrown out. Reports OF
this kind are apt to keep many from
voting. Under no circumstances
shall you sign your name to any bal
lot. In this issue of the Independent,
appears a page advertisement which
is fairly good imitation of the bal
lot that will be given to you on Non
2. You will be given one ballot con-
tanning the names of the presidential
electors, the state candidates and the
two newspapers which are candidates
for the official county paper The
names Of the newspapers are found
at the bottom Of the republican col
umn. To those who have not before
voted, the Independent wants to say
that the matter is quite simple. All
you will need to do is to place cross
in the square to the right of the car
didate for whom you wish to vote.
If that candidates name happens to
be in the republican column, as for
example, Thos. Hall or John Steen,
place a square opposite their names
If you wish to vote for O'Connor fo1
governor, you will place cross in
the square opposite his name, and so
on. You can vote in as many col
umns as you desire.
The Independent is also Informed
that canvassers are peddling an ex-
act imitation Of the official ballot,
marked and ready to deposit in the
ballot box on election day. If this
is true, then it will be necessary foy
election officials everywhere to be on
their guard to prevent the use Of ba)-
lots that do not have the Inspector
initials and stamp on the proper place
and put on in the presence Of election
judges.
Each voter will be given severa
different ballots. One of them con-
tains the names Of the candidates for.
the various county offices. These
names appear under the heading
"Nonpartisan Ballot. This does not
mean that all of these candidates have.
the endorsement of the Nonpartisan
League but the word "Nonpartisan is
here used as meaning mon political
