hooves every elector who expects to

the June primary. to examine a
sample ballot and to experiment with
the voting machine. This will be the
frst election with the machines in
which any considerable number of
candidates have appeared on the
ticket. 80.
The voting machines are quite
simple in their operation and are
practically fool proof, but there are
few details one must remember in
order to be sure he Is voting for the
candidates he wants to vote for.
How 70 Operate Machine.
First-On entering the machine
booth. the voter will see large lever
at the upper part of the machine and
to his left. Pull this lever to the
right as far as 1t viii 20. You can't
vote until you do.
Second--Above the name Of each
candidate on the ticket on the ma
chine is a small lever. In the sub
divisions of the ticket running up
and down are the names Of ell the
candidates for that office. Instruc-
lions above each column tell the
voter how many to vote for. He
votes by merely pulling down the
small lever that Is in the space
where the candidates name is
printed for whom he wants to vote.
The voter should pass along the
ticket from left to right voting In
the manner described for those he
has selected.

being sure he has not made q mis-
take, the voter then should reach
up and pull the large lever back from
tho right to the left to its original
position. Until he has done this his
votes are not registered, and he can
change his vote, II he has made q
mistake by pulling down another
small lever and pushing up the one
he pulled down in error. All the
little levers stay down where he
pulled them until the big lever is
thrown from right to left. Then
they all fly back in their original
position.
