in Holland. He had emigrated to
America at the age of fourteen and
when he left Harvard, in 1915, a youth
of twenty-one, he became an itinerant
preacher in the West Indies. Shortly
afterward he returned to England and
became chaplain in Colonel Okey's
regiment. AS faithful Puritan, who
later in life assured Charles II that he
saw the error of his ways due to the
principles imbibed during his stay in
New England, he shortly afterward en-
rolled under Cromwell as scout mas

lease on the building lapsed to the

The foregoing blank will be furn-
ished by County Auditors upon re-
quest but if an absent voter has no
blank upon which to make his appli-
cation, he may use the above form for
the purpose of obtaining his ballot.
This application must be duly
! signed and sworn to by the elector
applying for the ballot before an of.
ficiaI authorized to administer oaths.
The voter should arrange to get
his ballot as early as possible so as
to return it to his County Auditor at
least one day before the election. 1t
should be returned earlier if posi-.
BILE so as to avoid the chance of los
ing the ballot through delay in the
mails.
The voter marks his ballot and re-
turns it to the Auditor by registered
letter in an envelope enclosed for
that purpose. On the back of the en-
velope he will find statement which
he is to fill in and sign.
In applying for a ballot by mail
the voter should be careful to give
the County Auditor his correct post
office address so that his ballot will
reach him promptly and safely.
In lieu of the above the following |
method may be used where practical
ble
Any voter knowing that he is to |
be absent on the day of election may
at any time not more than fifteen
days before the election call at the |
office of the County Auditor for his
county and obtain ballot, voting it
at the said office, sealing it and de-
posting 1t with that officer, before
leaving his home. This plan obviates
the necessity of using the mail in
sending the official ballot to the vot,
er and having it returned by him.
The law provides that ballots vot-
ed by absent electors must be deliv-
cred by the County Auditor to the
election judges of the precinct in
which the voters is registered. On
the day of the election these judges
open the ballot and count it as a
ballot voted at the said precinct, up.
on ascertaining that the voter is
duly registered, just the same as if
the voter were there in person.
