ABSENTEE VOTERS
ASSURED SECRECY

The sanctity OF the voting booth
in the states will be strictly observed
at the booth placed in the republican
campaign headquarters at 1s42 G
street for the use of residents of
the District who have a ballot and
who arc to vote by mail in the cleo
ton of November Z. Arrangements
are now being completed by A. E.
Chafree. reading clerk Of the House
OF Representatives. and others in

quarters.
The voting booth at the local head
In the states. and the ,notaries public
and other employees have been
cautioned to regard it as such. In
q statement signed by Henry NJ.
Camp, chairman Of the voters cam
paign committees. the headquarters
workers are warned against having
any conversation whatsoever with
any absentee state voter. who may
call at headquarters with his ballot
relative to the persons for whom he
may or ought to vote.
Advice to Voters.
Advise each voter that he or she
must display his ballot or ballots to
the executing ofdcer unmarked" read
the instructions. The voter must
then mark the ballot In tho presence
of the notary public and for that
ell. In marking the ballot he must
do so in such a manner that the eX-
ecuting officer Is unable to see how
the ballot has been marked, the idea
being to protect the secrecy OF the
ballot.
AFTER marking tho ballot the vot-
er should fold It up and inclose it
in the envelope provided for that
purpose and securely seal the same,
after which the notary public will
execute his certificate.
THE whole idea is that the thing

at an actual voting booth on election
day.
''In such an event he or she would
receive the ballots from the clerks of
booth, where he or she would mark
instruction from any one and with
out any one seeing how he or she
voted All this the voter is expected
to do without assistance.
1.-The voter may obtain all the in
struction or assistance or advice that
he or she wants prior to his or her open
ing the ballot. But as soon as he or
she has opened the ballot. he or she
would then be treated as II he or she
were in an election booth. and care
should be taken that nothing is said
that would be construed into an at
tempt to influence his or her vote.
He or she. Of course. can be told how
fold the ballot and things Of that
kind, but not one word must be said
with reference to the name Of any
person who may be voted for"

unusual features of the grounds. and
are the most striking examples of
this species of tree in the United
States.
The attention of the visitors was di
rected to section OF the giant red
wood tree. which was on exhibition
