Every elector Is given an option
OF three ways OF voting. lie NAV
stamp IN the circle under the party
emblem. a ballot so stamped could
be counted as a vote for every can
didate whose name appears under
the emblem.
"The voter may disregard the cir
Gle under the party emblems and
stamp in the squares before the
names OF the individual candidates
for whom he desires TO vote.
THE voter may mix these two
methods. He can stamp in the cir.
Gle under one party emblem and
then stamp in the square before the
names OF the Individual candidates
appearing in other columns. A ball
lot SO voted should be counted for
all OF the candidates OF the party
nlder whose emblem the voter has
Stamped, except the candidates In
front OF whose names ne has specif-

when there are group candidates.
Tulsa county will elect five rep
reSentatves TO the legislature and
they will be elected at large, so IL

another column, he destroys his vote
for all the candidates for that Of

ed as indicated below counts only
FOR John Brown. for the reason tha,
there is no way TO determine for
which OF the candidates In the first
column the vote should be counted:
ROOSTER

For Representative:

} John Doe.
} Richard Roe.
} Tom Jones.
} Bill Jones.
{ Sam Jones.
EAGLE
(x) John Brown.
} James Black.
} Tom Black,
} Bin Black.
} Sam Black.
tThe above names are used and
arranged merely for purposes OF IL
lusiration, they not being the cam
didates.)
John Doe is not running against
John Brown, nor Richard Roe
against James Black. You can vote
for Doe or Brown or any OF the
10 candidates by stamping in front
o! their names. Voters. therefore,
who desire to avail themselves of
this third option. TO mix their ticket.
should stamp in the square before
the names OF the individual, candi.
dates for whom they desire to vote.
Since there are group candidates
running for district Judge. a similar
rule would apply. and IL voter
desires TO avail himself OF his third
