With his present system of management perfected, he claims he can put 75 men in any spot or corner of the state on three hours notice. He does not believe in a mounted patrol, but in sUbstations strategically situated, equipped with automobiles. His forces have taken $37,OOO worth of liquor during the past year. He said that great deal of the criminal acts in the state, were due to the negli- gence of the people in failing to report the crimes and especially urged people to take the numbers of automobiles which they thought were suspicious.

AS there are many voters. especially women, who will cast their first vote this year, it will be we'll for them to understand how to mark their ballots so that they will be counted. At almost every election a number of ballots are thrown out because they are not prop erIy marked. Every ballot must be marked with an in the circle above the party column if the voter wishes to vote a straight ticket. In case you wish to vote a straight ticket with the exception of one candidate place an x in the circle of your party column and an other X in the voting space at the left of the candidate you wish to vote for on the other column. In case you wish to vote for more. than one candidate in the other column it is best not to mark an X in the cir cle at the top but place an x in the voting space at the left of each candi- date you wish to vote for. Be careful and not vote for two candidates for the same office and do not cross out any name or place any marks on the bal lots except the x as directed above Fold your ballots the same way it is given you before handing it to the bal lot box tender. Sample ballots may be obtained at the town clerks office with full directions on them. When you enter the room to vote go first to the booth near the door where you will be given your ballot. Then you must enter one of the closed booths at the left where you will find a pencil 10 mark your ballot. After marking the same proceed to the ballot boxes in the rear of the room and hand your ballot properly folded to the ballot box tender as soon as your name has been called by the checker at the left Of the ballot box tender.

fused to remove on order from the
