VOTERS WARNED TO BE
CAREFUL In MARKING
ELECTION BALLOTS

A warning has been issued to Doug
las voters against the common practice
of voting cross at the top of the bal
lot to signify a vote for the straight
party ticket and then voting for candi-
dates of the other party farther down
the ballot. While this does not neces-
sarily void the ballot, it does void the
vote for the candidate voted for in this
manner, since the cross at the top of
the ballot automatically votes for each
candidate OF that party in the list.
While both parties are urging the
people to vote straight party tickets,
with the exception of the judiciary Of
fices, which are across the top of the
ballot, they advise voters to vote for
candidates individually unless they
vote the entire ticket straight.

secret.
For weeks its windows had been
boarded up. but late at night auto
mobiles and taxicabs we're seen to
stop there in considerable num-
Der and fitting figures were OBJ
served entering and leaving.
Sheriff Matt Starwich sent a party
Of deputies to the place. The boards
were pried off the windows by Depu-
ties Frank Brewer, Joe Harrahan,
Joe Hill and Ed Hughes, and the light
that poured in revealed an deliberately
equipped and stocked bootleggery and
gambling joint.
The deputies found no one Mt the
home but are searching for H. Olson,
supposed manager. whose name was
found signed to charge account slips.
