ELECTION BOARD URGES
EARLY VOTING TUESDAY
Two Contests On
County Ticket;
Polls Open $50

Vote as early as possible in
the election Tuesday, November 7,
the Madison County Board of
Elections urged today.
Two reasons for early voting
were offered.
The new office type ballot will
be used for the first time in Tues
days election. Every candidate for
whom the voter desires to vote
must be given an "X'' mark be-
fore his name. More time may be
required by the officials Of the
county's 36 precincts to complete
their tabulation of the vote. More
time will also be required for each
voter to mark his ballot.
Expect Big Vote
Another reason for early vot-
ing is the fact that Ohio this year
anticipates one of the heaviest
votes in history. Madison County
will probably be no exception to
the anticipated trend throughout
the state, local political observers
predict.
According to the board, the
more voters who 60 to the polls
early Tuesday morning. the bet
ter the situation will be for MANY
who, for various reasons, will be
unable to get to the polls early.
therefore they will be obligated
to do their voting late in the
afternoon or shortly before the
polls are to be closed.
The hours for voting will he
the customary $50 a. m. to $50
p. m.
The bond issues and nine tax
IeYies will be submitted to voters
IN the var-Jus districts of Mad
lson County tuesday. Some of the
tax levies, like London's 3-nailI
levy, are renewals of existing
measures.
The Mt Sterling school dis
trict will vote on a 800. 900 bond
issue for enlarging the school
building and constructing an ad-
dition.
jefferson Township will vote
on a $4,000 bond issue for fire
protection equipment and main
tainence.

county offices are on the ticket

Detectives Nab
Track-WaIker

Railroad detectives picked up
a man walking the tracks between
South Charleston and South Solon
on the d. T. & T. railroad We'd
nesday evening and lodged him
in the Clark County Jail.
South Charleston police were
notified Tuesday night that some
one was tampering with the
switches on the D. T. & I. They
had been notified previously from
the Florence Switch community,
west of London, that a man had
been acting suspiciously near
there, but the officers were un-
able to locate the man.
When he was taken to the
Clark county Jail, the mans an
swers led officers to believe that
he was a mental case. 1t was
thought by questioning officers
that the man caught, whose name
was not given, might have been
responsible for a recent train
wreck in the northern part of the
state.

cannot get it to you personally
he must make arrangements to
