. HOW TO VOTE _ All Voters Should Read Carefully ths Following Specific Instructions. Every voter who goes to the polls is interested in making his ballot effective. Instruction in voting, therefore, cannot be too thorough, Not only is this especially true as to first voters, who will have their first experience With the Australian ballot system, but it is true of all others because of the change, that have been made in the law since it was originally passed. At public meetings and privately voters should be given accurate information as to what is required in casting a ballot The following instructions, therefore, should bo stufiled, as they will be found of value: The device at the head of the Democratic ticket is a rooster. The device at the head of the Republican ticket is an eagle. The Democratic ticket is in the first column, the Republican ticket is in the second column, and so on. Below is a sample of the heading of the Democratic and Republican Eleo toral and State tickets, with the respective party devices, in the order in which they will appear on the ballot. The names of the fifteen Presidential Electors come first and are followed by the names of the candidates for state offices. A& 1 W. Jf/ DEMOCRATIC TICKET REPUBLICAN TICKET •| ■ For Presidential Elector- F” - ' For Presidential Electornvw at-Large, bb>. at-Large. _____ ADAM HEIMBERGER. ___ WINFIELD T. DURBIN. When you go into your voting place you will be handed three ballots: The State ballot —On red paper, containing the candidates to be voted on tor State offices, except for Senator and Representative. 1 The county ballot —Printed on white paper. The township ballot —Printed on yellow paper, containing the township Mndldates. If you want to vote a straight Democratic ticket, make a cross within the Circle containing the rooster at the head of the first column of the ballot. INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTERS: First. You must get your ballot and the blue pencil from the Polling Clerks in the election room. Second. It you desire to vote a straight ticket, then make a cross, thus, X, within the large circle at the head of the ticket containing the device of the party for whose candidates you desire to vote. If you do not desire to rote a straight ticket, you must not make a cross in the large circle containing the device of a party, but must make a cross, thus, X, on the small square to the left of the name of each candidate for whom you desire to vote, on whatever list of candidates it may be. It the large circle at the head of the ticket is marked with a cross or otherwise and the ballot is marked with a cross or otherwise at any other place, it will be void and cannot be counted, unless there be no candidate for some office in the list printed under such marked device, in which case you may indicate your choice for such office by making a cross, thus, X, on the square to the left of the name of any candidate for ■ueh office on any other list. The cross must be placed within or on the circle er square, or the ballot will be void and can not be counted. Third. Do not mutilate your ballots, nor mark them, either by scratching off a name or writing one upon them, nor in any other way put a mark upon them, except by placing one in the circle or on the squares, as above described. Otherwise the ballot will not be counted. You must not put any mark of any kind upon your ballot except in the manner above described. i Fourth, After you have marked your ballots, and before you leave the election booth, fold them up separately so that the face of each one can not be seen, and so the initial letters of the names of the Polling Clerks on the back thereof can be seen. Then hand your ballots to the Inspector, the pencil to the Polling Clerks, and immediately leave the election room. Fifth. If you are physically unable to mark your ballots, or can not read English, so Inform the Polling Clerks, and make an affidavit to that effect. They will then go with you into the election booth, and you can then tell them how you desire to vote, and they will mark your ballot for you. Neither you nor the Polling Clerks must permit any other person to hear or boo how your ballot is marked. It is a penal offense to declare you can not read English or can not mark your ballot, if, in fact, you can. [ln no case can the ballots be marked by the Polling Clerks if the voter can read the English language and is physically able to mark his ballot. Nor can they mark it until the voter has made the proper affidavit.] Sixth. If you should accidentally, or by mistake, deface, mutilate or spoil one of our ballots, return it to the Poll Clerks and get another one of the same kind. Seventh. You must not accept a ballot from any person outside of the election room. Any ballot outside is fraudulent; and it is a penitentiary offense to have it in your possession, whether you attempt to vote it or not. ’ Eighth. You must not attempt to hold any conversation In the election room except -ith members of the Election Board and the Polling Clerks. Ninth. Use otly the blue pencil handed you by the Polling Clerks In marking your ballots. If you mark with any other pencil, your ballot so marked will be void, and will not be counted. Tenth. You must not put any mark of any kind on your ballot, except as above described. VOTING BY MACHINE. If you are unable to vote by machine on account of physical disability or inability to read English, and make an affidavit to that effect, you will he Instructed or assisted by the Polling Clerks, as In the case of voting by ballot If you request it you will, upon being registered by the Polling Clerks, be instructed by them as to the manner of voting by machine. You cannot remain tn the voting machine booth more than one minute; and no person can be in or near the machine when a voter is in the voting machine booth unless it is the Polling Clerks while instructing or assisting the voter.
