HOW TO VOTE

There are a great many first Voters this year and a few instructions about marking ballots are appropriate There will be five ballots presented to each voter. The state ballot. The county ballot. The township ballot. The constitutional convention ballot. ■ The centennial eeWbnatton ballot. In the three ballots first named the democratic ticket appears as the first column, the republican ticket as the second column, the progressive ticket as the third column, etc. To vote a straight party ticket, make a cross within the circle containing the design of the party «.t the head of the ticket. Then do not mark it at any other place. If you write on it or mark it in any .manner except by the means of the crass you will spoil it. Some think that to mark the first square at the head of the Column means to vote for all the candidates but this is not the case. A anark of that kind votes for the name at the side of the square only. If you want to vote a mixed ticket do not mark in the circlet but make the cross in the square at the left side of each candidate you wish to vote for. If ycu vote for two candidates for the same office your ballot will be wasted. For instance, if you are a democrat, and want to vote for Judge Hanley, you make a cross in the square at the left of hits name and then in each square ait the side of all other candidates on the democratic ticket, unless there are other republicans you wish to vote for. fit you spoil your ballot, cal) the .fact to the attention of the election inspector.
