Loth the constitutional amendment and county ballots will be on white paper, the township ballots on yellow paper and and state ballots on red paper. The county ballots will contain three more names than two years ago, occasioned by the three county councilman at large and one district councilman. The ticket begins with congressman and ends with district councilman. The county ballots will also be J wider than two years ago, accasioned by the prohibition nominee for Congress being added. Two years ago the Prohibition people had no local or district ticket in the field. This year they have only the congressman. The township ticket will also be quite long, by reason of a full township ticket, including road supervisors, advisory boards, etc., to be elected. It will require between 300 and 400 pounds of paper to print the local ballots.
