The Democrat publishes the county ballot in another part of this paper that its readers may know who all the candidates are and decide , for themselves who they want to vote for before going to the polls. Remember, if you want to vote a straight ticket, make a crosd with the blue pencil in the large circle at the head of the ticket you wish to vote; if you want to vote a mixed ticket do not make any mark in the large circle but make a cross in the small square at the left of each candidate’s name for whom you wish to vote.
