Sample Ballot For Town Board Election Nov. 7th

Citizens Ticket “—“I For Town Trustee First Ward WM. F. ROSNER Second Ward ARTHUR V. BEELER — “1 For Town Trustee Third Ward JOHN S. LEONARD For Town Clerk-Treasurer J. WAYNE BAXTER

The above is an exact facsimile of the official ballot of the Town election which is to be held at Kepler’s Speedway Garage, 1430 Main Street, Speedway, on Tuesday, November 7th. We have been asked to print this sample ballot in order that everyone might know exactly what a ballot will look like before they go to the polls. It will be noticed thajLjfeere are two tickets; the one on the left marked with a star‘ is The “Citizens’ 'Ticket” the '"one' ;o the right, marked with a triangle, is the “People’s Ticket.” There are two ways in which citizens may vote for candidates, i. e., the straight ticket, or the scratched ticket. The election rules state: “To vote a straight ticket make an x within one circle and not elsewhere.” If, however, the voter desires to scratch his ticket, i. e., if he desires to vote for candidates from both the Citizens’ and Peoples’ ticket, he may do so by marking an “x” opposite the name of the candidate for which he desires to vote (Be careful however not to vote for the same candidate on both tickets.) Thus if you are voting a scratched ticket, you should vote for three (3) Town Trustees, one from the First, Second and Third Wards respectively, and one (1) Town Clerk-Treasurer. All Speedway citizens are urged to be at the polls on November 7th to vote for these Town officers. Sample ballots will be posted in advance of the election in all public places in order that the citizens of the Town may study them thoroughly before voting.
