[Illustration: SKETCH OF POLLING PLACE.]
SUGGESTIONS TO VOTERS.
Give your name and residence to the ballot clerk, who, on finding your name on the check list, will admit you within the rail and hand you a ballot.
Go alone to one of the voting shelves and there unfold your ballot.
Mark a cross X in the square at the right of the name of each person for whom you wish to vote. No other method of marking, such as erasing names, will answer.
Thus, if you wished to vote for John Bowles for Governor, you would mark your ballot in this way:—
GOVERNOR Vote for ONE
JOHN BOWLES, of Taunton Prohibition. X
THOMAS E. MEANS, of Boston Democratic.
ELIJAH SMITH, of Pittsfield Republican.
If you wish to vote for a person whose name is not on the ballot, write, or insert by a sticker, the name in the blank line at the end of the list of candidates for the office, and mark a cross X in the square at the right of it. Thus, if you wished to vote for George T. Morton, of Chelsea, for Governor, you would prepare your ballot in this way:—
GOVERNOR Vote for ONE
JOHN BOWLES, of Taunton Prohibition.
THOMAS E. MEANS, of Boston Democratic.
ELIJAH SMITH, of Pittsfield Republican.
George T. Morton, of Chelsea X
Notice, that for some offices you may vote for "two" or "three" candidates, as stated in the ballot at the right of the name of the office to be voted for, e.g.: "COMMISSIONERS OF INSOLVENCY. Vote for THREE."
