Rules And Managers

At a meeting of the county Dem
ocratic Executive Committee on
Saturday, August 2nd, it was un -
amiously deciued that a strict en
forcement r the rules of the p?rty

The managers of election are
urged to s* e that a free and im
partial right to votq without in
terference be granted to every
qualified voter. In those precincts
in which the Australian ballot w”!
be used, the rules require that the
manager shall be responsible ; for
all ballots furnished, and when a
voter presents himself he should
be given a ballot*, and the voter
shall immediately retire alone to
one of the booths, and without un
due delay prepare his ballot by
scratching out the name of the
candidates for whom he does not
care to vote. No voter shall re
main in the booth longer than five
minutes. After preparing his ballot
the voter shall present himself to
the manager. His ballot must be
folded in sdeh a way that the
number can be seen, and the cou
pon can be readily detached by
the manager without in any way
revealing the printed portion of
the ballot. Under no condition or
circumstances has anyone a right
to know for whom a voter is cast
ing a ballot. The secrecy of the
ballot must be preserved.
If a voter shall mar or deface a
ballot he may obtain one addition
al ballot upon returning to the
manager in charge of the ballots
the ballot so marred or defaced,
with the coupon attached. No vot
er shall be given a second ballot
until he has returned the first one
with the coupon attached.
In those precincts where the
Australian ballot is not to be used
the Manager shall account for
every ballot furnished, and under
no circumstances shall a voter,
candidate or anyone else be given
but ore ballot, and then only when
he presents himself to vote.

shall be allowed within the rail.
If a voter cannot read or write,
or is physically disabled, and by
reason thereof did not sign the en
rollment book, he may appeal to
the manager for assistance and the
chairman of the managers shall
appoint one of the managers and
. a bystander to be designated by
the voter, to assist him in prepar
ing his ballot. Immediately after
a voter’s ballot has been prepared,
the bystander so appointed shall
immediately go behind the guard
rail.
Neither the bystander appointed
to assist the voter or the manager
has any right to suggest to the vot
er the name or names of the candi
date for whom he shall vote, and a
violation of this rule will subject
the voter to be challenged, and
possibly result in a contest of the
box. And the managers are
strictly urged that they immed
iately report any Interference with
a voter’s right to select a candidate
for whom he desires to cast his
ballot.

Many farmers who formerly
hauled or shipped produce to mar
ket centers are now selling direct
to so-called truckmen-merchants
who call at the farm, says the Bu
reau of Agricultural Economics.
These itinerant merchants buy
supplies on speculation, and haul
to a consuming market within a
radius of 200 to 300 miles, or ped
dle the produce in small towns or
rural districts.
