At a meeting of the county Dem ocratic Executive Committee on Saturday, August 9th, it was unanimously decided that a strict enforcement of the rules of the party will be required at the primary election to be held on September 2nd. The managers of election are urged to see that a free and im partial right to vote without in terference be granted to every qualified voter. In those precincts in which the Australian ballot will be used, the rules require that the managers 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 him self to the manager. His ballot must be folded in such a way that the number can be seen, and the coupon 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 ;he Manager shall account for every ballot furnished, and under no circumstances shall a voter, candidate or anyone else be given jut one ballot, and then only when he presents himself to vote. No person shall be allowed^with- in the guard rail except as herein after provided. The ballot boxes and the booths shall be surrounded by a rail placed twenty-five feet away from said ballot boxes and booths and no person or persons except the members of the Execu tive Committee and Police Officers 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 pre paring his ballot. Immediately aftor a voter’s ballot has been pre pared, the bystander so aopointed 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 voter the name or names of the candidate for whom he shall vote, and a violation of this rule will subject the voter to be chal lenged, and possibly result in a contest of the box. And the man agers are strictly urged that they immediately report any inter ference with a voter’s right to select a candidate for whom he desires to cast his ballot. From the time of the opening of the poll until the announcement of the result and the signing of the official returns, no person shall be admitted to the polling place except the manager, duly authorized watchers and chal- engers, the Chairman of the Ex ecutive Committee or member of ;he Executive Committee appointed n his stead to supervise this poll ing place. Provided, that candidates voted for at such polling places may be present at the canvass of ;he votes, and provided further. ;hat the canvass of the votesr* shall be open to the public. In the event that there is any nterference with the right of the voter to cast his ballot or any ob struction of the voting, it shall be the duty of the managers to sus pend the election until order is estored, or as may be provided by the rules of the party. Upon the close of the election, managers shall account to the Ex ecutive Committee for all ballots delivered to them and make the dllowing returns: (1). The num ber of official ballots furnished to each polling place: (2). The num ber of official ballots spoiled and returned by voters: (3). The num ber of official ballots returned to the Executive Committee: (4). The number of official ballots actually voted. hereinafter provided for. Section 2. He shall make appli- cation m writing for a ballot to the Committee on Enrollment or Club Secretary, of his precinct, not less than five (5) days i,or more than sixty (60) days prior to the primary in which he desires to vote, if he be within the con fines of the United States The application may be handed to the Enrollment Committee or Club Secretary and the applicant shall deposit the necessary postage, or the correct amount in legal tender, necessary for registering the ba’.- lot, and full directions for mailing the same. But the failure to de posit necessary postage shall not render void a vote otherwise legally cast. Section 3. The Committee on Enrollment or Club Secretary, shall, upon receipt of the applica tion for ballot. If the applicant is duly registered in that precinct, enroll the name and address of the applicant on a list to be kept by them for that purpose and to de liver to applicant in person, or forward to the applicant, by reg istered mail the following: (a) An envelope containing the folded ballot, sealed and marked “Ballot within. Do not open except in presence of postmaster” (or other person mentioned in Section 6); (b) An envelope for resealing the marked ballot, on which is printed the “voucher,” form of which is hereinafter provided; (c) A prop erly addressed envelope for the re turn of said ballot; (d) A printed slip giving full instructions re garding the manner of marking of the ballot, in order that same may be counted, and how prepared and returned; (3) A “coupon,” the form of which is hereinafter given.
