the. method is to use that pencil upon
the ballot in the way indicated by
the statute.
“The law says how a straight ticket
shall be voted; in other words. how
the voter shall tnuuilesl or indicate
his desire to vote a straight ticket.
Clearly a straight ticket is the ticket
of a given party containing all of the
candidates or such party for the ot-
iices to be voted for. The law says:
“To vote a straight ticket he, the voter.
shall place a cross mark within the
circle at the head of the ticket which
he so desires to vote.‘ There seems
to be no way to indicate the desire of
the voter to vote his. or a full and
complete straight party ticket. other
than to make the cross mark within
the circle at, its head. like use of any
pose Would seem clearly to invalidate
the ballot.
split Tick-t.
"Now then. the law provides for
upiitting the straight ticket in case two
Or more are to be elected to the some
omcc. such as constables. grand Jurors,
alderman, or councilman as in this
case. and as to candidates for such
oilicc in tho straight ticket. as it ap-
pears to me. it says: 'in use two or
more persons are to be elected to fill
the same oilicc. any elector may split
such ballot by placing a cross mark in
the voting space on the left and be.
fore the names of such candidates for
whom he desires to cast such ballot.
such mark to be in addition to the
mark required to be placed within
said cimls.’ . ,
“Section 2 from which i have quot
ed. first provides tor voting the
straight ticket. When any elector
shall desire to vote a straight ticket he
shall place a cross mark within the
circle at the hand. Now. do one two
or more persons are to be elected to
fill the ante ofllce. any elector may
split such ballot.‘ What ballot? He
may split the straight ballot. or the
straight ticket. clearly. in. that case
where two or more persons are to be

how? ‘80 may spilt such ballot by
placing a cross mark in the voting

slros to cast such ballot. such mark to

"As i later at tbo‘ststute. there is
no apparent ndioation of a purpose
on the part at the General Assembly
to dopsrt from the hitherto privilege
