ed To Deceive
Voters
ATLANTA, Oct. 2'(.—-“Don't vote
Republican ticket by mistake,'
the advice to Georgia Democrats
Thomas W. Hardwick and other
|mocratic nominees whose names
placed upon the “official
an ballot" without their
knowledge, consent or approval.
Democrats here express the beliei
that the Democratic dbminees were
bodily placed on the Republican bal
lot either for the purpose of curry
ing favor with those Democrats who
may be inclined to vote for Harding
and Coolidge or for the purpose of
catching Democratic voters by mis
take.
Whether a voter of Democratic af
filiation makes such a mistake w’i
depend upon whether he iooks at the
top or the bottom of the ticket. A
voter presenting himself at the polls
on the Becond day of November will
find available two sets of tickets.
One will be the Republican tickets
and the other will be the Democratic
tickets. Both will be printed on
white paper, about the same size,
siimlar as to type, and each with no
distinguishing marks upon them at
'a glance.
At the top of the Democratic tick
et will appear the list of Democratic
presidential electors, followed by the
- list of Democratic nominees for the
United States senate, governor and
state house offices. At the top of
the Republican ticket will appear the
list of Republican presidential elec
tors, followed by the identical same
list of Democratic nominees.
In voting in the general election
•the voter does not “strike” his bal
lot as he does in a primary, where a
choice is made between competing
candidates whose names appear upon
the same ballot or ticket. He votes
either the Republican ticket, bearing
one set of names, or the Democratic
THE GRAY BALL.
“WHAT’S that fort” asked Mr. Ben
TV Bunny, ponting with his cane to
a round gTav ball hanging from the
lowest branen of the wiilow tree by
thfe Lily Pond w.-iere the Meadow
Grovo school was having its regular
fall picnic. Mr. Scribble Scratch
didn’t know, but said Nick would tell
him, as he had charge of ail the
games.
Now the truth was that Nick didn’t
know a whole lot about the ball him
self, but that morning he had re
ceived a note from somebody who
hadn’t signed his name and this is
what the twins had read:»
WhoeVer hits the large gray ball
on the willow tree first will get some
thing most unusual.’’
“I see," said Ben, nodding ap
provingly. “There’s a prize for the
jest hitter—for anyone who hits the
bull’s-eye. Now, sir, what shall we
throw and when shall we begin?”
He laid down his cane and rolled
up his sleeves, thereby showing his
willingness to start the ball rolling,
or, at you might say, to start the
stone-throwing.
Nancy had filled her apron pockets
with stones from the edge of the
pond, and now passed them around
to everyone.
Then all the boys lined up and took
turns trying to hit the ball on the
tree.
Greenie Grasshopper couldn’t
throw a cent’s worth, nor any of the
bug people, nor Phil Frog, nor Teddy
Toad, but the Muskrat boy and Ben
Bunny and Wall? Woodchuck had
pretty good luck. But when Scam
per Squirrel threw, whack, it hit the
ball right in the middle.
“Bzzzzzzzz," went the ball.
You’ve hit the Bull’s-eye,’’ sang
out Nick, “and that’s the best any
one can do.'
No one wanted to try after that.

ticket, bearing another set of names.
Therefore, a voter who puts in the
box a Republican ticket, thereby
votes for the Republican nominees,
while a voter who puts in the box .1
Democratic ticket, thereby votes for
the Democratic nominees. There is
no marking or scratching of names
to be done on either ticket.
Hence a Democrat desiring to vote
the Democratic ticket for president
is liable to be deceived by the
Democratic appearance of the bot
tom part of the Republican ballot.
In voting for president, the voter
does not cast his ballot directly. He
votes for presidential electors, and
these in turn cast the ballot of their
state. If the Republican electors
should carry Georgia, then the votes
of this state in the electoral college
would pro for Harding. If the Demo
cratic electors carr ythe state, then
the votes of GroegiC? abr.hL
the votes of Georgia in the electoral
college go for Cox. t
Another peculiarity of the official
Republican ballot is that it bears the
names of two candidates for the

United States senate. The first is
the name of Thomas E. Watson, and
the second is the name of- Harry
Stillwell Edwards. Both of these
appear to have been placed upon the
ballot without the permission of the
gentlemen. Mr. Watson specifically
declined the Republican offer to put
his name on their ballot. Mr. Ed
wards announced sometime ago that
he was not running as a Republican
candidate, but.hs an independent
who favors the League of Nations.
G. H. Williams, the Dublin man who
started out as a Republican candidate
for the senate, withdrew some days
ago on the ground that Mr. WaL-on
represented the views concerning the
League of Nations.
\ oters who wirh to cast the Demo
cratic ballot should examine care
fully the ballots, furnished them at
the polls, and sec that they put a

car be determined by examining tne

bears at the top the captiqn. Of
