>DAY, OCTOBER 28,1920. MAT YOUR IQI BALLOTCLOSELY SbJ epublicati Ticket Print 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. (Copyright, 1020) 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 Americus Seed & Supply COMPANY Offer DEPENDABLE STOCKS of .ARM and GARDEN SEEDS From Reliable Growers For Southern Planting Ruta Baga Turnips Cabbage Spinach Kale Carrots Radish Lettuce Onion Sets Abruzzi Rye Fulghum Oats Rape Georgia Rye, Texas Red Rust Proof Oats Winter Vetch Burr Clover Crimson Clover PHONE 150. 121 W.

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 Democratic bai.ot iu the box.
