GIVEN A TRIAL AT THE COURT HOUSE. People Came From all Sections of the County On Last Friday to see the New Method of Voting Tried Much Interest Aroused ~ Not Generally Understood, As announced last week, the Pitts burg Zins had their representative on hand last Friday with a complete outfit for holding a sample election according to the provisions of the Baker Ballot Act. The outfit, consisting of voting compartments, guard rail, ballot box, ballots, ete., were set in place in the arbitration room of the court house. Prominent democrats and republicans from every section of the county were on hand that day to see the new style of voting and gain as much information as possible. Many of election boards were in attendance and asked as many ques members as they could to make sure they would understand the system fully. Mr. Henry Hall, agreeable tions of the and obliging great pains to make Mr. crowd at Bellefonte for telegram appeared in following day: Times, man and took everything clear.

The ballot is almost as large of the CENTRE DEMOCRAT is their in. ele there f in. Sede r sample elec. varions sections of AS a page and con- cratic tickets with blank space enough to write an additional ticket. At the head of the sheet are the instructions: (A cross (x) marked in the square at the right of the ; party name indicates a vote for ali the candidates of that party.) (A cross (x) marked in the square right of the name of the candidate vote (only) for that candidate.) The meaning of these instructions are simple, yet they proved confusing to to many voters. If you want to vote the straight Democratic ticket all that is necessary is to make an (x) after the word “Democrat” at the head of that ticket. If you wish to vote a mixed ticket with a mingle name on another ticket you must not put an (x) after the party name, but must make a mark after each individual on the ticket for whom you wish to vote. Should you put an (x) after the Democratic heading and then further down put an (x) after a nominee on the republican ticket, say for Congress, your vote for that office is lost, because you indicated above that you intended to vote the entire demo. cratic ticket, also that you voted for two men for Congress—the democrat and republican--and as there is but one to be elected your ballot is uncertain and is not counted either way for congress, and is lostonly for that office. There is nosuch a thing as “scratching” a man on the ticket. If yon make an (x) t the heading and then further down draw a line througha name on the ticket your vote will still be considered full. No “scratching,” gentlemen, in this sytein, These ave a few of the most prominent difficulties encountered in this ballot system, at the Indicates a i nished | Necessary i b | N LIES § Mrs, be | a { # > “i gave ri Rid. tains the complete republican and demo- | lows: The voter annouices his name and if found entitled to un wte his name is read aloud, He is tien admitted within the guard rail.

From the start it was nip and tuck, both clubs being very evenly matched. At the beginning of the ninth inning the scorestood 1to 1. A costly error let in two more runs and Philipsburg won by 3to 1.
