effect'
"A poll shall be opened In each com

located at the quarters of the captain
01 other officer theieof, and all elec

or their ptoper place of election as
aforesaid, the elcctot.s piesent may
open a poll, nt suth place as they may
select, and cettlfy the piocoodlngs In
the poll book.
SOME OF THE DETAILS.
"The polls shall be open at least three
hours.
"The electots piesent shall choose
three judges of election. The ludges
of election shall appoint two clerks nnd
piepaio suitable ballot boxes. The
Judges of election may, and, upon chal
lenge, shall, exnmlne any uppllcnnt in

"Separate poll books shall be kept,

and the place, post or hospital In which
such election is held.
"Each ticket shall have wtitten or
pi luted thereon the names of nil the
ofilceis which may be propeily voted
for at said election, for which tho said
elector desires to vote.
"Two of the Judges, on making the
count, shall read the ballots and tho
third shall stilng the vote foi each
county upon a separate thread
"The Judges shall transmit one of the
poll books, tally list, returns and tickets
to the piothonotary of each county
lepresented by voters.
"Not more than one commissioner
shall be assigned to any one leglment.
He shall be allowed ten cents a mile
for each mile tiaveled by the generally
traveled unite from his home to the
camp and teturn. He shall deliver
copies of the act and tickets to the
election ofilceis and shall have geneial
supervision over the election. One of
the poll books of each polling place

"Wheie a voter Is one of a detail of
less than ten voters who are not able
to leach their company or tegular poll
ing place, he may deposit his vote In a
sealed envelope and give It to a quali
fied elector of the dlstilct In whlth he
votes, to cast for him by ptoxy. This
vote Is subject to challenge the same
as If the voter was present.
"A poll tax of ten cents Is imposed
on every Pennsylvania soldier lu the
field at the time of an election, but he
shall be exempt from nil other person
al taxes. Election ofilceis lecelve no
compensation."
Where theie Is a conflict between the
Curtlu act nnd the Raker ballot law
the more iccent law will, of coutse,
obtain. The only conflict is that bal
lots of the present blanket style will
be substituted for tho old fashioned
folder ballot.
The act does not apply to tlje election
of councils or ward and division officers
