I j When you get inside the Polling Booth, see that the Returning Officer gives 7011 two ipapers. BEAD THE LOCAL OPTION PAPER VERY CAREFULLY, so that you thoroughly understand it. Now look at it. Don't hurry! Never mind the lines at the very top of the paper. The only lines that concern you are the three which begin with the words, I VOTE ... Run your pencil through the FIRST of these three lines ONLY, the line which ends with the word " CONTINUE." You don't want the licenses to continue, so Strike Out that line— and that line only. Score every word of it out plainly, AND BE SURE THAT YOUR PENCIL DOES NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER LINE ON THE PAPER. Your Paper will then look like this:— l-Vofe-#af the Number.of Licenses oxistffig in the District Qmtim* I Vote that the Number of Licenses existing in the District be Reduced I Vote that No Licenses be Granted ip the District Don't put another mark on your paper. In the meantime, find out from the Registrar if your Name is on the Roll. All claims to vote do not reach the proper quarter, so make quite sure by personal enquiry.
