When you got inside the Polling Booth, see that the Beturning Officer gives you two ipapers, BEAD TUB LOCAL OPTION PAPEB 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 ... Eun your pencil through the FIRST of these three lines OHLY, the line which ends with the word " COETTIIinTE." 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 DOBS NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER LIUE O3>T THE PAPER. Your Paper will then look like this :— I Vote that the Number of Licenses existing in the District be Reduced I Vote that No Licenses be Granted in the District Don't put another mark on your paper. In tho meantime, find out from the Registrar if your Name is on the Roll. All claims to vote io not reach tho proper quarter, so make quite sure by persona] enquiry.
