ically according to their surname, under the designations of
the office. Above the group of names of the candidates for
each office and upon a separate line immediately underneath
the designation of the office, there shall be printed in bold,
plain roman capitals, twelve-point (pica) type, an appropriate
direction or instruction to the voter, informing him of the
number of persons for whom he may lawfully vote for the
particular office mentioned immediately above each such direc-
