of the said last-mentioned counties of the State, or for any
person or voter to take into the polling place or booth any sam-
ple or fac simile of the ballot or to use any sample or fac simile
of the ballot when marking his ballot or take into the polling
place or use when marking his ballot any stencil, ruler, measure
or other mechanical device of any material or form as a means
of aid, guidance or assistance in marking his ballot. Any viola-
tion of any of the aforegoing provisions of this section shall be
punished by a fine of not less than five hundred nor more than
one thousand dollars or by imprisonment in jail for not less
than thirty days nor more than one year, in the discretion of
the Court.

54. The form and arrangement of the ballots shall be as fol-
lows: All ballots shall contain the name of every candidate
whose nomination for any office specified in the ballot has been
certified to and filed according to the provisions of this article,
and not withdrawn in accordance herewith. The names of can-
didates for every office shall, except in the case of candidates
for presidential electors, be arranged alphabetically according to
their surnames, under the designation of the office. Above the
group of names of the candidates for each office and upon a
separate line immediately underneath the designation of 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 imme-
diately above each such direction, thus: "Vote for One," or
"Vote for Two," or "Vote for Six," as the case may be. To
the right of the name of each candidate upon'the official ballot,
and properly separated from said names, and immediately to
the left of the square opposite the name of the candidate, and
in line therewith, shall be added the designation of the party or
principle which the candidate represents, as is duly contained
in the certificate of nomination or nomination papers (said
designation of the party, however, shall consist solely of the
name of the party to be expressed in one word only and noth-
ing more). To the name of each candidate for State office or
candidate for Congress shall be added the name of the county
or city in which the candidate resides. Ballots shall be so
printed as to give each voter a clear opportunity to designate
by a cross (X) in a square at the right of the name of each
candidate, and at the right of each question, his choice of
candidates and his answer to such question.

If the candidate is named for the same office on two or more
certificates of nomination, his name shall be printed on the
