1036 ELECTIONS. [ART. 33

1904, ch. 339.

55. The form and arrangement of ballot shall be as follows :
All ballots shall contain the name of every candidate whose
nomination for any office specified in the ballots has been cer-
tified and filed according to the provisions of this article, and
not withdrawn in accordance herewith. The names of candi-
dates for every office shall, except in case of candidates for
presidential electors, be arranged under the designation of
the officer. Above the group of names of the candidates for
each office, and upon a separate line immediately beneath 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 par-
