(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 immedi-
ately 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 prop-
erly 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 princi-
pal which the candidate represents, as is duly contained in the
certificate of nomination or nomination papers (said designa-
tion of the party, however, shall consist solely of the name of
the party and nothing 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. Bal-
lots 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

candidate represents. When the name of a political party is
given in connection with the name of a candidate nominated

in groups, as presented in the several certificates of nomination
papers, and the several groups shall be arranged in such order
