of each candidate upon the official ballot, and properly separ-
ated from said name, 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 ex-
pressed in one word only 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. 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 candidate 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 ballot but once,

candidate shall, in writing designate to said Board of Super-

right of his name on the ballot; provided, however, that such
party name shall consist of one word only. When the name of
a political party is given in connection with the name of a

If the same party name shall be claimed on behalf of nomina,-

and duly certified as aforesaid, the officers by whom the ballot
