this Article, and not withdrawn in accordance therewith. The
names of candidates for every office shall, except in the case
of candidates for Presidential Electors, be arranged alpha-
betically 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-
tion, thus: "Vote for One, " "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 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 expressed 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

candidate, and at the right of each question., his choice of
candidate and his answer to such question. If the can-

said candidate shall be added the name of one of the
parties which such candidate represents, as appearing in
said certificate of nomination, and the Board of Super-
visors of Elections shall cause to be printed to the right of
the name of such candidate whatever one of said party names,
so appearing in said certificate of nomination, the said candi-
date shall, in writing, designate to said Board of Supervisors
as the party named which he desires to be added to the right
of his name on the ballot; provided, however, that such party
name shall consist of one word only. When the name of a
