COURTS OF THE SEVERAL COUNTIES AND OF THE several
courts comprising the Supreme Bench of said city.

(d)    The party designation of each candidate, properly separated
from his name, shall be included on all ballots at any general elec-

columns by parties.

(f)    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 of
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 direction, as: "Vote for One", "Vote for Two", or "Vote
for Six", as the case may be.

(g)    When the name of a political party is given in connection
with the name of a candidate nominated by petition, it shall be
