that perpendicular space or party ticket, except such as he shall erase by drawing lines through the names of those candidates he does not wish to vote for. Immediately below the circle above named, must be drawn a horizontal line, below which must be printed the names of the offices, to be printed in small capitals, and the names of the can. didates therefor, in not smaller than long primer capitals. When a President and vice-President of the United States are to be elected, the name of the office and the names of the candidates for electors must be printed in like type as directed for other offices and candidates, immediately below the last named horizontal line. The name of each office and the candidates therefor must be included in one space, but separated from other offices and candidates, by horizontal lines. To the right of the names of the offices and candidates, must be a light ruled perpendicular line, within which, and opposite the name of each candidate, must be printed a circle one-half (1-2) inch in diameter, within which, if the voter places a (X) his vote must be counted for the candidate whose name is thus marked: Provided, That if he has placed a cross in the large circle at the head of the ticket, his cross opposite the name of the candidate in any other ticket must not be counted unless he has erased the name of any opposing candidate in the ticket in which he placed his cross (X) in the large circle. The voter may instead of putting a cross in the large circle, vote only for such candidates as he desires, by placing a cross on the right of their names in the small circle, or by writing in the blank ticket the names of the persons he desires to vote for and placing across on the right of their names in the circle. Circles one-half (1-2) inch in diameter must be placed at the proper places in the spaces for constitutional and other questions, after the words of Yes and No, where the voter may place his cross as he desires to vote, also a like circle must be placed in the blank perpendicular space on the ballot, for the name of each candidate who may be therein voted for. All the names of the several like offices and the several opposing candidates therefor, must be placed on the same horizontal straight line. On the ballot in aid of the voter, may be placed such words or explanations as "vote for one," "vote for three," "Yes," "No," and the like. The same margin must be left above and below the printed matter.

The face of the ballot and the stub thereof must be in substantially the following form:

Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:

SEC. 2. When any political party desires to hold a primary election in any county, city or town, it is the duty of the duly authorized committee of such political party for such county, city or town to publish a notice in a newspaper of general circulation and of the same political af filiation, if there be one in the county once a week for at least two consecutive weeks, the first publication of which must be at least twenty and not over thirty days prior te the day appointed for such primary election, also to post at least two notices fifteen days prior to the primary election in public places, in each voting precinct in the county, city or town. Such notices must give the date when and the hours during which and the place where the primary election will be held, the number of delegates each election precinct is entitled to in convention and the offices for which candidates are to be nominated in such convention.

SEC. 3. Such primary election must be held in each voting precinct in the county, city or town on the same Monday afternoon commencing in the county precincts at 3 p. m. and continue until 6 p. m. and in city or town precincts it must commence at 2 p. m. and continue until 7 p. m.

election and the qualified voters present who are members of the political party holding such primary shall choose from their number a chairman, two clerks and two judges of election who shall not be selected in the interest of any particular candidate or candidates before the convention for which the delegates are to be elected. Such officers of the primary may be elected by a viva voce vote, but the delegates to the convention must be elected by ballot, and each qualified voter at such primary shall have on his ballot, which may be written or printed or partly written or partly printed as many names for delegates as such precinct is entitled to in convention: Provided, That if any ballot contains more names of delegates than such precinct is entitled to, such ballot shall be void and must not be counted, also when it shall appear that the same person casts more than one ballot as when two or more ballots are folded together, or from other clear evidence, all such ballots are void and must not be counted.

If primary elections for more than one political party are held on the same day they must not be held in the same room, or in the same immediate locality.

SEC. 5. For the information and assistance of the officers of the primary election in city or town precincts, where the voters are so numerous as not to be well known to such officers, the county committee of the political party holding such primary may borrow from the proper coun. ty custodian a "check list" of the voters of each of such precincts, used at the last general election, also a ballot box and when such county committee shall deem best, the provisions of this section may be applied to any precinct in the county. In any precinct where the county official ballot boxes are not available, any convenient box or receptacle may be used. Any such "check list" or ballot boxes so borrowed, must be promptly returned to the proper county custodian, upon the close of the primary election.

SEC. 6. Only regularly qualified voters who are entitled to vote at such primary elections are permitted to vote thereat or take any part therein, and it is unlawful for any person who was not affiliated at the last general election, or for any person who has not resided for at least thirty days in the election precinct where the primary election is held to vote or to take any part in such primary
