Republican Union 79 Sam Simmons of Multnomah County. 80 Al Thomas of Multnomah County. Vote for ONE NOTE. In the absence of an affirmative declaration in the statute that a ballot containing the name of a candidate in more than one place is void and shall not be counted, an error of the county clerk in printing the name of a candidate on the "Official Ballot" in two different groups of electors will not deprive the voter who casts such a ballot of the elective franchise, or the candidate for whom it is cast of the benefit of such vote: Miller v. Pennoyer, 23 Or. 374 (L. 1891, p. 23, § 49; H. C. p. 1191; L. 1895, p. 68, § 1). For Justice of the Peace § 3395. Margin of White Ballots-Difference Between, and Sample Ballots. There shall be provided and furnished for each election precinct not less than two white ballots for each vote cast in such election precinct at the general election next preceding, and a like number of the colored or sample ballots. The colored or sample ballots shall be duplicate impressions of the white ballots, but without perforated stubs, but in printing the white ballots the printer shall, every one hundred sheets, shift either the paper guides or the form so there will be a difference of not less than twelve points nor more than seventytwo points, or about one inch, in the margin of the white ballots between the different hundreds of sheets; and none of the white ballots shall have the some margin, either at the top or sides or bottom, as the colored ballots have, or nearer thereto than twelve points. These colored or sample ballots shall be furnished as soon as printed, at any time before the election, by the respective county clerks, in reasonable quantities, to all electors applying for the same; and on the day of the election, under the direction and control of the judges at each polling place, the sample ballots shall be given in reasonable and proper quantities to all electors applying for them. When any vacancy occurs by death or withdrawal aforesaid, and after the printing of the ballots, any person or persons are nominated, as aforesaid, to fill such vacancy, the county clerk shall, a sufficient time before the election, cause to be prepared and printed, according to law, upon cards of instruction, arranged in the manner herein required for the ballots, the names and information concerning such candidates so nominated to fill such vacancies caused by death or withdrawal; one of such cards, certified by the county clerk, shall be posted and kept posted in plain view in each compartment or place provided for preparing the ballots in each polling place, and the same shall also be posted in the county clerk's office from the time the same is prepared until after the election. § 3397. Cancellation of Names on Printed Ballots, It shall be the duty of the county clerk of each county to cause the name of each nominee who has thus withdrawn or died to be canceled upon the white ballots, and also the colored ballots, before they are given out to the electors. If said ballots have been already forwarded to the several election precincts, the county clerks shall, if there is time, certify the matter to the judges of the several election precincts, and then it shall be the duty of the judges of such election precincts, in accordance with such certification, to see that the name of each candidate who has thus withdrawn or died is canceled upon the white and colored ballots before they are given out to the electors, and also that such cards of instruction, or lists of the candidates nominated to fill such vacancy, are duly posted in each compartment or place provided for preparing the ballots, before the ballots are given out to the electors. § 3398. Ballot Boxes, How Provided and Used. It shall be the duty of the county clerk of each county to provide for each election precinct within such county, one large and one smaller ballot box or pouch, the larger one of which shall be used for the reception of all general ballots deposited and the smaller one for all ballots cast only for State or district officers. Said larger boxes or pouches shall be marked "General" and the smaller "State and District" respectively. Each of such ballot boxes shall be provided with a lid fastened with hinges and a good lock and key. The lid shall form the top of the box and contain an opening or slot five inches long and one-quarter of an inch wide for the reception of ballots. Each of such ballot boxes [or pouches] shall be of strong leather or canvas and provided with a good lock and key. In the top of each of such ballot pouches, there shall be a slot five inches long and one-quarter of an inch wide for the reception of ballots. All ballots cast by electors entitled to vote for all the officers to be elected at the general election shall be deposited in the box or pouch marked "General"; all ballots cast by electors qualified only to vote for State or State and district officers shall be deposited in the box or pouch marked "State and District."
