Regulations for Voters.

The system of preferential voting to be used is as follow: the ballot is divided into four columns, the first column containing the list of candidates alphabetically arranged; in the second column the voter will indicate his first choice by marking a cross (X) after the name of the candidate he favors most; in the third he will indicate his second preference in a similar manner; in the fourth he will mark a cross (X) after every other candidate whom he is willing to support. Votes cast for fictitious and impossible candidates will not be counted.

The watchers at the polls have been assigned the following duties: Men after whose names the letter (A) appears, will hand out the ballots and give the name of the voter to the checker; (B), will check off the voter's name from the list of members of the University; (C), will drop the ballot in the box.
