Absentee Balloting
Will you have to be absent from your home-town on August 5, primary election day?
If so, you should know what to do so you can vote an absentee ballot. You must first be a registered voter. You may register in Lawrence until Friday, July 25.
If you are from Kansas and will be away from your hometown but within the state on primary election day, you may go to the polls wherever you are and vote an absentee ballot.
Before you can vote, however, you will have to make an affidavit before one of the election judges at the polls that you are a qualified voter of your own precinct and that it is necessary for you to be absent from your own precinct.
You will then receive a special absentee party ballot. It will list the names of candidates for state-wide and national offices, but the names of candidates for county, district and township offices in your home county will not appear. You will have to write in the names of these candidates so be sure you know the names of your candidates.
However, the write-in votes for county, district and township officers must be for bona fide candidates or they will not be counted.
Write-in candidates are permitted in the primary only where no candidate has filed for the office and for party precinct committeeman and committeewoman since they are actually elected in the primary.
The absentee ballot will then be mailed to your home county and counted by the canvassing board.
If you will be out of Kansas August 5 you can do one of four things:
1. If you are not leaving until the absent-from-state ballots are printed, you may go to the county clerk's office and cast your ballot. These ballots are ready no later than 25 days before the primary.
2. If the ballots are not prepared before you leave you may apply for a ballot before you leave and have it mailed to you.
3. You may also apply for the ballot by mail after you are out of the state. If you do this you will first be sent an application form and later a ballot.
4. The deadline for applying for a ballot in the three preceding cases is Thursday, July 31. If you will be absent from the state on primary day but will be in town the Friday, Saturday or Monday immediately preceding the Tuesday election, you may apply for an absent-from-state ballot on any of these days until noon Monday. In this case you hand in your ballot immediately or by 1 p.m. Monday.
The absent-from-state ballot, unlike the absent-within-state ballot, will contain the names of candidates for county, district, and township offices.
You may apply for the absent-from-state primary ballot from your county clerk anytime before July 31. In order to be counted, these ballots must reach the county clerk by 9 a.m. Monday, August 4.
Make arrangements so you will be able to vote.

DETROIT—The thief who broke into a house here yesterday and switched a portable TV set probably didn't know what he was letting himself in for. The house belongs to Police Commissioner Edward S. Figgins.
ATLANTA—Police looked high and low for a burglar yesterday, only to find that a baseball game was at the root of the trouble. A young slugger knocked a ball through the window of a paper firm across the street, setting off the burglar alarm.
PENSACOLA, Florida — Speed was what M. L. Foley, 51, wanted after detectives nabbed him on a bad check charge. And speed is what he got. He told the officers he wanted to "get it over with quick" and within 30 minutes he was tried, sentenced to 30 days and placed in jail to begin serving his term.
NEW YORK—The department of parks announced yesterday it would cost $1,250,000 to rehabilitate the Soldiers and Sailors Monument, built in 1902 as a memorial to New York's Civil War dead at a cost of $250,000.
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif.- The hair of a number of U.S. Marines may soon match the color of their uniforms, if they don't watch out. Officials here warned blond-haired leathernecks that, with repeated dousing, the high chlorine content of the camp's swimming pools could turn their hair to a Marine Corps green.
MARSHFIELD, Wis. — Edward W. ROTTSCHEITT, 42, lost his bearings somewhat—and as a result was fined $50 and lost his driver's license for a year. He was convicted of drunken driving while piloting his power mower along city streets.

To Change Price,Color
Washington—(UPI)—U. S. letter-writers will soon be getting used to a lavender stamp bearing the likeness of Abraham Lincoln—and costing four cents.
The Post Office Department expects no trouble changing over to the higher-priced stamps that will be required starting Aug. 1, when postal rates go up to four cents for letters, three cents for postal cards and seven cents for airmail.
The Department has already stepped up production of the "Lincoln" stamps to meet what is certain to be a tremendous demand.
The new seven-cent air mail stamp, replacing the present six-center, will feature the silhouette of a jet airliner. This new blue-and-white stamp will have its first-day sale in Philadelphia July 31 at the annual convention of the American Airmail Society.
Officials said 8.500,000,000 three-cent stamps were printed in fiscal 1957. They expect to repeat the same production figure for the fourcent stamp.
Production of three-cent stamps will be sharply curtailed, dropping to about 3.500,000,000 a year—the same as the two-cent stamp output last year. The three-cent stamp now will be used on postal cards.
Future commemorative stamps will be issued at the new fourcent rate. The first will be the Simon Bolivar "Champion of Liberty" stamp which goes on sale in Washington, D.C., July 24.
Of course, it will be perfectly all right to use the old stamps you have on hand when the rates go up. You can just put a one-cent stamp on a first class letter along with a three-cent stamp. Similarly, one of the old six-cent airmail stamps plus a one-center will do just as well for an airmail letter on Aug. 1 as will one of the new seven-cent airmail stamps.
Postal officials said the department's coin-operated stamp-dispensing machines can be adjusted easily to handle the new four-cent stamp for first class mail as well as the seven-cent airmail stamp.
The department said it does not expect to wind up with an oversupply of three-cent stamps when the new rates take effect Aug. 1. Officials said they have always kept the supply "within reason" because of a lack of storage space.
Commercial companies will make the necessary changes in stamp machines in drug stores and other locations outside post offices.
