The Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has adopted the following instructions for members, and directed they be printed in connection with the ballot.

1. Each organization member in good standing may cast one vote for each delegate to which it is entitled in the Annual Meeting.

2. The ballot shall be marked by entering a cross or the number of votes to which the organization member is entitled in the square at the left of the words "In favor" if the recommendation is favored, or at the left of the word "Opposed" if the recommendation is opposed.

3. If the organization member desires to have its vote recorded as divided it may do so by entering the vote to which it is entitled in the squares to the left of the words “In favor" and "Opposed" in such proportion as it sees fit. The total vote in the two squares must not exceed the total number of votes to which the organization member is entitled.

4. Fractional votes less than one-half shall not be entered. If so entered they shall on the canvass be carried to the nearest whole number.

5. The ballots which are so marked as to be clearly intelligible shall be counted. Where the sum of the numbers entered in the squares exceeds the total number of votes to which an organization member is entitled, canvassers shall in no case attempt to divide the votes but shall enter them as "In favor" or "Opposed" in accordance with the majority vote shown on the ballot.
