The candi- dates of the Workers (Communist) Party are all on the last row with a pointer over each candidate. The emblem of the Workers (Commu- nist) Party, the hammer and sickle, and the name “WORKERS” is marked over each candidate. 3. To vote for a Communist can- didate, pull down the pointer over LIAM Z.
