Description
The following table shows the vote for each candidate for Presidential Elector. The voter was directed to vote for up to 34 names on the ballot, which could include all from one party or a mixture of candidates from different parties. This is an example of the "General Ticket" method, in which the voter was directly electing the Electors rather than electing slates of Electors with a single vote (the "short ballot" in use today).

Note: The table is not yet complete.
