(b) A brace or other suitable device shall be printed to indicate to which proposition each "FOR" and "AGAINST" applies.
(c) A square for voting shall be printed to the left of each "FOR" and each "AGAINST."
(d) Immediately above the propositions, the following instruction shall be printed: "Place an 'X' in the square beside the statement indicating the way you wish to vote."
