Who are Voters Z

In answer to the oft repeated question,
"Who are yoters?' the Rock Island Ar
gus gives the following accurate resume of
the law on the subject:
They must have been actual residents
of this State for one full year proceeding
the dav of election.
They must be actual residents OF the
town. precinct or ward in which they offer
to vote
They must be citizens of the United
States, over II years of age, or have been
living in this State at the time OF the
adoption of our present constitution, on
the lst day of April, 1913, and since.
Persons of foreign birth who were living
in this State on the lst Of April, lS4S, and
have since continued to reside therein,
are entitled to vote without getting out
naturalization papers.
Persons of toregl birth, who arrived in
the United States before they were ei gh-
teen years of age, are not required to take
out first papers, but are entitled to take
out their final papers OF naturalization,
after having resided here five years, on
presenting the proper proof Of residence,
good behavior, etc,
Persons of foreign birth, who arrived in
the Cunted States after they were eish-
teen years Of age, must also reside here
five years before they can become citizens.
They can declare their intention any
time after their arrival, but remain five
years before taking their final papers.
They must remain here two years after
declaring their intention, and five IN all,
before taking their final papers, and they
cannot vote until they have taken their
final papers. 1t is not necessary that the
two papers be taken out III the same coun-
" or even the same State.
CHAILENciyG.-If any any man who has
voted has any reason to suspect that any
one offering 20 vote has not right to do
so, he NAV challenge him. The Judges
of election may also challenge. If chal-
/ lenged. the person must take the follow
ing oath before he can vote:
You do swear, that YOU have resided
in the State of Illinois for twelve months
next preceding this election, and that you
are 4 citizen OF the United States, Cor was
AN inhabitant Of the State OF Illinois on
the l,t day of April. ISIS that YOU are -
years OF age, and that YOU reside in this
precinct or ward, and that you have not
voted at thr election, 50 help YOU God %
\ na;uralized citizen, having lost his pa
pere. i entitled 10 vote on taking the
above oath If the challenged person will
not taxi this oath. he Is not allowed to
vote II he does take it, he j. allowed 10
vote, unless it shall be proven rs evidence
satisfactory to a majority of the judges
that said oath Is false The judges decide
upon the testimony, and there is no in
slant appeal from their decision.
The taking Of = false oath Is a Ieniten

more barefaccd f.,lsehood was never ut
tered. The facts Of the case are simply
these.
The Reading ticket was made up before
the Charleston or Baltimore Convention,
and stood and stands still pledged simply
to vote for the nominee of the National
/ Democratic Convention. After the nomi
nation at Baltimore was made, neither the
Douglas nor Breckenridge Democracy were
satisfied with the Reading ticket Each
wing therefore, held new Convention
and nominated a separate ticket. From
that time forth efforts have been made to
consolidate the two tickets without effect
until finally, week ago, both parties
agreed TO Withdraw their tickets, and fall
lack upon the old Reading ticket which
has been done
Now the Breckenridge men excuse
their action in the matter by saying they
abide in this action simply by the regular
organization, and are willing to take the
ticket on trust.

ghost of poor defunct Joe Lane to brighten
Douglas Democrats. They talk in this
way. The late elections have demonstra
ted that there is no chance OF the election
of Douglas by the people. The prospect
is, that Breckenridge and Lane will
and johnson. or Bell and Everett SO if
the election GOES into the House, and that
BODY is unable to elect, then Hamlin and
Joe Lane, as the two highest candidates
for the Vice Presidency, will be sent to
the Senate, and from the two that body
will choose Lane, who will then become
the President Therefore, say these Re
publican wiseacres, if you don want Lane
for President, vote for Lincoln, and thus
prevent the election from going to the
House.
10 this we answer: In the first place,
we have no idea that Breckenridge and
Lane will get more electoral votes than
either Douglas and johnson or Bell and
Everett While the Breckenridge men
NAV be strong enough in the North to de-
feat Douglas in several OF the Northern
States, it is more palpable still that Doug
las is strong enough to defeat Brecken-
ridge in larger number Of the Southern
States. Bell, therefore, beyond question,
and not Breckenrid se-on the supposition
that Douglas loses New York, Rhode
Island. indiana Illinois, &c.-will be the
next highest candidate to Lincoln in the
the next highest on the list for the Vice
Presidency.
But, secondly, suppose, for Arguments
sake, that Breckenridge and Lane-and
not Douglas and johnson or Bell and Ev-
erctt-are second on the list to Lincoln
and iiamlin. Must it necessarily follow
that there must be failure to elect by the
House, and that the names Of lla,ulin and
Lane must De sent to the Senate for the
Vice Presidency? That can only follow
on the superstition, first that Lincoln's
friends in the House, who will have fifteen
out Of the thrty-threc States, will prefer
the election Of Lane to either Bell, Doug
las or Breckenridge, for they can elect Ell
thcr BY uniting With the friends of either
. Or, secondly, the friends Of Eel or Doug
las must prefer the election o. Lane 10 ihat
of Lincoln. for either can elect Lincoln and
defeat Lane by uniting with Lincoln :
friends. So whether Douglas gets Two or
