The law is that a voter shall have resid-
ed in the state one year; or, if having pre-
viously been qualified elector or native
born citizen thereof, he shall have removed
therefrom and returned, then he shall have
resided therein six months Immediately
preceding the election. His removal from
the state is a question of intention. If he
went away inteniing to make his home in
another state, it would take six months to
entitlc him to vote on his return. If he
left home on a visit, intending to return
again, it matters not where he goes, nor
how long he remains away, he has right
to vote the very day of his return provid-
ing his taxes are paid. In your case you
are clearly entitled to vote.
