seventeen voting precincts. The only
changes made from last year are. in con-
stituting Valley township new pre-
cinct, and fixing the voting place at the
schOolhOuse in district No. ~, and in
changing the voting place from George
III. Sections house TO Free Sections
store, where re postoaice now is.
Several new townships have been
formed, but no changes in the voting
precincts have been made other than
those noted above. Confusion will GER
tainly result unless the judges and
clerks of election are particular 10 allow
only those to vote at their precinct who
are entitled to do so.
For instance: Sharon township is
composed of the north half of town
ship 80. range 10, all of 81, range 10. and
all of 81, range 10. and yet the town
ship is divided into three precincts.
| Voters living in the north half of town
ship 81, range 10, must vote ut Mum
ford; those living i'm the north half of
| 80, range 10. must vote at HaZelton.
So, in counting the votes. the election
officers at Mumford and HazeltOn must
keep an account of the votes cast for
/ the Sharon township officers.
Mingona township is in the same fix;
part of the votes to be cast for Mingona
township officers must be cast at Lake
City, part at Leemore, and part at Med
icine Lodge. Mingona township has
been formed. but Mingona precinct re-
mains exactly as it was last year.
The new township of 1Etna and the
old township of Elwood must also look
out. Everybody who lives In the east
half of the old township OF Elwood will
be entitled to vote for ElwOod town
ship officers. Everyone living west of
the exact center of the old township
can vote for <Etna township officers.
Each voter must be careful to keep
within his own precinct. Part of the
voters of Deerhead precinct can also
vote for Ktna township officers.
Elm Mills precinct is now much small
er than Elm Mills township, and some
of the voters IN that township must
vote at Lake City for officers for Elm
Mills township.
But If each voter will carefully study
the boundaries of tie voting precincts
given below, and if each one knows the
numbers of the land on which he lives
there need I've no trouble.
The voting precincts are described
as follows:
