Amend the Election Laws.

When the case of the men accused oi
fraudulent voting in Missoula county
comes to trial good cause will be shown
why the election laws of this territory
should be amended, The case with
which frauds on the ballot box have been
committed amounts to scandal, and
the legislature will fail OF its duty if il
neglects to correct the evil, A registra
tion law applicable to cities is an abso.
lutte prerequisite to fair election.
Nearly all the states have such laws,
which are found to work satisfactorily.
ANY provision whereby citizen may
vote in precinct other than the one in
which he has his residence opens the
way to fraud, If q man does not value
the elective franchise sufficiently to go
home and vote he should not find fault
If, in the interest of fairness. he is de-
barred from voting elsewhere. proper
amendment to the existing law in this
respect will not work injunously to any

Six months residence in the territory
is not sufficient period to qualify for
the intelligent exercise Of the riaht OF
suffrage; the time should be eg .ended 10
one year, which is The rule in most of
the states. There is altogether too much
voting done BY men who have rothins
at stake in the tefr.o ', and an amend

A registration law made applicable to
