Recount to Commence
August rs.

AuS uSe zoe
Supervisor Wardle has decided to
commence the recoOnt of ST.. Paul ON
Aug. 25. The intervening eleven days
will be filed by good, hard work by the
census committee, as is indicated by the
following address to the citizens of st.
Paul:
Arrangements for the recount of St.
Paul ordered by the secretary of the in
terror are now in progress. The emu
meration itself will not begin until
Aug. 25, but the preliminary arrange
ments are being made under the direc-
tion of j. I'll. Wardle, the supervisor in
charge. This gentleman comes to us
without any knowledge of the local
geography of the city, but with the in
tention of giving us full, fair, COM
plete and honest count. This can only
be secured by the active, earnest and
united cooperation Of our citizens. The
enumeratorS are to be our own people,
selected from list recommended by
this committee. This not enough, how
ever, to secure a complete and thorough
census. We need, and ought to have,
the cooperation of every resident and

every one, as you are interested or have
Pride in the City,
give such time and assistance as lies
within your power. A little aid from a
large number of people will accomplish
a great work. Let the enumera tors be
met cordially, and promptly supplied
with full information as to your own
family, including servants, boarders
and dodgers. Thousands of our citizens
are absent. There can be no four days
(Which is the time for the recount) in
any year, or at any time of the year,
when there will not be thousands of
absentees from st. Paul. Many alb
seDteeS are unmarried, who are simply
boarders when at home. Many whole
families are absent, with no one to
speak for or represent them. The fist
duty is to secure the name and present
postoffice address of any citizen known
to be temporarily
Absent From ST. Paul,
together with his location or home prior
to leaving the city. In the case of those
who have no house or settled boarding
place, the report should be made to this
effect, including their last location be-
fore leaving, that their names may be
placed upon the supplementary schedule,
to be forwarded to Washington. When
the recount begins every citizen should
make it his duty, during its progress, to-
ascertain whether his neighborS and acr.
ouaintanceS generally have been emu.
merated. In case of omissions. or sup
posed omissions, reports should be
promptly made. 1t is better to err on
the safe side, and report supposed abs
such reports will be verified. The
joint committee of the city council and
citizens have permanent quarters in the
council chamber, on the second floor of,
the city hall, where
Responsible Parties
will be in attendance every day and
evening until the work is completed.
You will always find some one there to
receive your reports If you call in per-
son; or, if you prefer to send informa-
tion by mail. address W. M. Bushnell,
chairman. at the council chamber, st.
Paul. 1t is beyond question that in the
original count many names swere omit
ted. The recount gives! us many adj
vantages which did not exist before.
The pay is to be by the day instead of
by the name; the enumeratOrS will have
smaller districts, a greater number
being employed. The cordial cO-Opera-
tion of all in giving information is in
vited to greater extent than before.
1t is within the power of the citizens of
st. Paul to demonstrate that,
Whatever Errors
may have occurred in the first census,
he total result did not give the full
population of the city by many thou
sands. This appeal is addressed to ev-
cry resident of this city. There are
none too high or too low, or too much
occupied with private business. to rem
der some assistance in the premises.
If you have any information you think
of value, give us the benefit of the
doubt by reporting it to the joint COM
mittee in the council chamber, either
in person or by mail. We ask only that
every bona tfde resident of st. Paul be
found and enumerated on the recount.
We do not wish single name placed
upon the list to which we are not en-
titled, and by the same token, we do
not wish single one omitted to which
we are entitled.
The committee appeals to the people
of st. Paul to assist in this work, on the
broad ground of their interest in the
public welfare. We have no personal
ends 10 serve, and have no more inter-
estthan you have in full census of the
city. We ask each of you to appreciate
that it is personal duty and obligation,
resting on you, to give all the aid in
your power.
