ions the Democratic committees have ar
ranged one of the most thorough plans for
securing the full vote that could be devised.
b. q. Winston, the brother of the candidate
for mayor, Is the hustler who is taking
charge of this work, and he is organizing a
most effective campaign. The work is
purely non-partisan in character and is
meeting with the aid and cooperation of
the Republicans of both the city and county
com mittees.
All day Sunday the parties were at work
mapping out the plans. They are
substantially this: All the voters who
have not registered-Republicans and Dem
ocrats, alike-who have voted in this city at
the Last election and have moved, must reg
lister. If a voter moved into another house
in the same voting district he must register
again. IF he has moved to another district
he must not only resister again, but he must
get transfer from his former polling place
and take that to his present polling place
when he goes to register. But some voters
can not spare the time to do this and the
plans now being put in operation
are to aid these men in getting their names
on the register.
The city attorney has decided that voters
may make out their oaths of removal before
any notary public. The voters have been Wis
tied at their homes or places of
employment by the notaries who
have been sent out. After the afidavits of
removal are sworn to they will be sent to
headquarters at 10 Fourth street south, and
will go through clearing house. They will
then be sent to the various polling places
where the voters last cast their ballots.
The judges will make out the removal certi-
ficates and they will be taken to the polling
districts where the voters now reside, so that
all the voter need do after he has given one
of these affidayits to notary will be to go
to his polling place and register. 1t is ex-
pected that this transfer of certificates will
take several hours, so that no voter who has
made an affidavit of removal should try to
register before 4:30 o'clock today.
1t has been discovered that many of the
last registration day have been lost, so that
voters should make it a point to see that
their names are on the list.
Conveyances will be found at each of the
III precincts today, and notaries have been
engaged to administer the oaths, and the
clearing house work will be performed at
the Democratic headquarters, on Fourth
street, under the supervision of Henry Bald
rey, the directory man. This plan will facil-
itate the registration greatly and has been
approved by all parties as the most perfect
and expeditions yet devised.
The Scandinavian Republicans of Mime
apolls should not forget the meeting to be
held at Normanna Hall tomorrow evening,
under the auspices of the Swedish American
club. Prof. j. S. Carlson, of st. Peter, will
address his fellow citizens in the Swedish
language, and being finished and eloquent
speaker. his utterances will be of interest to
all. Charles A. Towne, of Michigan, will
address the English speaking portion OF
the audience, which will be of large proper
lions, judging from present indications.
The judges of election in some precincts
have neglected to comply with the time
honored custom OF posting outside the poll
ing places complete list of registered vct-
ers of their precincts. There is considerable
kicking in consequence on the part of those
who sought to know whether they are regis
tered or not. There were several men who,
on their way down town yesterday, stepped
around to their polling places to satisfy
themselves in this regard but found no poll
list. The judges of course were not on duty
and therefore, feeling of doubt arises in
the minds of these same parties as to whether
they are entitled to vote or not.
The meeting in st. Paul this even
ing, at which Speaker Tom Reed is the at
traction, will be the great political meeting
of the campaign in Minnesota from the Re
publican standpoint. 1t is interesting not
only to st. Paulites but to citizens of Min
neapolls. A special train Is to be run for the
benefit of the Minneapolis contingent that
will attend, and special accommodations are
to be extended to the visitors from this city.
The Flambeau club will of course be there.
The old soldiers will be represented by the
ward clubs of the several wards are expected
to turn out and join in the procession.
About 700 uniformed men are expected to
turn out in the parade. This is besides the
old soldiers and the men in citizens dress.
The announcement about the trains will be
made today.
Deputy Clerk C. C. Webster, of the United
States circuit court, has made out over 900 nat
uralization papers within the last 10 days, and
expects that the total will reach ], 800 before he
concludes this branch of his labors. He expects
an unprecedented rush of new citizens today.
As this is the last chance for registration,
ladies who desire to vote for members of the
several polling places and have their names
recorded. Very few nave applied thus far, but
as they are as deeply interested in the success
and prosperity of the schools as their brethren,
they should not neglect the last opportunity for
complying with the necessary formality.

Democrats, who never lie.
additional speeches by Knute Nelson In Mime
apolis before the close of the campaign. This
announcement will send a few chills along the
Democratic spine, and 1T may be stated in the
way of consolation that definite arrangements
have not been completed up to this time.
One peculiar feature of the present campaign

have been scored unmercifully by Democratic
speakers and papers. Even those who were

| orators, whether genuine or galvanized.
