ARE YOU COUNTED?
If Not Report at Once to the
Census Committee in
City Hall.
Half Of the Enumerators
Have Completed Their
Districts.
Only a Few More Days Left
Before the Census
Is Closed.
Let Every One See to 1t That
Himself and Neighbor
Are Enumerated.

in the recount had yesterday reported
the completion Of their districts to the
special agent. But a few more days
and the count will be closed. 1t is
therefore urgent that every citizen who
has not been counted-whO has not seen
the enumerat9r-Or who even knows OF
any person who has not been included in
the census. should at once communicate
with j. j. McCardy, secretary of the
census committee. Every patriotic
citizen should see to this. Let the
enumerators be as careful as they may,
there are certain to be many persons
of bona fide residents have been
missed. The citizens committee have.
already been furnished with the names
and addresses OF scores. This is just
what the committee desire. They say
to every citizen of st. Paul: IF you
have not been enumerated COM
municate with US at once. Your
complaint will be investigated and if
the schedules show your name has been
missed it will at once be included by
the special agent?" There need be no
backwardness on the part of any
person. Clerks have Deen engaged to
furnish people all information required,
and if any one even doubts his or her
name has not been taken, letter or
postal card giving name and address if
forwarded to the city hall will receive
immediate attention. 1t is only by
this means the full population of
st. Paul can be obtained. The census
committee complain, and with some
justice, that citizens generally do not
take sufficient interest in the census,
and that the duty of seeing full count
is taken largely devolyes upon a few
unselfish men. Really this ought not to
be the case. 1t is to the interest of
every man and woman residing in the
city that the recount should be as thor
ough as it is searching. Very
little is asked. The last count
was admittedly full OF errors, and
came below the actual population.
There will be no errors in the present
count. and if every citizen will resolve
himself into committee of one to see
that every st. Paulite is ION the list"
there is no fear of the total population
falling below high water mark. Don't
forget that the time is limited. Re-
member that the duty is one devolving
upon the humbleSt citizen. The census
man is no respecter of persons. A
working man and his family Counts as
much as that of the capitalist or mon
eyed aristocrat.
Two hundred and seventeen enumer-
ators had turned in their portfolios at
census Headquarters up to- 10 O'Clock
last night. The citizens committee is
busy receiving cards containing names
of persons missed by enumerators.
There were great many callers at the
headquarters of the citizens committee
in the council chamber yesterday and
last night. 1t has been asceftained that
agreat many persons have been missed
by enumerators who have turned i'll
their reports.
One enumerator said last night: II
had tough time in my district in get
ting the information. The people are
of many nationalities, and in many in
stances | could not find any one who
could speak English. could get along
with those who spoke German, but |
| had to make signs and hunt up inter-
prefers for others. Here is a partial
list of the different nationalities in my
| district: Two hundred and two Swedes,
| AZ Americans, % PolanderS, SO Ger
mans, 20 Danes, 20 Norwegians, 10 Irish.
| French, Finlanders, Canadian,
| Bohemian and Nova Scotian. There
were besides number of mixed fami-
