Which Should Save Many Voters
From Being DISTINGUISHED.
The stupidity and perverseness of
some of the judges in requiring voters
to personally procure certificates of re-
moval from one precinct to another
instead of filing an affidavit by which
a certificate could be procured in ac-
cOrdance with the city attorneys i'll
structionS resulted last Tuesday in
many persons being unable to register.
On next Tuesday the law will be ham,
mered into these numbSkullS of Judges.
and if they still persist in disfranchis-
ing voters they will be held to the law.
The city attorney has hit upon plan
to obviate portion of the difficulty. 1t
is to have all the Judges assemble at the
council chamber Friday night, when
affidavtS of removal can be exchanged
and the certificates given. The follow
ing is the notice to Judges sent out:
To All the Judges of-the Voting Districts Of
the City of Minneapolis: To the end that all
legal voters or said city may tie registered,
you are hereby respectfully requested and
urged to meet at the council rooms of the
city council in the city of Minneapolis, Mimi,
on Friday. the 9th day OF October, A. ID.
1890, at z 80 O'Clock on the evening of that
day. for the purpose of presenting the aft
davits OF removal and requests for registra-
| ton and crasure of names from register
