Why Not Have Registration Clerks In

News Notes.

The HERALD has heretofore called at
tention TO the reckless and defective
manner in which the registration is be-
ing taken, under the auspices of the
present Republican County Clerk Ward.
Complaints have been and are still pour
ing into the Office about the way the
registration is being taken, and about
the vast field and opportunity for fraud
which it has opened.
The country people are kicking vigor-
ously about the way they have been
treated in the matter of regis tration.
The complaint is made that the country
voters have been provided with made
Quate facilities whereby they can
register, and in almost all sections it is
asserted that no facilities exist what
ever. The result of this is that many
who are too busy to come to the city
will be'deprived of registration. 1t has
been suggested that it would be good
idea, in the country districts, to have a
registration Office opened up in every
postoffice. Then, when party came in
10 get his mail, he could be registered.
Unless something like this is done, hun
dreds. OF voters will be deprived of their
suffrage. 1t is fair to assume that there
are some country people who are not
aware that it is necessary for them to
register this year in order to vote. They
should be apprised and given the oppor-
tunity to have their names enrolled.
All that is wanted, asked or desired is
that the county clerk do his full duty in
the matter.
THE PR0HIBITToNIsTs.
The county. convention of the Prohibi-
ton party meets today to nominate it's
county ticket in Temperance temple.
The probabilities are that it will nomi-
nate a straight ticket, though there is
talk of endorsing several candidates on
the Peoples party ticket who are Pro-
hibi,ionists. Tomorrow evening Col.
Elf. Ritter Of Indianapolis will speak
at Illinois hall.
HOLDING TWO GOOD JOBS.
Captain Tyler is one of the deputies of
the county clerks Office, and he seems to
have an extraordinarily strong pull
with the Republican bosses in this city
just now. He has pole long enough
to reach another position, to wit: that
of head janitor of the magnificent, awe
inepiring pile at the corner of Main and
Winston streets, known as the Federal
building. The captain may be good
and efficient man, but that is no reason
why he should cover two offices at one
and the same time. It is understood
that the colored contingent of the Re.
publican party is making some very
strong protests against this. They
think that the position of head janitor
should go to a negro, and are vowing
vengeance on the bosses for giving it to
q man who has another job.
NOTES.

evening, at which some private exec
utive business was transacted. The

for the Republican nomination for

ing some yeoman service for him.

cratic state committee meets in this city

Reports from San Bernardino county
are to the effect that Republican dis
satisfaction is very great there, and that
the party is badly divided and split up
The Democrats are taking advantage of
the dissension and will present strong
ront to the enemy, this fall.
Thus far no candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination in the Seventh dis
trict against Judge Welborn, of San
Diego, has been announced. The dis
trict convention Daeets shortly at Santa
Ana.
