NAMES MUST BE ON THE REGISTER.

Total. 25, 800
NAMES MUST BE ON THE REGISTER.
The following opinion was received at
the headquarters of both parties yester-
day. The report has been adopted by
both central committees and will decide
much discussed question:
GENTLEMEN: At the request of your
respective committees, we have ex-
amined the provisions of the Australian
ballot law, as enacted by the last legis-
lature, to determine the right of an
elector whose name does not appear on
the printed copies of the great register
to vote at the coming election. We
have been unable to find any provision
authorizing the use of certificates of the
county clerk to show that the voter
whose name does not appear on the
printed copies has been registered on the
great register in the Office of the county
clerk. On the contrary, in our opinion,
the statute in several provisions re-
quires that the name OF every voter en-
titled to vote shall appear on the printed
copies of the great register in use at the
polls.
See sections 1888, 1117, 1904, 1905 and
1925 to 1928 inclusive.
This we believe to be the plain re-
quirement OF the statute, but as to it's
constitutionality we have not thought
1t to be our province to express any
opinion, and therefore refrain from
doing so. Respectfully,
(Signed.) BRADNER w. LEE,
On behalf OF the Republican committee.
(Signed) A. W. Hutton,
On behalf OF the Democratic committee.
To the Various Bosrds of Election officers In
Los Angeles County:
In view of the foregoing opinion we
respectfully advise that the votes of
electors be not received unless the name
OF the voters shall appear upon the
printed copies of the great register in
use at the polls.
(Signed,) CHARLES SILENT,
Chairman of Republican County Central
Committee.
(Signed.) CT. A. LAST,
Chairman of Democratic County Central
Committee.
MR.. RAMlsH ALL RIGHT.
Yesterdays issue OF the Times con-
tanned baseless inuendo against Mr..
A. Ramish, in connection with the reg
istration of Samuel John Murphy. who
it is claimed was illegally put on the list
with the connivance of Mr.. Ramish.
That gentleman yesterday said to a
HERALD reporter: "When I registered
Mr.. Murphy there were two gentlemen
present who will both corroborate in
every detail my statement. Mr.. Muir
ply had the oath properly ad-
ministered to him, and he signed
his own name to the affidavit. He
was not positive as to the name of the
hotel where his residence was, but de-
scribed it as the hotel on the corner of
Requena and Main. He was asked
DO you mean the United States hotel? p
and he answered: yes, that's it, There
was nothing crooked about the affair, as
far as any one could tell. He answered
all the questions promptly and took the
oath, and that is all there is of it. This
talk is nothing more than a political
trick on the part of the Republicans"
bv A LONG BEACH MEETING.
LONG BEACH, Nov. Ut has been
stated by the enemies of Mr.. Dillon
that he unpopular in this vicinity.
This statement was refuted beyond all
Gated by his neghbors and friends here
made byspolitical libelers.
The crowd that assembled in the
Tabernacle tonight to listen to the ad-
dress of the Democratic and Peoples par
ty nominee for district attorney was the
largest and most enthusiastic political
gathering that has ever been held here.
That Mr.. Dillon had completely vindi-
Gated himself from all charges was uni
versally the verdict. The main part of
his talk was in answer to Mr.. McLach-
lin's latest publication in the press.
The speaker handled Mr.. McLachlin
severely, and showed conclusively that
the gentleman had been guilty of nu-
merous Misrepresentation. The issues,
both local and national, of the campaign
were ably treated. The speaker brought
forth number OF new arguments, and
illustrated concisely how California
would be benefited by the election of
Mr.. Harrison's opponent.
NOTES.
The speech made by John w. Mitch
ell at the Democratic maseI meeting on
Saturday evening has been generally
commented upon favorably by citizens
regardless OF party. 1t was a powerful
arraignment of Republican misrule.
There are some voters who think the
numbers on the alleged sample" bal
lot given out by the court house ring
will specify the same candidates on the
regular ticket as they do on the "sam-
ple." This is mistake. The numbers
will indicate some other candidate.
Put your X opposite the name you wish
to vote for and ignore the numbers.
The Second Ward Democratic club
held very large and enthusiastic meet
ing last evening at their hall,
No. 6S1 Upper Main street. After
the usual routine business, the
club was ably addressed by several
well-known Democratic speakers, includ-
ing Hon. G.. G. Brown, A. j. Monroy,
M. Marquee and J. s. Redona, who de-
livered very effective and well-timed
address on the qualifications and fitness
Of the various Democratic candidates,
from the top to the bottom of the
ticket.
