THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN.
What County Clerk Rhoads Says Of
the New Register.
Some Further Changes Made in EIec-
tion Ohicers-Couuty Meet
ings in Progress.

County Clerk Rhoads was in unusually
good humor yesterday. 81 am glad the
registration is over" he said to REC
oRD-UNIoN reporter, ''for it was quite
strain on me and my force of deputies.
For time it looked as though could not
get through with the work, owing to the
disposition of the Supervisors to give me
less deputies for the work than any pre-
vious County Clerk ever had. But the
board soon saw that serious complications
might result if 1 was not permitted to
complete the work, and allowed me the
necessary assistance for the occasion.
II consider that the register just COM
pleted is the most comprehensive and
complete. and contains less errors or ille-
gal registrations than any ever before
compiled in Sacramento County. My
reason for so thinking is that L had un
usually bright and intelligent clerks to
assist me, and men who thoroughly un-
derstand the requirements of the new
election law. Many applicants were re-
fused lstraton-hundreds of them
because they were not up to the require
ments. Under the old law, or under a
less vigilant system than l adopted, they
might have gotten in. The Citizens AS
sOciation had watchers there, and they
will tell you that every registration was
perfectly legal and legitimate. 1 defy
anybody to pick out suffers on that
roll, or persons who did not ill all the re-
Quirements. 1t was an unusually heavy
registration, too, which shows that great
interest is being taken in the coming
election

SHoRT-sIGHTED COMMITTEES.
A number of residents of the country
complain that the committees managing
the campaign of the respective parties do
not keep the country people informed as
TO their meetings. One farmer writes that
he takes all the city papers ana has been
unable to find any announcements of
country meetings advertised in their
columns.
He says he lives on his farm, and, like
hundreds of other, does not go to the
villages where meeting notices are posted,
and therefore never knows of a meeting
until he reads subsequent reports of it.
Ihis is the first campaign in which the
local party managers have failed TO keep
country voters apprised of the move
ments of their speakers.
AT ELK GROVE.
The various Republican candidates for
county offices went to Elk Grove last
evening, where a big meeting was held
and all made speeches.
