Made.
AND SMILEY IS SUPPRESSED.
LATE ONES WHO WANT TO VOTE.

The Election Commissioners were
larg ely occupied with holdover or be-
lated citizens whose names do not appear
upon the Great Register.
There we're a great variety of them and
they all wanted TO vote. Louis Sloss of
the Alaska Commercial Company was
present representing a number of sailors
who had arrived a little after midnight
Saturday from six months Of sailing the
northern seas. He thought they ought 10
be allo wed to register as their residence
was all right, and they had had no 0ppor-
tuntty TO get their names on the roll
within the time it was open. The law was
quoted AS specific, however, that the roll
closes fifteen DAYS before election, and the
sailors we're barred out.
Another was II Flood Juror who had
waited for the last days of registration
and was locked up those days-the past
three. The board denied him his right TO
register now unless the court should order
the commission to put his name on the
list.
Henry L. Barker of 1918 Union street
appeared to call the attention of the board
| TO Jacob Weiss of 300S Laguna street,
whom he thought was suffer. Barker
was a member of tho precinct board two
years ago when Weiss came to him to be
regi stored and that time said he was n0tnat
ural Zed nor was his father, but that he
had voted in Texas by right of having
fought in the Confederate army. He was
turned away that time.
Mr.. Barker, in looking over the register
found Weiss name Oh it this time by right
of his fathers naturalization, while he had
declared two years ago that his father
never was In this country. His affidavit
must be false, therefore, M. Barker
argued.
The board ordered that Weiss be cited
TO appear and asked Mr.. Barker also to be
on hand. Mr.. CreSwelI ast0nished that
gentleman with the statement that IL he
proved his allegations it was worth $500 to
him from the various rewards offered. de
said The commission would make an ex-
ample of MIR. Weiss.
j. L. l.. Smiley, who watches the pro-
ceeGings of he Commissioners on behalf
of the Republican committee, took occa-
sion TO refer TO the lack of consider eratOn,
as he termed it, paid to the list of nom
lnees made by that committee for the cleo
tion boards. He declared that Mayor e.
lert had agreed that the same considera-
ton should be paid to 1t as had been paid
to the list presented by the Democratic
committee. and he did not think that had
been done.
Mayor Elert said that he had said that
every list presented would be considered,
and that had been done. Mr. Smiley
would not question the right of the COM
mission to appoint the election officers,
would he?
Smiley would not go so far. but thought
that the Republicans had had the worst of
it both as 10 the appointment of precinct
registrars and of election officers and coll
tnued to reiterate the same until the
Mayor put stop TO it by saying that he
would not be allowed to criticlzs and cate
chise the board in such fashion any longer.
Then the irrepressible Registrar rose to
the occasion. remarking that it bad been
truthfully asserted that Democrats have
been appointed in the place of Repu ublicans
until some boards were wholly composed
of them. The same had been true of the
registration boards. He had seen one
member OF such DO ard actually e, ing into
the Baldwin Theater when he should have
been on ouIy.
Mr.. Creswell as usual came forward with
his soft words for the turning away of
wrath In tho appointment of so many
ofDcerS SOME flaws must creep In. it would
be wonder il they were all perfect.
1.-The wonder has heen accomplished in
the case of the Democracy" said Smiley,
delighted at the idea of making a point.
"Whew" exclaimed Creswell "lt is
clear you don't know much about the
Democracy. There has been but one long
kick in the NATTER
