The Registration Office Will Be

Without Its Sanction.

At A meeting OF the Board OF Election Com
mIssioners held yesterday morning the Peoples

Nell, asked that the privileges granted the
Republican and Democratic parties in the MAJ
ter of representation on the precinct aud eec-
tion boards, might be extended 10 that
party. cory of the assessment Ioll was
also asked for. In order that the POpuists
might have an opportunity TO make proper
selection of election officers. The Commission
ers appeared TO entertain the idea that the re-
quest could not be granted, inaSmuch as the
law provides that the election and precinct
boards shall be composed OF the two parties
polling the highest vote at the last general elec-
tion.
1t was also urged that If The request be
granted il would establish an Objectionable pre-
cedent and encourage other political parties 10
apply for similar accommodation and repre-
senlatlon lie matter was therefore taken I'M

Registrar Evans Informed the board that it
WAS the desire of a large number of voters that
the registration bureau be Kept open Saturday
nights between the hours of 8 and 8 O'Clock.
On behalf Of tue Democratic party A. j. Clunie
registered decided objection, and claimed tile
law would be violated If the Office were kept
open Tor business after the hours named in The
statute.
L. j. L. Smiley gave II as his opinion thai the
plan was not only lawful but would be OF great
benefit 10 a large number of voters who could
not possibly register their names during the
usual business hours.
Registrar Evans announced that lie Intended
keeping the Office open Saturday nights after

the matter, but lie was also anxious 10 obtain
the boards sanction TO have the fact advertised
together with the regular registration notices.
Mayor EllerG favored The proposition as
matter OF public convenience. but Auditor
3roderick objected strongly on the ground that
it would necesState useless expense ana would

would be at liberty 10 keep the office omen on
