TO PREVENT FRAUD.
Plan For P urifying RopuAlican Primar-
ies Completed and Adopted.

Plan For urffying RepuAIican PPimar-
ies Completed and Adopted.
The Republican city central committee
held a meeting Saturday evening and
adopted plan which will be used in the
Republican city primaries hereafter and
is designed to prevent fraud of all kinds
The plan provides for a special regis
tration of Republican voters and the
books are to be open for that purpose on
Saturday in every week from o'clock in
the morning until 8 o'clock in the
evening and upon one other evening. The
books are to be closed ten days before
the election is held and are TO be
open for inspection by any Republi-
can. The registration Of women and
mon is to be made in separate books.
The person in charge of the books is
to receive not more than 81 per day nor
more than So per week The executive
committees of the county and city CEN
tral committees are to appoint one per-
son in each voting precinct, who is to be
known as assistant superintendent of reg
istration. He is to make careful canvass
of his precinct and secure the names of all
Republican voters and issue a certificate
to the voter and return the stub to the
person in charge of the registration. The
person in charge of the registration is to
enter the names on the stubs in his
books.
These assistants are to receive no
compensation, but are to do their work
for glory and the good Uf the party. No
one is to be allowed to vote who Is not
registered. The plan provides that an
appeal may be taken to the city central
committee in cases where voters are re-
fused registration.

WHAT THE STUDENTS SAY.
They Want the Investigation of Regent
Rogers to Go On.

They Want the Investigation of Regent
Rogers Go On.
LAWRENCE, April 15.-The university
Republican club, an organization COM
posed of the Republican students of the
university, determined to counteract the
influence of the faculty in endorsing
Regent Rogers, and at recent meeting
adopted the following resolutions as ex-
pressing the sense of the body of Repub-
lican students attending the university:
Whereas, 1t has been charged against
William Rogers, a regent of the univer-
sity of Kansas, that he is guilty of hav-
ing been intoxicated and disorderly, and
also of using obscene and indecent Ian
guage in the presence of ladies, and
Whereas, We, the members of the
Kansas University Republican club, be-
lieve such conduct on the part OF one oc-
cupying so responsible position as re-
gent of great university to be an Of
tense against good morals and bad ex-
ample to the students of the Kansas State
university; be it
Resolved, That we do endorse the in
vestigation now pending of Senator
Rogers. believing as we do that the truth
can hurt no one and that if Senator
Rogers be innocent thorough
investigation will clear him of all sus
picion. and that if he is guilty
of indiscretinn as charged it is due the
university and the state at large that the
facts be made known and Senator Rogers
be relieved of the office of regent Be il
further
Resolved, That we do most heartily en-.
dorse the action of Hon. Cyrus Leland in
bringing about this investigation as con
ducive to the good morals of the state
and believe that in SO doing he has shown
himself a true friend of the university.

BRAzENs IT OUT.
Major E. n. Morrill,, Nullifier of the Law.
of Kansas. InteryieWed.

In an interview today Governor Morrill,
said he would stand by his original inter-
view on prohibition. He said that he
considered himself as good friend of
the prohibitory law as Mr.. Pickering or
anyone else, and that he was willing
to go in with Mr.. Pickering
or any one else for the enforcement of
the prohibitory law in communities
where public sentiment favors the law,
but that it is useless to talk about en-
forcing the law in counties where juries
will not convict under the strongest
kind of evidence.
The governor said he thought himself
a more practical Prohibitionist than Mr.
Pickering and said his position is en-
dorsed by many of the most prominent
men in the state who are teetotallers and
therefore the best kind of Prohibition
lists

cessful.
The state executive council held ses-
sion this forenoon which lasted from to
II O'Clock in which an effort was made TO
agree on some plan of procedure to ''get
rid of Mr.. I. H Lescher, who has just
been made state architect by the state
board of public works.
The members of the council could not
agree on man they would rather have
than Mr.. Lescher, and the council ad-
journed for two weeks
Chairman Cyrus Leland of the state
central committee is urging that Mr.
Lescher be bounced, and Sol Miller has
refused to make the election of Lescher
by the public works board unanimous,
and will not cast his vote for him.
Ar. Lescher is the state architect,
however. and is backed by Captain John
Seaton and Mike Heery, a majority of
the members of the board, who elected
him.

REFLECT THEM BOTH!

The Democrats of the Third and
Fourth precinct have done we'll in
nominating for reelection the incum-
bents on the Board of Education from
those precincts. We believe the gem
tlemen have served the public salts
factorily with credit to themselves
and with honor to the precincts
which placed them in the responsible
position which they occupy
Mr.. Hansen has been an active and
dihgent member of the board and has
been devoted to the interest of the
schools. His continued service will
be valuable to that body and to the
cause of education in this city. Mr.
Toronto has been SO long associated
with scholastic affairs that he has be-
come thoroughly identified with educa-
tional progress, and particularly with
the recognition of home talent which
it is desirable to bring into active use
in the schools. A thoroughly educated
man, a practical preceptor his proper
place is on the Board Of Education.
We do not hear of any charge of par
tisanship, or incompetency, or neglect
of duty on the part of either of these
gentlemen. We hope they will be
reelected. There is no good reason
why they should not again receive
the support of the citizens of their re-
spective precincts. The attempts to
change the political complexion of the
school board, by the nomination of
Republicans for those two precincts
especially, are proof positive of the
partisan character of the movement
for the change. The people of the
Third and Fourth ought to show their
resentment against the scheme, by
polling an overwhelming vote in favor
of the two incumbents. They will thus
show, in the most practical manner
possible that they are opposed to the
introduction of partisanship in the
school system of Salt Lake City.
