Scores of voters in Butte are claiming
that they have been unable to register
and will be shut out from casting a
vote this spring simply because they
could not afford to spare time enough
to stand in line an hour in order to get
registered. According to the present
arrangement, 1t is undoubtedly a hard
ship for man to vote in the city of
Butte, because he not only has to lose
little time in which to vote but he has
to lose great deal more in which to
get registered. A number of Main street
business men have stated that they
went to the registry Office half dozen
times in order to get registered, but
found long line of men ahead of them
and concluded they could not afford to
wait so long. over in Helena, a city
with half the number of voters Butte
has, there is registry office in every
ward of the city. But in Butte every
body has to register in one place and
hundreds who have not the patience to
stand in line are shut out. No change
In this arrangement of things can be
made this year of course, but 1t is pos
sible to make a change for future years

encouraging men to vote, not with the
Idea of preventing as many men as pos
