RIVERSIDE VOTERS
MUST CORRECT THEIR MISTAKES
BY NEXT TUESDAY
An Angeleno's Sudden Death-Ver-
mason Nominated for Public
Administrator

RIVERSIDE, Oct. Tt has just been
discovered that much Of the work of new
registration. in this county will have to be
gone over with again. The reason for this
Is that the county clerk received simple let
ter requests from voters In country dis
tricts to transfer them from one precinct
TO another instead of requiring an affidavit
as provided by law. 1t was an unwilling
mistake on the part of Clerk Condee, who
as soon as he found out that he had net
complied with the letter Of the law at once
sent out the necessary papers and instruc-
tons to deputy registration clerks in the
country precincts to see all the men whose
names had been transferred and have them
make the necessary affidavit as soon as
possible, for the whole business must be
corrected on. or before the 1lth day of this
month, IL the transferred voters care to
exercise their right of franchise the COM
ing election. The party managers of both
the Republican and fusion parties lost no
time In dispatching agents. to all voters of
their respective persuasion to see that the
latter did not neglect the importan. matter
or forwarding the affidavit. Something
like fifty votes are affected by the mistake
but nearly all Of them will be made good
before the time limit expires.
