men tonight, an ordinance will be pass
ed locating the polling places in each
or the ia precincts in the city There
will be but few changes in the polling
places from last springs election and
no changes in the boundaries of the
precincts.
The law provides that the commit
tees OF the several political parties shall
file the lists Of persons for judges Of
election thirty days before election day
with the city clerk. This gives the
committees until Saturday to file the
lists and necessitates the holding of
special meetings of the aldermen and
assembly next week to designate the
names of the judges.
According to the opinion Of the attor-
ney general, backed up by that of Cor
poration Attorney Markham, the Re-
publIcanS, DemOcrat-People's and Pro-
nj bitiOn parties are each entitled to
name one Of the trio Of election Judges

ed two judges in each precinct, and in
some of the districts all three To do
this the names of Republicans were
placed or the Prohibition lists and this

fng, City Engineer Rundlett will COM
mence the work of putting up the
booths where they are needed.

of his constituents.
Aid. Matthew Bantz followed with stirring
talk. He said that with two weeks active
work the Democratic organization in the
Eighth ward should be as strong and as

luton raising the wages of the street clean
