Mr.. Pierce Butler made a capital

to discuss the details of the campaign.
He believed that absolute frankness

that any number Of people could play

Over in Tim Sheehans district too,
there Is dOuble-end scrap in progress.
A month ago the organ of the gang

torially declared that Hitler Horton
must be nominated, as he was just the
man to represent Ramsey county on
the Judiciary committee, adding that,
II layman were chosen from Shee-
hans district, there would be no law

1t Is easy to recall the bitterness which
sprung from Sheehan's defeat by Hi
ram Stevens for membership on that
committee four years ago next win

proclaiming their intention to see that
this Judiciary committee scheme has
been worked once too often, and that
rather than that 1t shall be allowed
to go as the Dispatch wants it to go,
there Will be '1ayman" elected, as
the Dispatch suggested, from that dis

ALI IN A TANGLE.
The Law In Regard to Voters Who
Remove Before Election.

Attorney General Childs, or the leg
islature that drew the election law, has
made a merry tangle out of the re-
moval business. Attorney General
Childs has ruled that one who moves
into another precinct within thirty
days previous to the election may not
vote either in his former or latter
home. The constitution says this, or
seems to, although some there are who
raise the point that an election dis
trict, within the purView of the con-
stitution, Is not q precinct necessarily,
but one of the subdivisions from which
q representative is chosen. Thus, one
ward, where aldermen are voted for,
or one legislative district, are cited by
these as instances Of legislative dis
tricts.
The election law, however, uses the
term election district very plain
ly with application to each pre-
election district shall comprise,
when it is first defined, more than 400
voters at the last preceding election.
Besides, the election law says one
may vote who has lived in a precinct
ten days, which is clearly in contra
vention of the constitution, and there
you are. There isn't as much danger
of trouble over it now as there Is at
spring elections, which come soon after
moving time" but 1t is likely that
legislation will be attempted this win
ter to straighten out the tangled web.

MEETING IN THE EIGHTH

Was Well Attended and a Good Deal
of Enthusiasm Shown.
eff I staid on the Pop ticket people would
have said that I was being compensated for
1t, and that would be a stigma ON my honor
that 1 could not afford" said James Ccrmican
in the midst of grafton delivered last even
ing at Plebusch's hall. Mr. Cormican was
not an invited guest. He got into the hall
in the middle of the meeting and he voIun-
teered a few remarks. He rose to the empy-
rean in his oratorieal flights and he invited
cheers and abuse indiscrimnately. And in
his zeal for the ticket that he was supporting
he told how glad he was that he was not on
the PopuliSt ticket, and also made some re-
marks about people who had not had suit
Of clothes IN several years and spent all their
time hanging about the court house. who had
become men of fashion and independent can
didates at the same time. Mr.. Cormican was
particularly anxious that all his Popultst
friends should support Mr.. Meade for clerk
Of the courts, and he feared that he had come
very near doing Mr.. Meade an injustice by
taking the Populist nomination. He was even
thankful that fit of sickness had prevented
him from taking his place on the official bal
lot.
Prior to the arrival of Cormican the nseet
ing had been conducted as a. business meet
ing CT Democrats. There were O. number Of
prominent Democrats present and they had
given their advice as to what should be done
register.
Albert Hanft presided and Peter Metzdorf
was secretary. E. J. Bishop spoke first Of
the necessity for complete registration and
pointed to the absolute need for this as a
condition precedent to the election Of the
entire Democratic ticket. If that were pro-
vided for success at the polls was assured.
He said that 1t might be in the power of the
upper portion of the Eighth ward to elect
F. H. Ellerbe to the senate, and that was a
thing most to be desired.
T. D. O'Brien made several suggestions
along the same line, and said that it was al
ready evident that the vote had not been
registered. II the precinct committeeman
would get together and provide for gettin g
the vote on the registration list the rest
would be easy. He spoke from experience,
and instanced several bygone elections He
had no doubt Of the election of Lind, but
the entire ticket should go along with the
governor, and this district should make pro-
vision for the election Of Judge Willis to
congress.
Chairman Henft. J. A. NOVEL;, George UNI
land. the candidate for the house in the dis
trict; William Platte, T. J. McDermott, D. F.
PEBBLES, William Brown and others had
something to say along the same line before
the arrival Of Mr.. Cormican stirred things up.
John B. Irvine, Victor Gilman and Humphrey
Barton made brief speeches.
All Of the speakers impressed on those
present the necessity for a full meeting of
the precinct committeeman of the ward at
Brandls hall, Friday evening. The meeting
was large and enthusiastic to a degree.

ABOUT THE REGISTRATION.
An Analysis Shows That 1t Must he
Considered Fair.

An Analysis Shows That 1t Must he
Considered Fair.
81 consider the registration for the
two days upon which voters have regis,
tered themselves perfectly satisfactory
from any political point Of view" said
a man who had to do with the election
of two years ago, but who is not active
now. The registration so far COM
pares very favOrably with that of the
spring, and that is as well as we can
expect to do. I believe it is slightly in
advance of the spring registration fol-
the two days Well, I want to tell you
that there was no lack Of interest last
spring, but there was some lack in
both parties Of the wherewithal to pay
for the actual work Of getting the vote
out.
cit may be news to you, but It Is a
fact that it cost the Republicans sew
eral thousand dollars to register the
vote two years ago. In every precinct
there We're a number Of men and teams
at work OF all the days Of registration,
and as much attention was paid to IT
as IL uzIaIy paid to the election itself
The registration and the vote was
aDnomally large. The people ranged
on the two sides Of the question were
attacked in the prejudices or their CON-
victions and they were ready enough
to look to it that they might be per.
mitted to vote Don't look for any
thing ike that vote.
Another thing that is shown in the
analysis Of the registration so far is
the fec. that there are a great many
fcrete BORN people here who have not
yet been naturalized. In the precincts
where he foreign-born vote is largest
the losses in registration are most
numerous. In the big Scandinavian
precincts Of the First ward this Is very
nouceable. Under the new constitu,
tiOnal provision we have yerv rnanv
less voters and with a lack of e,re9t
party issues there is no chance Of ST
Paul Improving much on the vote OF
