REGISTRATION INFORMATION.
Legal Opinion On When Transfers
Are Required and When Not.

Legal Opinion On When Transfers
Are Required and When Not.
For the information and guidance of
registration agents in the work next
Tuesday, City Recorder Backman has
obtained, through the county clerk, the
following opinion from County Attor-
ney Putnam on the laws provisions
as TO when transfer certificates for vot-
ers are required, ana when not required
as a prerequisite to registration, and
transmitted a copy Of the same to reg
istration agents:
Answering your request of this date
for an opinion with reference to
whether qualified electors moving from
one precinct or municipal ward to an
other must produce certificates Of
q. transfer from the registration officer in
the district where they were formerly
registered, in order to entitle them to be
registered in the new election district
into which thy have moved, we are
clearly of the opinion that no such Ger
tificate Of transfer is required. When
voter removes from one precinct or
municipal ward to another he is in the
same position as if he had moved from
outside the county or the state. If he
can take the oath required by law he is
entitled to be registered, irrespective
OF any previous registration. The GER
tificateS of transfer contemplated by
section SD OF the revised statutes ap-
ply only 10 cases Of removals from one
district TO another within the same
precinct or municipal ward
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-10-29

1t was given out yesterday from Re
publican sources that Ezra Thompson,
the storm Bureau candidate for mayor,
had been persuaded to sign a statement
: declaring that if elected he would not
appoint Arthur Pratt chief of police.
1t was further stated that Arthur Pratt
had also attached his signature TO an
announcement that he would not ac-
cept the appointment should 1t be ten
dered. and the understanding was that
these cards were to be published by the
Storm Bureau organ, probably this
morning.
This effort to hoodwink the public is
taken as an indication that the man
ayers of the Hanna campaign realize
that Arthur Prattis unpopularity will
defeat any remote chance that the
coloneI's candidate might have had for
success. 1t viii also serve to recall a
similar bunco game that was success
fully played on the voters just two
years ago. During the non-partisan
campaign, it win be remembered, this
same demonstrating organ, being con-
WINGED chat Pratt's unpopularity
threatened the interests of John Clark,
published what purported to be a state
ment from Mr.. Clark. to the effect that
he had no intention of appointing Pratt
chief of police The public has not for
gotten that one OF Mayor Clark's first
official acts was the appointment of
Pratt. With the memory of this con-
fidence game fresh upon their minds,
it is not believed that the voters will
be fooled this year by the same sort of
a trick.
Any such statements from Thomp-
son and Pratt would be further dis
credited by Colonel Lannan's declara-
ton to a well known citizen OF this city
as follows:
"The Cd d-n fools of Democrats
haven't got sense enough to know when
they have got a good man for chief of
police hut by Cd we will elect q. man
this fall who will nut, Arthur Pratt
back if it costs $50, 900 to 90 So
AS it has stated before, The Herald
is prepared to prove that Colonel Lam
nam made the above statement, and will
do 50 when the colonel makes a square
denial. Close observers of campaign
conditions believe that the $4,000 is
being spent.

STEAM IN FITS BLOWS YET

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Jeff Thorne of Eng

very much afraid of Fitzsimmons did not

light attempt to lead with his left, the
blow falling short by several Sahes.
The blow delivered by Fttzssmmons was
a short left jolt, which did not pass
through six inches of space before land

counted out, F'ttzstmmons picked him UP
bodily and carried him to his corner,
placing him on q chair. which Sam F1tz-

Thorne's victory. had placed hurriedgy ON

Malachi Hogan the referee, bent close

dead man. After turning over on his
face he neither moved nor seemed to
breathe, so completely knocked out was
he.
Thorne, after being carried to his
corner, was surrounded by group of
friends who labored anxiousiy to bring
him TO. He was drenchad repeatedly
with cold water, Fitzsimmons in the
meantime standing by, anxiously doing
what he could for the vanquiShed man.
Thorne was held in his chair by sam

FRANK STEPHENS TALKS.
Advocates the Election of the Entire
Ticket.


Frank B. Stephens was then intro
duced by Chairman Moyle as one of the
patriots who abandoned his party be-
cause it abandoned bimetallism.
1.-The question that confronts us to-
day" said Mr.. Stephens, sis, shall we
elect a Democrat or a Republican adj
ministration? We believe the Demo-
cratic party can give us as good an ad-
ministration as the Republican. We
have evidence that it can give better.
We know what each party has done.
Let me cite you to the administration
of Glendinning two years ago. Was it
not such that the leaders of the Repub-
lican party petitioned you to vote for
a Democratic mayor?
They did it under a non-partisan
guise, but it was nevertheless an appeal
to you to lift them from a lurch. You
did So And you elected a majority of
the Democratic councilmen. What first
confronted them was a proposition to
undo the wrongs of the Republican adj
ministration. They found man on the
nay roll drawing $40 a month in the
month of December to see that we
didn't sprinkle overtime Nights and
mornings.
"They would have done so all winter
had they been reelected. This is but
one of many instances where public
money has been squandered by them.
They all could be cited if time allowed.
AS to Water.
There has been great deal of talk
about water" continued Mr.. Stephens.
"I want you to remember that the
Democratic party didn't put in those
waterworks. and the pictures shown in
the daily press were taken before the
Democrats had time TO clean UP the
work of their predecessors.
The speaker referred to the savings
in the various departments of the city
government accomplished by the Demo-
cratic party, and told why he left the
Republican party. His parents We're
Republicans. he said, and he grew UP
to be a member of that party The first
time he voted, it was for a Democratic
president, nevertheless, for he learned
that the party of Abraham Lincoln was
not the party of Abraham Lincoln in
1876.
"In 1885, he declared. "the party left
me: I did not leave the party, and
were the Democratic party to desert its
principles it would leave me, too"
In closing Mr.. Stephens made mention
of the conditions brought on by the de-
menetization of silver, and said the files
of the Tribune would show that poor
conditions were conceded to be from
this cause.
Chairman Moyle announced that
Hon Moses Thatcher. who was to have
addressed the meeting, had been unex-
pectedly called to Franklin, Ida.

tie, Ezra, was sung. Then Chairman
Moyle took the floor to introduce Judge
o. w. Powers. Before proceeding with
his pleasant duty. however. Mr.. Moyle
referred TO the disturbances created by
the hoodlums during his speech.
L do not believe" he said. that the
Republican managers are low enough
and vile enough TO employ the hood
lums who are here. 1 hope that the
good citizens who are near them Will
point them out in order that if they
continue their conduct they may be ar
rested and elected from the building.
For myself l ask no quarter, but l shall
see to it that the speakers who are to
succeed me are given respectful atten-
ton
A roar of applause went up when Mr..
Moyle finished this part of his remarks.
1t would have gone i'll with any heeler
who attempted any disturbance, and
the rest of the meeting was as orderly
as could have been desired. Mr.. Moyle
spoke briefly of the great pleasure 1t
gave him to introduce Judge Powers,
to whom he referred as one of the
ablest of Utah's Democratic leaders.

Both men are in as good condition as
it is possible to get them in for TINS

it is too late to supply a remedy. Jet-

well for him if it is short, and the
shorter the better. The champion had
