eral Strong IN answer to certain ques-

ton law passed by the lat legislative
assembly. The opinion is here given in

Guthrie 0. T., Oct Is, 1900
Hon. Freeman z. Miller, Stillfater. O. T.
Dear Sir:-Yours of the fifteenth inst
propounding certain questions to this Of
fee is received. In reply permit me to
say that the egistration law, which pro
vides that electors in cities Of the first
class must register before each general
election, as well as before annual cleo
tons, was not repealed by the enact
ment of the election law of 1899, but is
still in full force and effect
desire to say in addition to this upon
this subject that it is my opinion that
the electors must register berora each
general election and that having regis
tered before the spring election. at
which city officers were elected. is insur-
fcient oenable them to vote at the
Considering the election law of 1899 as
general election in the fall
it stands, with its imperative provisions
as well as its operative one. I am Of the
opinion that the provisions in relation
/ to polling one per cent Of the total vote
cast at the election IF 1898 is imperative
| for the reason that there is no way TO
/ ascertain what parties cast one per cent
OF the total vote at the territorial cleo
/ ton of 1898. except that of the Republican
/ party and of the party which nominated
/ Hankins. And that as the law must be
/ construed, any political party which
! meets in convention and dominates a
/ candidate for an office to be voted for
/ st the general election Of the territory
( whose nomination is properly certified
and filed with the proper election beard.
/ Is entitled to have the name Of its candI-
/ date so upon the ballot to be voted for
under the device selected BY the SAID
/ party as its mark Of Identification. ana
that any peson whose name is properly
/ peCtiored for a sa candidate. whose De-
tton is properly Acknowledged and fled
! with the proper board Of election COM
missione-s. is also entitled 20 have his
name placed upon the ticket under ne
J device selected by said petitioners TO rep,
resent their ticket
I also hold that these propositions are
true even though two or more distinct
political parties may nominate the vane
person rs their candidate. and Il they do.
the name OF said candidate should q
upon the ballot as many times as he has
received nominations, and each time IN
der the poper device selected by the
party nominating him
