The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-10-09

The work Of registering the voting
population of Utah will begin today.
This is the first day Cor registering pro-
vided for by the law and at O'Clock
this morning the work is supposed to
begin in every voting district o. the
state. The registry offices are to be
kept open from o'clock in the morning
until o'clock at night, and between
those hours it is expected that every
voter viii call at the Office OF the reg
istrar of his district on the days set
aDart and have his name placed on the
lis
In Salt Lake county a copy of the
election Jaw, the required lists and all
the necessary blanks have been sent
TO each registering officer and also
sheet Of instructions telling each officer
just how to proceed with the work.
To supplement these printed instruc
lions a meeting of all the registrars of
the county was called to meet last
evening in Judge Hiles' court room in
the joint building for the purpose of
receiving special instructions in regard
TO the work. The registration this year
is entirely new and when the books are
opened this morning there will not be
q name upon them. Every voter must
be registered anew, and if he does not
get registered himself he will lose his
vote. This is what makes the matter
Of unusual Importance this year.
Meeting Of Registrars.
At the meeting last evening there
were present almost every registrar for
the city and a number of those from
the country districts. Deputy County
Clerk George Z. Blair laid the matter
before those assembled and in a clear
and cOgent manner explained the law
with reference to the registering of the
voters and the manner in which the
work was TO be done. At the close Of
his remarks he invited any who wished
to do so to ask him questions. This
the registrars were not slow to do and
for an hour the questions came rolling
in thick and fast.
Among the points raised was one as
to the pay of the registrars and Mr.
Blair gave 1t as his opinion that each
officer would be paid for his services
at the rate of So for eight hours work,
and as they were required to keep their
offices open for thirteen hours each
registration day, they would be paid
for a day and & half's work. He will
recommend this to the commissioners
Right to Vote
The point was raised as to whether
q person who becomes of age on the day
before the election, or Nov. 5, or any
day between this and election day
should be allowed to register. 1t was
decided that he should be permitted to
register and would have perfect right
To DO so.
1t was decided that If the registrar
were rushed he would be permitted tC
hire help at his own expense, but that
he must administer the oath in each
case himself. L was also decided thaI
the registrar could not go to the home
of a sick person and register him there
The rule as to registering is the same
as that as to voting in this respect.
In regard to those who move, It was
decided that if a voter moved from one
precinct to another within sixty days
from election day he would lose his
vote and was not eligible to be regis
tered; but if he simply moved from one
districts to another in the same pre-
cinct he did not lose his vote and
should be registered 1t was lively
meeting and all present took a deer
interest in the work TO be done. The
list of registrars and the places of reg
istration in this county are as follows
