Under the amendment to the state
constitution, which was passed by
three-fifths vote Of the people on Mo-
vember g. the time in which non-tax-
paying citizens can register is extend
ed 10 the 30th day of June. instead OF
closing on December 81, as heretofore.
This fact will undoubtedly cause
many persons TO wait until nearly the
expiration OF the time appointed, as
there has always been, and probably
always will be. "A number OF persons
who make a point of waiting until the
last week before they qualify.
There does not seem to be any reason
for this, for il Is a known fact that peo-
pie who are in and out of City Hall on
an average OF two and three times
week the year round, DO not register
-ssfftH- the Hast -ffaffatftt.,-FaiiA -reFy-fre-
quently are put 10 a great deal OF in
convenience by having to stand In line.
ARE THEY QUALIFIED?
Under the amendment while the time
has been extended until the end OF
June, IL should be borne in mind that
the opinion OF the supreme court, in an
swer 70 questions submitted by Gov.
Gregory, leaves IL I'd the general as
sembly 10 pass upon certain important
features.
One of these IL. whether the persons
who registered during the first six
months OF the present year can consid-
er themselves qualified TO vote at the
November election next year, the first
election that Will occur In this city un-
der the provisions OF the amendment.
II the general assembly enacts a statute
providing that all persons who registered
during the year 1900 arc qualified TO vote
in November next, this question will be
satisfactorily disposed OF.

Passage of the Amendment Has
Caused Many to Make Delay
General Assembly to Decide About
Qualifications Made Prior to June
Last Confusion Might Arise.

In the meantime there Is a great deal
OF uncertainty I'm the minds OF some
people, and IL is not improbable that
many persons who registered in January
last will again register i'm January next,
in order 20 be on the safe side.
MIGHT MAKE CONFUSION.
1t also rests with the general assembly
TO decide when the registration for the
new term shall commence, although from
the language OF the amendment 10 the
constitution IL would seem as II IL might
begin on July / and end on June 20 or
the following year.
As matters now stand. the opinion OF
the members Of the board of canvassers
and registration is tnat the persons who
registered before June last should be
qualified TO vote next November. and the
general opinion is that the general as
sembly will 80 decide.
Secretary Smith of the board said thas
morning that II persons who registered
before last June should he compelled 10
go through the act of qualifying once
more, there would be large number OF
names on the books twice and, of course,
there was some danger that confusion
might arise.
1t is supposed that this matter will be
one OF the very first attended to at the
January session of the legislature
REGISTRATION is LIGHT.
During the month OF November regis
tration was very light indeed people
probably being influenced to procrastinate
by the passage OF the amendment. and
when the office was closed on Saturday
the total was only 2516 which would leave
about 1900 citizens To qualify to bring
the registry vote up TO the average
OF course. the month of December has
always seen the heaviest registration.
but IL is doubtful IL such will be the case
this year.
