having been filed out as befUyc stated,
his name may be entered on the Gilt
Edge list. provided he satisfactorily
answers the other questions concern
ing his residence which may be pro-
pounded. 1t Is not necessary that
John Smith go personally back to
Utica, haveIhis name erased from that
list and present a certificate Of such
erasure to the Gilt Edge registry
agent before his name mey beentered
on the Gilt Edge list. No such hard
ship is required.
After the final closiug OF reglstra-
ton on October 29tk, the registry
agents must cause to be posted lists
OF the electors appearing on their
books, and II included in that list be
the name OF anyone who has died,
removed from the district or become
otherwise disqualified TO vote in that
district, two credible and responsible
electors may by affidavit (Form No.
l0) cause the registry agent To cancel
such name and not include 1t In the
copies OF official register or in the
check list which he win furnish to the
judges.
Comfy Clerk Kelly some time since
distributed among the registry agents
copies OF the election laws and they
should all be well informed on these
points. The supplies have all been
forwarded, and in this issue appears
a notice from each agent giving the
dates upon whichhbe will sit In each
election district and the place where
he may be found.
Every voter should, as we before
stated, see that his name Is on the
list, take sutiicientinterest to see that
the names OF parties who are not en-
titled to vote shaa, be stricken from
the list, and also sask his neighbors
the all-important question, els your
name on the LIST" Do not allow a
reply 81 suppose So" to pass unchal-
leuged, but urge that the matter be
looked into. lfyOu are not registered
youcan't vote.
You cannot register in one district
and vote in another. The only excep-
ton to this rule is where the duly
appointed registry agent in your dis
triet fails to act. In such case, and
Ia no other, may you be registered in
another district. and to do that you
must make an affidavit form u to
the elect stated and receive from the
registry agent n certificate Form p
which will enable yau 10 voteinyuur
own election precinct. No Use OF try
ing to register at Grass Range, for
instance, ana get Il certificate to vote
at DeePiield OF at H8ibert. The reg
istry agent has 10 authority to give
such a certificate and the Judges will
have no right to let you vote. By
doing that you VIII lose your vote
entirely, because usually in suchcases
and there were several two years
ago. the registry agent where you
registered grasses your name from his
list when be gives you such pretended
certificate, and even II you get back
there your name will not then be on
the voting list.
Register early. Don't put it off
until the last day, because something
may then turn up to prevent your
registering. Register early next week.
No matter Ii yol did voteia the same
precinct two years ago. Call ON the
agent and ask him II your Eameis on
the list. lie will be glad TO see you
and you can then be satisfied that
you are y. II.
