ANOTHER CHANCE.
Residents of Madison Ward are to have
another chance to get their names on the
registration books On a petition from
a majority of the members of the board
Judge Witt yesterday entered an order
directing that the books be reopened, and
the board will meet again for three days
at No. 80 North Eighth Street. The days
will be October goth, 2lst and 2ed.-
One of the reasons for the reopening
was. that the board sat only twelve days
in that ward, whereas the law provides
that the books be kept open fifteen days
in each ward.
An event of great interest to local poll
iticians, as well as to the citizens at
large, will be an address to be delivered
before the Clay Ward Actives on Satur-
day evening by Captain Carlton Nc
Carthy. The meeting will be held at Bel
videre Hall, and the Captains subject will
be municipal Government" The recent
contest for the mayoralty in which Cap
tain Mccarthy made such warm cam
va ss will add to the interest which such
a discussion coming from him would or
dinarily possess.
Chairman James B. Doherty yesterday
named Mr. N1inetree Folkes to succeed
CAPTAIN Cunningham Hall as a member
Of the Executive Committee from Madi-
son Ward.
