DO NOT BE DECEIVED.


a morning paper, attempting TO ex-
plain the law In reference to voting
at elections, makes the following state
ment which, whether intended or not
may mislead persons unfamiliar with
the statutes, II says:
IAN that is necessary Is that ne have
lived Within the city limits for 60 days
the county four months and the state
one year. Under the old law Il was
required that citizen have lived I'm
one OF the five wards or precincts OF
the municipality f.r sixty days prior &c
election, but this law was made lnef-
feetive BY bill passed by the Logis-
lature OF 1901.
THE city previous TO the enactment
OF the statute referred TO was divided
into five precincts, these corresponding
to the present ward divisions. The new
law passed In 1901 resolved the entire
city into one precinct, and the Ave sub
divisions have since that time been
designated as municipal wards. The
whole city Is now one precinct and any
one who has resided here for sixty
days prior TO November 3rd, and Is
otherwise qualified, may cast a legal
ballot at the polling place of the dis
trlct in which he now resides
The assertion so fatty announced Is
absolutely false os any one with COM
mon sense may see by reading the oath
which every person must subscribe to
before registration. The law reads as
follows;
Every person applying TO be regis
tered must, before he or she is entitled
TO have his or her name registered,
take and subscribe the following oath
or affirmation, which must be admin
istered by the registry agent: II DO
solemnly swear COR ainrm) that | am
citizen OF the United States and shall
have been such for ninety days prior
TO the election on the day Of ------
Nineteen hundred and --; that shall
have attained the age Of twcnty-one
years and upwards, and shall have been
resident of the state OF Utah one
year. and Of the county of ---- four
months, ana OF the precinct Of ---.

the time OF the election on the 49,

der the pains and penalties Of perjury)"
The registry books and lists must be
open ~ any reasonable time for inspec-
ton by any person. Revised Statutes
OF Utah. Sec $685.
The section OF the statutes on the
qualifications Of voters at municipal
elections is supplementary to the fore
going and says;
IAN qualified electors OF the state
who have resided In the county four
months and IN the precinct and city
or town for sixty c.y next preceding
any municipal election are entitled 10

NO PICNIC TUESDAY
"HooDoo" BLOCKS EFFORTS OF
SETTLERS ASSOCIATION.
Reunion and Picnic Which Was to
Have Been Held at Agency Tues.
day Blocked by Weather Man
Postponed Two Successive Years.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Worse than the "hoodoo," that last
year hindered the travelling men from
holding their picnic and was during
the past summer the worry of the cir
Gus proprietors, is that which effectu-
ally blocks the estimable efforts OF the
Wapello County Old Settlers assocla-
ton from holding its reunion and pic
mic. For two years vain efforts have
been made to gather the pioneers to-
gether at Agency for their yearly love
feast, but on every day selected for
the event the weather man sent out
his worst grade of weather with the re
suit that now all plans to bring the
association and it's friends together
have been given up.
Last year a day late in the summer was
selected and everything was in readiness
for the event. That day opened up with
heavy showers and the Ottumwa contin-
gent called the event off. A number as
sembled on the grounds, however, as the
rain was not general throughout the coun-
ty and an impromptu program was carried
out. But the Ottumwa contingent was
barred from attendance.
This year the Ottumwans expected to
attend the picnic. The date selected was
August 81 splendid program was ar
ranged, a special train provided for and
all arrangements made to take large
crowd from this city. Just to make it
good on that day it started to rain the
evening before and kept it up all day. Then
the date was changed to September 10
and the same program and speclal tram
was provided. Well. it started TO rain at
5 O'Clock Monday afternoon and kept 1t up
until late yesterday morning. 1t would have
taken boat to reach Fullen's grove, where
| ii was arranged to hold the picnic.
j. II. Newell, Of Agency, the secretary
of the association was reached by tele-
| phone anu he stated that in
his opinion all efforts to hold a picnic this
| year would be futile. 1t is improbable that
another effort will be made in the face OF
| the two failures. However, the association
will make arrangements to try again next
summer, trusting that the weather man
will have repented Of his harshness and
will place no more obstacles in the way.
