REGISTRATION CLOSED

Our local politicians are again
in turmoil over the sudden closing
of the registration office.
The law reads that the registra-
ton Office shall remain open sixty
days from the first of January, Sun
days and legal holidays excepted,
this means sixty working days, this
should run the registration up to
March 18TH, there being ten Sun
days and three legal holidays du-
ring the sixty days of January and
February.
1t was even admitted by the re-
gistration Office that it would be
open until March 18TH, but it ap-
pears that the order came from the
Secretary of State to close the re-
gistration with the last day of
February,and on the first of March
1.-THE Office was closed.
We learn, however that the re-
gistrar of voters has communica-
ted with the Secretary of State for
more information regarding this
matter.
The attorneys who can always
twist the laws to suit their ideas
or farcies seem to disagree as to
the meaning of the law as to sixty
days from the first of January or
sixty working days. The politi-
clans. however are raising sands,
and want the Office open until the
time required by law, according to
their own Interpretation.
All these election laws seem to
have been made in such a manner
as to be applicable to all emergen-
cies for or against, the only thing |
to with these laws is to interpret
them the way they will suit your
case best, and say that is law!
That law of the bosses will be |
tested in court as the opponents,
the outsiders who are fighting the
machine have applied to Judge |
Foster for mandamus to compel
the registrar of voters to open the
Office for the time specified by law.
Since when is tie Secretary of
State such an authority to simply |
order the registration Office closed? |
Appeal to the law, proceed by
legal means against the bosses and
their illegal procedures, and nu-
merous violations of law, and their
insolent defiance of the authority |
and right of a free people will |
come to an end, the people will re-
pudiate all such illegal practices.
The law must prevail in civiliz-
ed country and we can always de-
pend on the people to uphold and
maintain the authority of the law
against all violations lof the laws
of the country.
