WELDING A BOOMERANG.
TIGER after REPE1TERS.
Tammany Factions Tell of Tsoo
Thousand Bogus poters.

Scores of the most notorious Tamnany cleo
ton repeaters in the city are likely to be ar
rested for violating the election laws on Sep
tember 10 snd the refreshing thing about it is
that the information necessary for their appre-
hension has been furnished by Tammany men.
About twenty-five hundred complaints from
leaders of Tammany factions in the districts
where contests are have been lodged with
State Superintendent of Elections George w.
Morgan. and more coming in every day.
These complaints a!lege that certain men are
not entitled to vote from houses at which they
claim to live or that they live in other dis
tricts and will be violating the law if they vote
on primary day. All such information is CRATE
fully accepted by Mr.. Morgan, who is keeping
tab on every voter in the district.
1t has been the custom for contestants in
Tammany primary fights, to yell fraud" on
primary day. and then on registration day, when
they are all together to deny that any fraud
exists.
This old game will not work this year. as the
information concerning voters is in shape to
detect fraud where it occurs.
Heretofore election inspectors have furnished
the State Superintendent of Elections copies of
the registration books This year. under the
amended law. the inspectors will be obliged to
make out an individual card, containing
swers to the following entries: Name and adj
dress of elector election district, Assembly dis
trict county, date of registration age, length
Of residence in State and county and election
district country of nativity, date of naturaliza-
ton, court in which naturazed. last regfstra-
ton vote, with name of State, city or town
and residence.
If the elector gives wrong information with
reference to any Of these points he is subject to
arrest. and the burden of proof rests with him.
and not with the election officers.
An individual card with this information must
be forwarded to the State Superintendent for
filing and comparison. If the data do not
tally with the data given by the same voter the
year before the electors name can be rejected.
