| Politicians Interested.
Quite a number of anxious politicians
visited Clerk J. J. Gilin yesterday and
| the object of their concern was the opinion
| Of City Attorney Breen of Omaha on the
judges OF election at the primaries. Ac-
/ cording TO Mr. Breen the Board Of Regis
trars who have charge Of the revision of
registration are to act as judges Of the pri-
mary election. II has been the opinion
here that the mayor. and council should
| appoint a new and separate body for this
work. This was done last Wednesday noon
4 The clerk said he did not know what At
torney Lambert's opinion concerning the
point was. not that if would be at all
affected by the opinion of Breen. Mr.
Lambert stated last night that so far as
the judges and clerks were concerned. he
had no intention Of following the opinions
OF Breen; that Breen had given out eight
or ten opinions on the election law which
had all been turned down by the supreme
registered voters, he admitted that Breen
was possibly right in saying that they had
no right 10 vote at the primaries at all.
He did not give this his official opinion
but expects to investigate the matter this
morning and report the same to the city
clerk. At all events any one wishing to
swear in his vote tomorrow will have 10
be able 10 prove his party affliation by a
reference to a poll book where he last
voted. II is the apparent intent Of the law
to exclude that class Of voters from the
primaries who do not take Interest enough
in them 10 see in good season that their
names are on the registration lists
