TRICK TO DODGE NEW LAW.

Watching for 1ammany registration tricks il
taxing the vigilance Of the Republican district
leaders. President Parsons of the county commit
tee discovered yesterday that in some Of the dis
tricts below 18th street, where the heaviest col
onizng and repeating are done, the Tammany men
are planning to try a new dodge.
Some days ago" said Mr. Parsons L VAS
told that one of the methods that Tammany would
pursue to circumyent the law would be to have
f1oaters say they could write In that event
they must answer identifying questions both on
registration and election days The puzzle to Tam
many has been how foater could be enabled on
Election Day TO answer the questions in the same
way that he some other 1oater answered them
on registration day.
Therefore Tanmany has devised this scheme
1t has printed slips, with facsimile questions and
given instructions that the foater shall have his
facsimile slip o. K. d by inspector on Election
Day. If this done the slips could then later
be distributed TO the Election Day Heaters
We serve notice en- all inspectors and other
persons that verifying any such fac-simile slip is
felony under the law. All Republican in
spectors, captains and watchers are being notified
TO mark for special investigation and challenge
any who carries such slip presents 1t for
inspector watcher who is disposed to comply
with the request to verify. The law specifically
provides that any person who shall prompt a voter
IN answering these questions shall be guilty OF a
