Historical Society Preparing to OBJ
serve Twenty-Third Anniversary
of the Organization of the
City Government.

Police officers are to be sent after the
registration books this afternoon IN the four
missing precincts OF the city. The super
visors OF registration In four out of the
twelve precincts of South Omaha have
made no effort to return the books to the
city clerk since last Tuesdays registration.
1t is necessary for the city clerk to have
the registration books as early as possible
so that the vote may be tabulated and the
names listed for the use of the chairmen OF
the central committees of the parties.
Profitlng by the experience of past years,
the city clerk will not delay longer for the
registrars or supervisors to return these
books. Judging from the seven precincts
already received the estimate of 100 is
about correct for the second days registra-
ton. The balance between the parties re-
mains practically undisturbed
In one precinct the work of the Registra-
ton board was SO incomplete that 1t was
sent back with orders TO post up the books
and present them in a fair condition.
The city clerk hopes by this evening to
be able to make an accurate report.
