is The PRIMARY
SAFECuARDED?
SOME THINK REGISTRATION A
MEANS OF PREVENTING
ILLEGAL VOTING.

Is the primary election surrounded
by the same safeguards to protect
1t from illegal voting as the general
and special elections? This is 8
question that has occurred to many
persons and study Of the means
taken In the primary election law to
avert improper use of ones preroga
tive leads one to think that the law
is inefficient. There is little to pre-
vent one from voting in two wards II
the voter is not detected by the chat
lengers, for no registration is required
of the first voter in any precinct any
more than declaration Of party ar
filiation.
No Registration Provided.
A search Of the code will discover
that on the second Thursday previous
to any general or special election, 9
registration board will be in session,
which session shall continue for two
consecutive days from a. m. to 8 p
m. and again on the day Of election
the voter may register if sufficient ex.
cuse can be given for his failure to
do so at the previously appointed
time. In the case Of presidential cleo
ton, the registration board Is in ses.
sion for three days. The code, how
ever, does not fix any time for regis
tration in the primary elections, and
but for the record Of the voter having
declared his affiliation at the first pri-
mary election in 1908, there is no reg
istration of the voter. although the
code speaks Of such as registration.
May Have ChalIengers.
The law provides that each party
shall be entitled to have two party
challengers, appointed by the respec-
tive party committeeman, whose duty
it shall be to challenge any voter they
shall have reason to believe is seeking
to vote contrary to his party afillfa-
tions. And such challenge will pre-
vent the vote of such an elector until he
shall have shown that he has changed
his affiliations or makes the prescribed
will be given him.
May Vote Twice.
It would appear that a person hav-
ing removed from one precinct into
another a short time before the pri-
mary election, could vote In both pre-
cincts If so minded unless the chal-
lengers should be aware Of his change
of residence. The fact that this voter
should not change party affiliations
would make the likelihood of his
being challenged very meagre. He may
change his party af1liation on the day
of the election II he so desires even
though he failed to 50 declare to the
county auditor within the specified
time previous to the primary. A pre-
scribed form of oath or afflliation
changing the afiliation is all that Is
needed and this is supplied by the
judges of election.

SIOUX CITY HAS MEASLES.
Physician Says There Are More Than
one Hundred Cases-An
EniSenele
Epidemic,

! Sioux City, June 4.-Sioux City Is
suffering from an epidemic OF the
measles, say physicians. 1t is estl-
mated there are more than 100 cases
of the disease in the city. The exact
number is not known, as the cases
are not, reported to the health officer,
there being no state law that requires
this One physician says he is treat
ing over twenty cases and that he
knows other doctors who have several
cases.
.I have no idea how many cases
there are in Sioux City just now,' said
DR.. B. Courshon, city health physl'
clan, "but / know that measles are
prevalent. All cases are not reported
to me and have no means of getting
at the number of cases Reports from
various physicians, though, and gener.
al observation lead me to say That
there are more cases than we have
had in this city for several years"
Dr.. w. ]. Cremin said he thought
there were more cases in the city
than ever before. 81 am attending
many cases myself, and realize there
is an epidemic of measles" he said.
1.-THE measles themselves are not to
be feared, for they are not dangerous;
it is the complications that may result
from the disease that are to be guard
ed against. Unless proper precautions
are taken, pneumonia or laryngitis
may develop, and then the patient is
liable to have a hard struggle"
Other physicians agreed with Dr..
Cremin that there is nothing to fear
from measles, but that the after-effects
must be watched. It is said measles
often are accompanied by pneumonia.

Mrs. Curtis in her petition asks
that the deed be set aside and that
she be given a one.third interest In
