MORE DELINQUENTS Than
Qualified ELECTORS
Large Number Of Citizens Waited Un-
til After February First to Pay Their
Taxes, While Many Failed Altogeth-
er to Pay Polls.

The committee appointed by the city
executive committee to revise the poll
books and check them with the tax
receipt books of the city and county
tax collectors, in order to determine
who will and who will not be permit
ted to vote in the municipal primary
next Tuesday, finished their work
last night and the books are now
ready for public inspection at the
city hall.
On account of the large number of
double and erroneous assessments
found by the committee, they have
decided to remain in session at the
city hall during the remainder of the
week and allow taxpayers to exam
inc the books and have such errors
as may exist corrected
AS soon as it was learned that the
committee had finished its work many
candidates gathered at the city hall
for the purpose of getting revised
lists of the qualified voters, so that
they may have a more intelligent idea
of what they may depend upon on elec-
tion day.
Lists which were prepared shortly
after the books were revised for the
election on the commission form of
government have been found to be in
correct in many instances, according
to the books as they now appear, and
these, therefore, will be discarded by
the candidates as worthless.
Many people who have been marked
disqualified at the last election have
since produced their tax receipts and
gotten their affairs Strengthened out
so they can vote, and the names of
many persons who were not register
ed at that time now appear on the
books; on the other hand, there are
number of people in that election
who have left the city and will
not be qualified, to vote next Tuesday.
Members u the committee stated
this morning that it would be impos-
sible to say Just how many qualified
voters there would be until after Sat
urday night, when the books will be
closed and = correct list made, as
there will doubtless be many errors
corrected before that time.
Candidates are making strenuous
efforts to get their friends Straight
ened OUT II there is any possible way
to do #, and they are being cheerfully
assisted by the revision committee,
the members of which have expressed
a desireAto give everybody fair deal.
Those who are in close touch with
the situation contend that the esti-
mate of sight hundred voters will
prove to be nearly correct, and it is
geperalIy believed that more than
ninety-ilye per cent of those who are
qualifled will take part in the primary
next Tuesday.
