PRIMARY DAY WILL NOT
BE REGISTRATION DAY
City Clerk Butler Says He Refuses 90
Interpret the Law to Mean 81
That. .. e.

Primary day will not be recognized BY
the city clerk as a registration day and
the Misunderstanding TO that effect which
has got abroad will cause confusion unless
1t is corrected. The old law stated that
primaries should be held on the first reg
istration day. but later laws have fixed
the first day OF registration the first week
In September, and the primaries the middle
OF August. This. in the opinion OF City
Clerk Butler, makes registration on. pri-
mary day impossible, and as It is an un-
wieldy and confusing way OF taking care
OF registration, anyway, he will not follow
IT, Primary day will give the voters OF
Omaha only the chance to vote for party
nominees and will give nil voters in the
county a chance TO vote a second time upon
