The educational qualification will apply and only those who are able to read the con stitution of the United States will l be permitted to vote.
 According to law five notices of the coming election must be posted in the county twelve days prior to the date of the election. Notices will be prepared and mailed to the var ious post offices in the near future.
 Residents of incorporated towns will vote on the question as it ap- plies to their cities only. County residents living within the ineorpor- ated precincts will vote on the ques- tion as it applies to the county only and the voting for this class of vOt- CTS will take place in a booth select ed without the city limits.

 According to Judge Kent's decision the great register is open at all times but no one can vote who has not been registered twenty-one days prior to any election. However in the event of making a new register the board of supervisors must order the office of the recorder to start the enrolment and the recorders O1- flee cannot start the new register un- til the supervisors order it.
