DEMO CRATS HOLD
INSTRUCTION SCHOOL
Precinct Committeeman
Talk Over Political AT
fairs in County.

The democratic meeting of the pre-
cinct committeeman from all over the
county, held in the Jefferson club
rooms, Hammond yesterday after
noon. resolved itself into school of
instruction for tho committeeman on
the registration law and the corrupt
practice act.
The next registration will be held on
Sept. 9Th, and each, precinct committee
man was furnished with copy of the
names registered in his precinct in May.
Considerable emphasis was laid on the
clause pertaining to the removal of a
voter from one precinct into another.
particularly after he has registered. 1t
was pointed out that the law provides
that voter muS re-register If he has
moved from his precinct since his last
registration. not only this he must pro-
cure a certificate of release from the
county auditor, bearing the latter s
stamp and signature. This clause is
embodied in the law to prevent vot-
er from voting in more than one pre-
cinct and is one that is likely to be
overlooked by many, particularly by
the element which is more or less of
the floating type.
