had the opportunity of voting for a
president of the United States. AS a
contractor his work has taken him
to various parts of the Unite dStates,
territories and states in each of which
he failed to remain long enough to
gain the right to vote.
He was a resident of Wyoming ter
ritory from 1879 to 1891, From 1892
to 1895 he was an inhabitant of the
Indian territory From 1896 to 1897
he was living in Texas and he was in
Louisiana from time to time between
1897 and 1906, but did not gain the
right Of franchise because two years
continuous residence was then requir-
ed from a voter. From 1907 to 1910
he was a resident Of Texas, but lacked
13 days of gaining residence there

Mr.. Smith came to McMinnville
