VOTERS READ THE
ELECTION LAW
All Persons Eligible to Vote Can do
SO Regardless Of Work Houses.
Read the Law.

On account of the short time that
has been provided fov the casting Of
the ballot at the coming general elae-
ton it will be difficult for many voters
TO attend to their one big opportunity.
The polls will only be open from 6:21
6o'clock a. m, until sos o'clock p. m,
less than twelve hours and those per
sons who reside in the country dis
tricts and who are required to be at
work by O'Clock will not have an
opportunity to vote only during work
ing hours Neither will many of them
be able to return home in time in the
evening to vote before the polls are
closed, if they work out their full day.
This question has been taken up and
discussed during the past few days
and those who have become interested
in the matter have looked up the law,
and they are quoting it for the bene-
fit of those who fear that they will
lose their right to vote. The law was
enacted several years ago and can be
found in section So of the general cleo
ton laws of this state, and states that
time must be allowed employees to
7ote. The following is the section in
full:
Every person entitled 10 vote at
any general election. national state
or county election. who may be en-
ployed by another on the day on which
such election shall be held on wach
shall be given some period Of four
hours. or more if necessary, between
the opening and closing Of the polls.

ling such persons to repair to his
vote AMI return any any circuit court
