100 VOTERS ARE IN PETITION
Strict Observance OF Election
Laws Will DiSfranchiSe
Many.

The filing of petition to Circuit
Judge Hanbery Tuesday afternoon
by j. w. Robertson and W. W. Nor
ris for the issuance of writ of man.
damus requiring County Clerk Stowe
to correct the registration books
used in the registration last October
and supplemental regist t ! s
aroused considerable interest when
the Judge took up the case yesterday
morning. The petitioners we're rep
resented by County Attorney Duffy
aud Judge Cook represented Mr..
Stowe. The suit is altogether a
friendly one and the rights of about
100 legal voters Of the city are IL
volved.
The petitioners claim that at the
regular registration and supple
mentary registrations they were not
asked as to their party utilization,
which was the duty of the judges of
the regular registration and the duty
of the County Clerk at the supple
mental registration. and their party
utilization was not recorded. On &C.
count of this, they are barred by law
from voting in the primary next
Saturday. They seek to have the
books of both registrations corrected
by the County Clerk, but the power
of Mr.. Stowe to correct the mistakes
of others was questioned.
There were several lawyers pres
ent and the election laws were thor.
oughly digested with considerable
variance as to construction.
Judge Hanbery and the attorneys
talked the matter over for an hour
when the Judge said that he would
consider the matter and hear the
parties again tomorrow morning at
. " SlOCh'
He said that he wanted to give the
voters of all the parties a fair show
ing, and asked the attorneys to file
an amended petition by Friday and in
the petition to include the affidavits
of the 160 voters whose names were
left out Of the first petition.
Somehow it is believed that every
voter will be allowed to
vote whether his utilization was re-
corded or not. This must not be
taken as conclusive, however. The
court will make no mistake when he
renders his decision.
