men, all between 22 and "a years
OF age, offered themselves for reg
istration from the same residence.
Finally one of the registrars got
curious and asked one OF the lads
what IL meant. The explanation was
simple. The young men had a
boarding club. They had hired a
house, hired servants and were
splitting all the expenses. All were
bright clean young chaps, most OF
them bank clerks. and this was the
first chance they had had to vote.
The election officials curiosity got
the better Of him and he asked the
lad how he and his chums felt on
the street car purchase.

able to get out and vote No on that
scheme" was the instant reply.
