The resolution follows +:

Believing that too much laxity has at times
existed in the enforcement of the laws govern
ing elections in this state, and wishing to make
1t impossible TO have q single fraudulent vote
cast in Owosso at the approaching election, the
members Of the First Baptist Church, in attend
ance at the services Sunday morning, October
To- 1916, call upon the City Commissioners and
others In authority to do all possible to have the
registration and election laws strictly complied
with. To this end we are opposed to the Gus
tom which has prevailed for number of years
OF posting lists OF names Of voters stated to be
qualified electors, which lists contain many
names OF those who have removed from the
ward and are not entitled to vote therein. We
respectfully call upon the registration boards
TO remove all such names at their session Nov.
4th and to enroll in accordance with the law
only those persons who appear in person for
that purpose. We also believe it is against
public policy and contrary to law to post sin
gle registration list containing names of voters
who are shown by the registration books to
have been removed therefrom by the proper Of
fcerS. It is therefore
Resolved, That we request the Commissioners
OF the City to have posted registration notices
which contain only the actual list of qualified
voters, dropping all others from the printed
lists so that only legal voters names will ap
pear thereon, thus removing an opportunity for
fraudulent voting.

Whereas, In order that absolute fairness may
prevail at the election to be held November 7th,
IL Is necessary that the registration lists OF the
several wards should be revised to remove the
several hundred names thereon OF voters not
now residents OF some OF the wards In which
they have resided since the last general regis
tration IN 1914, and TO strike of names Of those
who have removed from the city or have died,
it is therefore,
Resolved, by those present at the morning
service, October 18th, In the First Congrega-
tional Church, that an earnest request be made
the Boards Of RegistraI ion in the five wards to
comply with the requirements OF the State law,
First by printing and posting an accurate list
of qualified voters now shown on the registra.
tion books;
Second, by having the Board OF Registration
in each ward discharge the full duty required
OF such Board on registration day by taking
Il ON the list the names of all voters not DOW
living in their wards, and TO register only those
who comply with the law as interpreted by the
Attorney General OF the State who has ruled
that voters must appear in person and cannot
register by proxy.
The above resolution wins adopted by unani-
