Emmett T. Arrel, of Aumsville, who
was appointed district registrar for
Shaw, West Stayton and Aumsville, was
relieved of his duties today by County
Clerk Gehlhar. These district regis
trars hold their office during the pleas
ure of the county court and it was
found that about two-thirds of the reg
istrations sent in by ARIEL had to be
returned on account of errors and ON
missions Mr.. Gehlhar states that where
the registration is incorrect in the first
instance that it is not only an addi-
tional bother to the office force who
make up the precinct registers but it
causes the voter to again answer all of
the questions and often the district reg
istrars fail to make the corrections and
then when the voter comes to the polls
he finds that he is not registered
though he had been thinking for some
time that he was and that il is no
fault of the voter that the registrar
has failed to fulfill his duties.

trict registrars were announced today
