"While it is true that Mr.. Hughes is
entitled to the support of the Demo-
cratic organization including the two
Democratic judges of the district court
for success in his campaign this fall
for election as district attorney, do
not think that the judges under the sad

pointment necessary, were moved
by political considerations. The ap-
pointment was one that was eminently
proper to be made.

Because of the action of those in

signatures of two vouchers before an
otherwise qualified voter could get his
name upon the permanent registration
list, it now appears that many were
illegally debarred from exercising their
right of franchise at the recent primary
election, according to the decision of
Deputy District Attorney Wallis, who
has made the following reply to the
question propounded by County Clerk
McCauley:
"In answer to yours of recent date,
asking for an opinion upon Section 2lS8,
the same being Section S Of the Laws
of 1894, as to whether or not vouchers
are required in district registrations in

as follows: that in my opinion, in the
registration taken by your deputy in dis

upon notice given by you. that vouchers
are not required. the personal appear

the third vertical column and also the
third horizontal column. The numer-
ais 33, therefore, would indicate the
letter m. In like manner 81 would
