NEW VOTING Law
MEANS MUCH WORK.

In the coming spring election the new
Legislative act, providing for the record
ing Of the ballot of absent voters. such
as commercial travellers. students, etc.,
will be effective for the first time. The
provisions Of the act are not generally
known. but it 10 assumed that steps
will be taken prior to the next state
and national elections to acquaint all
electors affected Of the fact that they
may vote wherever they may be located
on election day.
The act provides that within thirty
days preceding election any commercial
traveller. student or other registered
voter, or qualified elector, who knows
that he will be away from, his home
city on election day, may apply to the
township, city or village clerk for the
formal application blank emitting him
to an official ballot. When this applica-
tion blank is properly filled out, or sworn
to, it may be mailed to the clerk, who
is required by law to send an official
ballot to the absent voter as soon az
the ballot is printed, which must be at
least twelve days before the election.
instead of five days. as provided under
the old law.
When the ballot is voted, provision
is made by sworn affidavit to accompany
it and both must be mailed to the clerk
and polled by him in the regular manner
before the close of voting precincts on
on the day of election. Unless the bal
lot is polled before the close Of the pre-
cinct, it will not count.
The board Of election examiners must
compare the application of the absent
voter with the poll book, to make GER
tain the mailed ballot has not been
fraudulently voted. In the case Of the
township election, the clerk will be re-
quired to visit every election precinct
on the day of election to poll the vote
Of absent voters.

single, and the Register Of Deeds Of
the county in which any instrument IL
offered for record shall refuse to receive
the same for record unless it conforms
to the provisions of the act"
Chattel mortgages under certain con-
ditions must be recorded with the Reg
lister Of Deeds, according to the new
law.
Another act makes an unrecorded
conveyance null and void If second
conveyance of the same property for =
valuable consideration should be made.
The act is ss follows:
every conveyance Of real estate,
within the state hereinafter made. that
shall not be recorded as provided in this
chapter, shall be void as against any
subsequent purchase in good faith and
for valuable consideration, of the same
real estate or any portion thereof,
whose conveyance shall be first duly
recorded. The fact that such first
conveyance is in the form or contains
the terms Of deed of quit claim and
release, shall not affect the question Of
good faith ofsuch subsequently purchaser,
or be of itself notice to him of any un-
recorded conveyance Of the same real
estate or any portion thereof"
This act will tend TO make parties
concerned in transaction record their
papers without delay. These acts have
long been needed, and will tend to pre-
vent trouble and mistakes.

Special Cable to liberty \

Especial Cable to Liberty News1
SHANGHAI, Feb. 9.-The republi-
can soldiers gained one of their
greatest victories today when they
occupied Mukden, and gained the in
dependence of the entire province of
Shing King. This province is next to
Chill, the stronghold of the monarch
lists, and the occupation of Mukden
gives the republicans a strong base
on the northeast.
The Peking and Mukden railroad
has ceased operation, and Yuan Shih-
Kai has brought all of his soldiers to
guard Peking. The Mongolians will
attack Peking from the north, and
the addition of Mukden gives the re-
publicans control of the railroads to
Peking from all directions. Shing
King is the province which was to
have been given to Japan for recogniz-
ing Yuan as Emperor.
A late despatch states that Shansi
province, which adjoins Chilli on the
southwest, has been strengthened by
the revolutionist party. One-half Of
this province Is now in the hands OF
the republican soldiers, and these
troops will march on Peking from the
west. Manchurian and Mongolian
troops will assist the soldiers OF Shen.
