INFORMATION FOR VOTERS

Editor Star: The primary law as
enacted by the legislature of 1913 re-
quired a biennial registration which
constant registration not being popu-
lar with the people the legislature of
1915 amended that part of the law so
as to read as follows:
"That all persons who have hereto
fore registered or who may hereafter
register under the provisions of chap
ter 6469 of the laws of Florida, acts
of 1913, in election precincts which
are not located wholly or in part
within city or more than twenty
thousand population shall be deemed
duly registered for all general pri-
mary elections and so long as they
continue to reside in the election pre-
cinct in which they so registered and
their names shall be carried upon the
registration books as electors, duly
registered for such elections"
After the passage of this amend
ment I have acted in accordance
thereto, and transcribed the names
from the primary books to the books
used in all general and special cleo
tions, if such names were not already
on these books, and have repeatedly
stated to the people of this county
that when they have registered on the
primary books that that registration
would entitle them not only to vote in
the primary elections but all other
elections. Now that the validity of
thi samendment as to registration for
all elections other than the primary
has been questioned, / submit here
with the opinion of the attorney gen.
eral and ask the voters of the county
to read and govern themselves ac-
cordingly. d. M. Barco,
Supervisor of Registration.
Attorney Generals Opinion
Of course I do not say that this
provision of the statute is invalid.
only undertake to demonstrate that il
may be so held by the courts, and
/ OO Sdy IiAdL 10 1OOlk 4OA dOabt
of its validity and that since this is
true the safe course for an elector is
to see to it that he is duly registered
upon the registration books for gen
eral elections so that if it should be
held that the registration for primary
/ elections is not sufficient registra-
tion for general elections, he would
not be denied the right to vote in the
general election.
| This is advisable for another reas,
on, namely: if, after the general elec.
ton is held, the question of whether
or not electors who had registered
on the registration books for primary
elections but had not registered or
the registration books for genera
elections were qualified to vote in the
general election, was raised and il
should be held that such registration
was not sufficient, great uncertainty
and dissatisfaction would probably
i follow.
/ For this reason I am suggesting
that all electors register just as i
! the registration books for primary
elections were not in existence. O1
icourse, if an elector has heretofore
Registered in the registration book!
for general elections, it will not bt
!, necessary to do so again.
i Respectfully, 7. F. West,

OPERATIONS IN
ARMENIA
Formidable Attempt of Turks to Re-
gain EZerum Met with
Failure

Petrograd, Aug. 28.-The Turkish
attempt to encircle the left flank of
the Russian Caucasian army appears
to have received crushing blow from
the troops of Grand Duke Nicholas in
the region of Lake Van.
The Turkish scheme of encircling
the left flank and regaining Ezerum,
thus multiplying all the successes of
the grand duke in Turkish Armenia,
appeared to be well on it's way to a
successful outcome, but the Russian
reoccupation of Mush and their re-
establishment of their positions west
of Lake Van apparently has put a
definite end to the ambition of the
Turks. The initiative now appears
again to be with the Russians at all
important points in Asia Minor, and
now that the Turkish offensive on the
left flank has been stopped Grand
Duke Nicholas can continue his march
toward Asia Minor.
The task of turning the left flank OF
the Russians in Southern Armenia and
Western Persia was intrusted to the
Mush group of the Turkish forces,
which were reinforced by troops from
every part of European and Asiatie
Turkey until they far outnumbered
the Russian army opposing them and
began the northeastern drive in the
direction of Ezerum.
Although constantly halted by the
Russian fire and forced to send in a
continuous stream of reserves to re-
pair the ravages to their lines caused
! by Russian counter attacks, the Turks
appeared early in August, after the
occupation of Mush and Bitlis and the
successful expedition into Persian
territory as far as Hamadan, to be ir
a fair way toward accomplishing the
task which they had undertaken.
The turning point came soon after
the Turkish occupation of Mush, wher
the Russian line in that neighborhooc
stiffened suddenly. The battle begur
then continued uninterruptedly unit
yesterday, when the Turkish forces
despite their reported superiority II
numbers, fell back under the British
assault, conducted from the regions Of
Melasguerd and Gniskala, and lef
| Mush again in Russian hands.
The defeat of this group of the
Turkish forces is considered by mill
tary critics here to be of great i'm
/ portance, because upon the Turkish
ability to hold Mush and use it as /;
base of operations against the Rus
sian left wing the success of their en-
tire campaign in this region wa
predicated.
/ The expedition, which the Turk
sent out from Rivandouza towar'
Persia is an apparent attempt to dis
tract the attention of the Russian
| from the main theater of operations
i likewise came to grief near Rachta
where two regiments were captures
by the Russians, according to war of
flee statements.
The new offensive movement of tn
Russians in Southern Turkish Ar
menia is being developed energetical
| ly. The war Office reported today tina
the Russian troops are continuing tn
attack west of Lake Van.
"0ur offensive west of Lake Van i
continuing" the statement reads. "I
the direction of Mosul we are pursu
ing the remnant of the disperse
Turkish divisions"

Both Railway Managers and
Employees are Stubborn
PLAN SUGGESTED BY PRESIDENT WILSON DOES NOT SEEM
ACCEPTABLE TO EITHER PARTY
(Assoca caedPro
(Associated Press)

Washington, August 28-President
Wilson's negotiations for averting the
threatened nationwide railway strike
is in the last stage. A break or set
tlement is apparently near, with the
railroads standing firm against an
eight-hour day and the brotherhood
leaders still standing against arbitra-
ton. The hope of preventing tie-up
seems with Congress. What Congress
can do none of the leaders seem to
know.
Conferences begun last night con-
tinued today. President Wilson post
poned his engagement with the rail-
way executives until this afternoon in
order to gain time for conferences.
The situation viewed on all sides is
the most perilous since the negotia-
tions began. Hope lay in the possi-
bility that the president and the ad-
ministration might get the men to
give more time in which to negotiate.
PRESIDENTS PLAN DISCUSSED
President Wilson's plan to break the
deadlock in the railroad strike situa-
tion discussed at conferences today in
cludes an eight-hour law for railroads
to be effective long enough in the fu-
ture to allow the railroads to prepare
and for the passage of law creating
an investigation commission and pre-
venting lockouts and strikes pending
investigation, which was discussed as
the next step after the managers
formally refuse the presidents for
mer plan.

PREDETERMINED PLAN

London, Aug. 28.-No indications
have been received of the immediate
effect on the Balkan military situa-
ton by the Rumanian declaration of
war against Austria Hungary, or
moves already made on both sides.
Indication that Rumania moved ac-
cording to a predetermine dplan is
found in the fact that her war decla-
ration was made the same day that
Italy's declaration against Germany
was announced. The German federal
council, which must consent to any
war other than of defensive nature,
has been called to meet Immediately.
The censors are releasing but little
news of the Macedonian campaign.
The Bulgarians claim consistent gains
in pushing into Albania. London
announces only scattered artillery ac-
tions.
Bad weather is intervening in the
operations on the Somme front. Paris
reports the repulse of German attacks
ut Fleury on the Verdun front.
GERMANY WILL ANSWER TODAY
~ Germany is expected to declare war
on Rumania within twenty-four hours,
according to a dispatch from The
Hague. The general federal council
met this morning. The Rumanian
legation in Berlin is under police
guard. The Italian embassy was
stoned yesterday. Another dispatch
says Germany will hand the Ruman-
ian minister his passports today.
FOURTEEN NATIONS IN THE
FIGHT
Rumania, the fourteenth natioF to
enter the war, some assert can mob
ilize a million men. Her army is es-
timated at 568,000. Rumania's entry
opens the gateway for the Russians to
attack the Bulgarians from the north.
Aspirations for national expansion is
the reason assigned.
RETURNED THE COMPLIMENT
Berlin, Aug. 28.-Germany has de-
clared war on Rumania.
