cards completely with the data
given by those who are register

er which curtails space and handi-
:apped BY q shortage in Office for
% this week, it is impossible to
publish the filed out card as an

nd reliable commissioners and
Jerks will have charge of the re-.
'istration at every polling place
nd will be sent one card filed out
Or simple registration and one
or service with instructions toll
