on the ground that no voter should be
disfranchised BY the carelessness. ignor-
ance or croOkedness Of any person-in
fact Mr.. Morey so stated in the case of
his own signature on his own petition.
He has constantly asked certifying town

they have ali answered yes

AMERICAN TRADE
 WITH RUSSIA IS
 GROWING RAPIDLY
But There Is to Be Keen Competition With Eng land After the War
 Is Over

Stockholm, December 15.-CMorre- spondence of the Associated Press.) More and more the American business men appear to be Investigating com mercial possibilities in Russia. Every steamer from America brings steadily increasing numbers of them, and Amer jeans are continually streaming in from Petrograd and Moscow with their pockets filled with contracts or the proceeds of sales.
 There is, however. very consldera- ble number who either go no farther than Stockholm or who reach their aims only after many weeks of weary waiting here. These are the men who neglected before shipping their goods to inform themselves of the conditions to be met, or routes, of things essen tial to the sale and delivery of goods lin Russia.
 A typical case is that of the repre- sentative of certain automobile firms in America, who came to Stockholm with some motor trucks intended for Russia, despite the fact that it is near ment enacted a law refusing transit to motor vehicles in any and all circum- stances. This law, enacted on January 9, 1915, prohibits absolutely and un- qualifedly the transit through Sweden to Russia of arms or parts thereof, am intuition, war material not specially mentioned, lead in all forms and motor vehicles of any kind
 The shipper of the motor trucks was inclined to reproach the British em- bassy in Washington for having issued to him letters of assurance on articles which could not be transited through Sweden. It may be that the men in the department of the embassy that issues these letters were not familiar with the Swedish law. Quite apart, how evr, from the question of whether they knew or should have given warning, American shippers should understand that letters of assurance are in no way a guaranty that the goods covered are wanted by or can enter Russia, or that they can cross Sweden.
 Russia, in common with all other belligerent countries, has prohibited the importation of certain goods and closely restricted the importation of others. Generally speaking, all luxur- ies may not be brought into the em- pire.
 The list of things wanted is subject to frequent alteration; conditions out
