nounced today by the Cass county

Handling the Absentees.
The cerk OF the Cass county draft
board, w. r. Tucker. made 1t clear
today that the privilege extended to
absentees, OF permitting them to reg
lister In advance and mail their reg
istration card to their local boards,
who can without inconvenience, be
in their home precinct on registra-
ton day.
'The system of absentee registra-
ton is intended only for those on
whom hardships would be forced by
compelling them to go to their home
Districts" said Mr.. Tucker. The
government doesn't propose to cover
all sorts Of absentees by this plan,
but only those who cannot be in
their own precinct, to register.
For instance, the man who is
leaving the city for a few days, is
not intended to be included in the
absentee registration. He should so
arrange his affairs that he can be
in his home precinct to personally
register.
THE real absentee registrant can
obtain his card from the chief regis
trar Of the local precinct, as indicat-
ed in the list we have completed
today. The card must be filled and
acknowledged before a registration,
officer. Then mailed by the registrant
to the mayor or clerk OF a city if
the registrant resides in a city of
over, 10000 population, or to the
county auditor or sheriff in the
event that he resides in a town Of
less than 10000.
THE registrant must enclose a
self Addressed envelope, which will
board in forwarding to the regis
trant his certificates of registra-
ton"
