he has not already done so. provide
DR.. J. Fl. Saye. the secretary Of the
committee, with an affidavit setting
forth the reason of his irregular en-
rollment.
Those who failed to answer citations
from the committee because Of irregu-
lar enrolment and whose names have
been stricken Off the rolls. still have
the right to go before Judge Moore
for e-instatement on their own ac-
count.
There is q rule having the force Of
law. by regular enactment. which al
lows a judge to add names in his
own discretion and this is broad
enough to give the judge full authori-
ty over all Irregularities. II virtually
puts the matter within the pleasure
Of a judge to say whether or not the
names of those who have been ir-
regularly enrolled as well as the
names of those who have not enrolled
at all may be added to the list.

tion on the ground that he Is no long

as his nearest precinct.
The most numerous irregularities
were on TirZah and Yorkville No. 2

matters connected with the conduct Of
the campaign and the holding Of the
election in compliance with the rules
Of the party.
