MAY NOT FAVOR THE
VOTE FOR SOLDIERS
Secretary of State SchmahI
Does Not Believe Enough
Would Ballot

Secretary of State Schmahl late yes
terday said that he may recommend to
the State Public Safety commission the
abandonment of pending plans to permit
Minnesota men in military service to
vote at the general election in November.
1.-The feeling among county auditors
throughout the state seems to be that
the soldier vote at the primary election
is far too small to warrant an attempt
to take the vote in November" Secretary
Schmahl said:
Although no figures either on the num-
Der of soldier votes cast or the cost of
taking them were obtainable, it was
agreed by state officials that the response
to- the voting privilege in June was ex-
tremely small and the expense rather
great in proportion.
The safety commission at a recent
meeting directed that an order be prepar-
ed to permit the soldiers, including those
in France, to vote in November by mail,
but has taken no definite action on it.

YOUNG MEN SIGN THEIR
NAMES FOR THE DRAFT
Forty.Five Were Listed In Blue
Earth County On Last
Saturday

Forty five young men of Blue
Earth county who have reached the
age of twenty one years since June
last, registered for military service
at the court house Saturday. The
office of the draft board was open
from eight o'clock in the morning
until nine in the evening. The men
registered rather slowly and there
were somewhat less than had been
estimated. This was no doubt due to
the fact that many boys of this age
have already enlisted in the army or
navy
At least two young men who were
at the wrecked village of Tyler with
the National guards were unable to
register. These men were excused by
General w. G. Rhinow and will
register as soon as the companies
come home. Jews and Seventh Day
Adventists were also excused from
registering Saturday and it may be
that the list from this county will
have one or two additional names
later.
Following is complete list of
names of the men who registered
Saturday:
