FOUR FOR EACH DIVISION

The next big skirmish in the impcnd-
ing mayoralty campaign will start next
week when the new board of registration
commissioners will begin the work of
appointing division registrars.
No such rush for places ms registrars
has been witnessed since the personal
registration act went into effect in 10OG
Formerly it was hard to get men to
serve as registrars.
Now the rival parties and factions arc
fighting for places on the division boards
as though the successful outcome Of the
battle depended on which side appointed
the most registrars.
-Four in Each Division
-Four registrars are to be appoint
ed for each of the 1349 divisions in
the city, 1906 in all. Two. according
to law, are to be of the majority party
and one of the other two of the next
ranking party.

the different elements has filed two
sets of petitions for the two ma iority
places.
The Alliance and Town Meeting lead
ers hope TO get enough of the registrars
in many of the divisions to take con
troll of the division boards away from
the Ware organizations.
In divisions where the Democrats
have enough election machinery they
also have filed two sets of petitions.

We believe the movie shows of

DISTRIBUTION OF
GOVERNMENT SEEDS

Congressman Nick Sinnott has re-
quested The Gazette-Times to assist
him in making distribution of the
vegetable seeds allotted to his dis
trict, next spring.
The Department of agriculture has
he write us, allotted to each member
OF Congress a number of packages
sufficient to give package of seeds
to only one person in each eight or
ten in his district. This causes him
to be particularly desirous that what
seeds he has available should get in
to the hands of those constituents
who most desire them and can use
them to the best advantage. He states
that he believes this can be done bet
ter through the papers in his district
than in any other way.
Announcement will be made
through the columns Of this paper
when the seeds arrive, probably soon
after the first Of the coming year.
