REGISTRATION
NECESSARY To
ALI. WHO VOTE
May Mark Gross at Top and
Vote Straight Ticket, New
Phase of the Law Provides
Can Scratch by Erasing the
Name of Person One Does
Not Care to Give Support

All voters who expect TO vote at the
general election November >, must be
registered in their precincts by the
evening of Saturday, October 30. Per
sons who registered prior to the pri-
mary election need not again register,
but registration two years ago viii
not hold good for the election this
year. A vote cannot be sworn in at
the polls.
The last session of the legislature
changed the law so that the straight
ticket may again be voted by plac-
ing a cross in a circle at the head
of the ticket. By doing so, a person
votes for every candidate whose name
appears on the ticket, except as other
wise specified.
A straight ticket may be scratched
by placing an X in the large circle at
the top of the ticket, and then erasing
or scratching out the name of the per-
son on the straight ticket for whom
one does not wish to vote, or by plae-
ing an X at the right of the name of
the person on the other ticket for
whom the vote is intended.
For example, a person wishing to
vote the straight Democratic ticket
with the exception of one or
more candidates on the Republican or
Independent tickets, shall place an
X in the circle at the head of the
Democratic ticket and then turn to the
candidate or candidates on the Repub-
lican or Independent tickets and place
an X after their names, this move
automatically killing the vote for the
candidate on the Democratic ticket,
whether the name of the party not
wished to be voted for be scratched
out or not. The safest way, however, in
order to avoid any misunderstanding,
is to scratch out the name of the can
didate for whom YOU do not wish to
vote and place an X in the circle at the
right of the name of the candidate on
the other ticket for whom you do wish
to vote.

STUART rs OPPOSED
TO COUNTY DIVISION

A. J. Stuart, of Sites, Democratic
nominee for state senator, is opposed
to division of Idaho county. This is
the statement Mr.. Stuart made while
in Grangeville Monday.
81 am absolutely against county
division he asserted. "The people
of the proposed Selway county four
years ago, when the proposition was
submitted to them, by referendum
vote, turned it down by an over
whelming majority. County division
is not an issue in this campaign and
should not be brought up by anyone.
eff I am elected to the next SEES
sion of the state legislature, I shall
oppose county division first, last and
all the time.
81 make this reservation. There is
section in the southern part of Idaho
county which, understand, desires to
be annexed to Valley county, and if
there is no objection from my consti-
tueney I shall, if elected, vote for
such a measure

BODY Of MAN
DEAD TEN DAYS
Kokas Solves Money Mystery
AS Brothers Body Is About
to Be Placed in the Coffin
Accuses Salmon River Man of
Taking Funds; Is Surprised
When Currency Is Found

Securely concealed in a necktie
bound around the leg of a dead man
for ten days, $40 in cash was found
Saturday night on the corpse of Louis
Kokas, Greek laborer, who was killed
October on the North and South
highway, near Golf. The discovery

paratory to being placed in a coffin for
transmittal to Spokane, Sunday morn

WHERE is HIS MONEY?
KOkas, who came here from Massa-
chusetts early last week, in company
with another Greek from Spokane,
went to the scene of the brother Is
death to investigate circumstances sur
rounding the accidental killing and
also, it is understood, to determine
what had become of money the dead
brother was known to have possessed
prior to his demise.
Search for the money proved fruit
less Firmly believing that the cash
must be somewhere, Kokas, it is said,
accused a man on Salmon river of
having stolen his brothers funds, but
the charge was stoutly denied, and
Kokas, with his companion, returned
to Grangeville SATURDAY. evening, and
arranged for shipment of the body,
which had been in the local under
taking parlors for ten days.
READY FOR COFFIN
As the body was being prepared for
the coffin, the brother observed
necktie bandaged on one of the dead
man s legs. His curiOusity was aroused,
and the bandage was removed. In the
lining of the tie, and securely wrapped
around the leg, were found thirteen
$40 bills and two So bills, total of
$40. Kokas retained the money, APP
parently satisfied with the discovery.
