The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1920-02-28

Theodore Robin appears on the list
of eligible voters. Knowing that no
man named Theovide Robin resided
in the Notleyxille precinct, the COM
missioners concluded, after discus
sion among themselves, that the name
Theovide had been written in error on
the list of eligible voters and should
have read Theodore instead of Theo-
vide. They, accordingly, permitted
Theodore Robin to vote, and in order
that their list might be like the list
of persons eligible to vote, entered
the name on the list of persons vot-
ing as it was entered on the list of
persons eligible to vote.
