LAW TALKS
To k|WAN|S

Many interesting details of elec-
ton machinery were outlined to
members of the Kiwanis club at
their weekly luncheon today by Ed
Law, county clerk. William Mea-
CHER was chairman of the day.
In outlining the processes of elec-
tions, Law stated, many necessary
precautions must be made, some of
which are unknown to the average
voter when he stamps his 'x' on
the ballot he takes with him into
the voting booth on election day.
He said it costs about so cents to
get each voter to the polls and
considerably more to handle abb
sentee voters.
Law stated that the county is
forced to carry several people on
the registers who had moved away
or died. This action is in conform
ity with the permanent registration
laws.
He claimed that this clause in the
election laws was really worse than
no registration at all for the reas-
on that it allowed persons in for
eign countries the right to vote by
means of the absentee ballot.
Registration in Imperial county
has increased every election year,
Law stated, until this year it has
reached it's peak. There is no way,
he said, of discovering how many
Of these people now registered have
moved away or are dead but he
felt it would be safe to estimate
this number at several thousand.

At PORTLAND

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 3. UR)-
A riot between 40 non-union long
shoremen and about $50 union
men. broke out at a neutral hiring
hall today and was stopped only
after a large squad of police, sum-
moned for early duty because of
President Roosevelt's visit, were
rushed to the scene.
The hall was ordered closed by
police Captain Harry Niles and it
was announced no efforts would be
made to dispatch any more long
shoremen to jobs today.
The clash did not stop entirely
waterfront activity as about 800
men had already been assigned to
ships.
A number of both union and
non-union men were injured and
bruised and one non-union man
was sent to a hospital with what
appeared to be a broken jaw.
The fight occurred when the
non-union men gathered a few
blocks away from the hall and at
tempted to go there for job assign
ments in a body. They said prev
ious attempts by individuals to
reach the hall had resulted only in
beatings at the hands of the I. l..
A. memfArs.
Because police will be needed for
regular police and traffic work in
connection with the President IS
visit, Niles said he could not spare
men to watch the hall and forbade
it to open before Saturday.
