Points Out
Montana Provides
Soldiers Ballots

HELENA-Montana does not need
a federal ballot for soldiers, Gov
Sam C. Ford declared in response
to a direct question on his stand
in the current controversy before
congress.
Il think the Montana law is far
superior to federal provisions be-
cause it gives the servicemen and
women a chance to vote for those
they know and are directly interested
in. namely. state and county candi-
dates" the governor declared, adj
vocating the adequacy of Montana's
wartime voting provisions.
Il am thoroughly convinced the
Montana law is workable and if we
a get a little cooperation from
the secretaries of the wal and navy
departments, we con get service
men and women from our state
registered and ballots to them in
time to vote.
From all information I have
received servicemen are just as
interested in, and in many cases
more in voting for state and local
offices as they are for presiden-
tial and other federal offices.
"Our law, passed at the last
legislature, allows ample time for
early printing of the ballots after
the July primary election. We will
have fully two months before the
general election to get ballots to
the servicemen. They will have a
and a half after the election
day to return them for counting"
Supplies already have been Sc
cured by Clerk and Recorder H. r.
Bjorklund so that Valley county
men can vote and a number
Of inquiries already have been
handled through his office.

Home Team Shows Up Better
in Victory Over Fast
Spartan Team.

A well deserved victory that de-
monstrated how far Bob Murray's
basketball squad has progressed

Glasgow defeat a strong Scobey
club, SO to 20, on the civic center
floor Saturday night. A measure OF
the advance made by the Scotties

A preliminary contest saw Huber's
Badgers run away from Yrs Bob

mine the championship of the Glas-

1t looked like a bad night for the
Scots when Scobey unleashed a
starting offensive that gave it an

passing game that bewildered their
opponents. Farrell led the attack
6 points, aided by Otto Bundy
and Williams. Glasgow led, 20 to

The home team increased its
the third period, allowing
Spartans but 4 points. a field

Bobby Williams big inning and he
counted 6 of the Glasgow points.

lever shots under the basket gave
glasgow a 1926 lead, but then the

time and brought the score 1927

NOTES
PROCEDURE IN
SOLDIER VOTE
Three Ways Montana Service
Men and Women May
Qualify.
Relatives or Friends May Aid
in Securing Ballots
for Fighters.

An outline of the three ways by
which Montana service men and
women may secure ballots under
the Montana soldier vote" law was
given this week by Clerk and Re-
corder H. r. Bjorklund, who urged
friends and relatives to take advan-
tage of the procedure.
Few requests for such ballots have
been received so far, the clerk said.
He added that supplies have been
printed and are now available at
his office. He stressed that the ma
chinery for voting set up in the law
applies only to those now in service.
Others must qualify to vote as pro-
vided previously.
There + three provisions under
Montana statute by which absentees
from the county, who are in the
army, navy or other val services,
may be registered.
Relatives May Apply
Relatives and personal acquaint-
anceS of service men and women
may execute an affidavit furnished
by the county clerk to be signed by
two electors, to the effect that they
know of his or her being in the
armed services, and furnishing the
military address. Upon completion of
such affidavit to the county clerk
and recorder, a war registration card
will be sent the absent elector.
In cases where the elector may
been registered but failed to
vote, or voted an absent ballot in
the last election, and his or her
name has been taken off the reg
istration list. two electors may like
wise execute an affidavit and re-
store the cancelled card to the active
file.
May Mail Request
Or any absent elector in military
may mail a post card to the
clerk and recorder, asking
hat a wartime registration card be
mailed to him or her. Bjorklund
suggested that when relatives or
friends are writing to anyone in the
armed services, they remind them,
If they are not registered to do so
by this means. Before anyone can
5ote, a state + county ballot he
must be registered. The deadline for
'egistration for the primaries is June
J, and for the general election the
date is Sept. %.
The county clerk suggested that
men and women home on furlough
nd leave check their registration
,tatus at the clerks office and reg
Ster in person if their names do not
ppear on the rolls.
