The waste paper inventories of

Clerk Points to Possibility
of One or More Special
Elections
Naming Of New Congressman
May Call for One or Two
This Year

The number of elections in
Montana this year will depend or
action taken at the present legiS-
lative session. it was pointed out
this week by Stephen Weber, county
clerk and recorder, in warning that
registration for city and town
elections closes Feb. 16.
City and town elections will be
held in Glasgow, Nashua and
Opheim on April 2. Those who voted
in the general election last Novem-
Der need not re-register. However,
new residents, those who have met
age or other qualifications since
that time or those who did not vote
must re-regiSter to be eligible to
cast ballots. School district elections
win be held on April T..
Mr.. Weber pointed out that there
is a possibility of two or ever three
special elections. Procedure to be
followed in re-electing a successor
to the late James F.. O'Connor,
representative in congress from the
eastern Motana district, has not yet
been determined. 1t is not known at
this time whether a primary election
will be held to select party nominees
for the position or if the parties will
hold conventions to make nominal
tons.
Also, it is probable that a special
election will be held on the question
of issuing state debentures for
Montana'S postwar highway con-
struction program. Some legislators
in Helena are advocating a COM
bination of the congressional and
debenture polls.
Mr.. Weber also pointed out that
those who voted by absent voters
ballots in November need not re-
register, as was previously required.
Their names remain on the regis
tration lists under a new state law.
