With registration of voters a
subject of several measures pend
ing in the legislature, the ques-
ton has been asked of the Secre-
tary of State: "How long has
Ohio had registration of voters?"
Actually, registration was first
introduced in Ohio before the
turn of the century although it
has been since 1900 that many
counties adopted registration in
part or in all of their precincts.
An Act of the General AS
sembly of May 4, 1885, was ap-
plicable only to Cincinnati and
Cleveland. In brief, it authorized
Council to divide into precincts
of 800 voters as nearly as prac-
ticable and to have registration
for each of the two opposing
political parties.
In 1885 this law was amended
and additional sections were
enacted establishing bipartisan
boards of elections to administer
the registration.
Later, board of elections were
established in each of Ohio's 88
counties. They are under the
direct supervision of the secre-
4or,r Of cto+a op5 fy-o Donopro+c
and two Republicans are ap-
pointed to each board by the
secretary of state, upon recon-
mendation of the party executive
committee of the counties.
There are now % counties
having registration throughout
the county and Is with registra-
ton in a portion Of the county.

BY August 5 all candidates for
township office and members of
a board of education are required
to file nominating petitions for
these offices. All candidates for
office in a village of under 1000
population, and all candidates
for office in a village of owe
1000 population who were not
required to file petitions in
February, will be required to file
their petitions by August S.
An elector may sign the
nominating petitions of candi-
dates equal in number to the
number of persons 10 be elected
to any one office. A part of the
nominating petition is the pledge
of the signer to the petition that
he will support and vote for the
proposed candidate at the cleo
ton, and that he has not signed
the nominating petitions of more
candidates for said office than
the number to be elected thereto.
The petition form carries a
place for the elector to insert
the date on which he signed the
petition. This date becomes of
vital Importance where an cleo
tor has signed more nominating
petitions for an office than the
number to be elected to that
office. Only the signature on the
first petition that the electoI
signed will be considered valid;
the theory being that on the first
petition he did not violate the
pledge that he signed, but on any
subsequent petitions he signed,
he did violate this oath. For eX-
ample. where an elector has
signed the nominating petitions
Of two candidates for the office
of township clerk, and there is
only one township clerk to be
elected, it is incumbent upon the
board of elections to determine
which of the two petitions the
elector signed first in point OF
| time.

Your Election Lows

Candidates who desired to be
Independent candidates for GER
tain municipal offices were re-
CURED to file their nominating
petitions on February A. These
nominating petitions are open to
public inspection from the 18th
day of June until 400 p. m. of
the both day of June. During this
period any elector may call at
the office of the board of cleo
tons and examine said petitions.
Prior to the 18th day of July,
each board of elections examines
and determines the sufficiency
of the signatures on the petition
Any qualified elector eligible
to vote for the candidate whose
nominating petition he objects
to, may file a written protest
against the nominating petition
at any time prior to 400 p. m.
of the 3Oth day of July. There
is no statutory requirement as to
the form of this protest except
that it is required to be in writ
ing.
A notice of the filing Of the
protest and the time and place
arranged for the hearing is sent
to the person whose nomination
is protested, and also to the per-
son who filed such protest. At
the time fixed, the board OF
elections, together with the
candidate and the professor, shall
hear the protest and determine
the validity or invalidity of the
petition.

Many people do not realize
that at least one and sometimes
many more elections are held
some place in Ohio every week.
The belief that boards Of cleo
tons have little to do between
the primary and general cleo
tons is erroneous. The truth is
that, under Ohio's laws, the
preparation for the regular elec-
tons requires an almost year
round activity on the parts of
the boards and this is, of course,
also true Of the secretary of
states office.
Only last month the May pri-
maries were held. But during
the month of June--within just
a short month of the primaries
10 special elections have been
held during June or will have
been held by the end of the
month. OF this number 5 were
on tax levies; Is on bond issues
and one on a special issue-city
charter government in Fostoria.
There r. many months, de-
pending on needs and circum-
stances, when more than 10
special elections are scheduled.
In addition to the receipt of
the necessary documents for
scheduling these special cleo
tons, many other preparations
must be made, including arrang-
ing for election officials, setting
up the polls, canvassing the
vote, making reports on same,
etc.
1t is interesting to note that
on the 1859 election calendar
there are 50 dates and items,
based on the Revised Code of
Ohio, which board of elections
must consider in connection with
the November election and SO
which are connected with the
primaries held last month. This
is proof that elections are a year
round business!

Outside of the South, liberals Of
both parties were elected TO office.
The returns may be interpreted
as indicating a trend away from
standpat conservatism not only in
civil rights but also in social wal
fare legislation. Even in the South,
Senators Albert Gore of Tennessee
and Ralph Marlborough of Texas,
both moderates, were elected over
opponents committed to defiance
of the United States Supreme
Courts desegregation DEGREES.
Negro citizens and others who
believe in implementation of the
Courts rulings and in the enact
ment of civil rights measures were
heartened by the election returns.
Already plans have been formu-
lated to secure congressional ac-
ton in support of the Supreme
Courts decisions as well as of
other civil rights measures.
Court Reaffirms DesegregatiOn
On Sept. 20, the Supreme Court
handed down a sweeping decision
re-affirming, simplifying and clar-
flying its historic ruling of May
IT, 1854, banning segregation in
public education. The decision
spelled the doom of the massive
resistance" to degeneration by
some Southern states. The Court
held unanimously that "the con-
stitutionaI rights Of children not
be Disseminated against in school
admission on the grounds of race
or color can neither be multi
fled openly or directly by state
Legislators or state executive or
judicial officers, nor nulhfied in
directly by them through evasive
schemes for segregation whether
attempted ingeniously or ingen-
uously'" The court banned the
use of public funds to support
private" schools.

The makeshift private schools into
which many Of them have been
herded do not appear to be meet
ing the standards required for
admission to colleges. The intransi-
gence Of the two governors is ex-
acting a tragic toll of the children
Of their states. A reaction against
this kind of sacrifice has already
been indicated by many Of the
parents as well as by the children.
Despite the school closings and
other attempts to evade integra-
ton of public school systems in
the South, the number Of desegre-
gated systems continued to in
crease in 1858 and now, according
to Southern School News, amounts
of 100 out of total of 1880 BIZ
racial school districts in the bord-
er and southern states. In 1858
there were more than 400 900 Ne
gro students enrolled in desegregat-
ed school systems as compared with
$4,000 in 1857. Meanwhile, an
other 100000 colored children
continued to attend compulsory
segregated schools.
