IT NO FRA I'D IS INTENDED WMV
DOES THE KEPl'BLICAN COM
MITTEE OBJECT TO INSPEC
TION OF BOOKS?
The purpose of a registration law
!s to limit the suffrage to those le
gally qualified to exercise i\—to
prevent illegal voting, and it Is th
duty not only of public officials, bu*
of every citizen, to see that the law
is obeyed. Registrars are appoint
ed to.list the voters. They are paid
by the people, and their aots are
subject to approval or disapproval
by therm, and the records are pub
lic records, and the tax payers have
‘he right to inspect these records.
The registrar for the fifth war 1
of this city J. T. Akers, wivo is also
dtv auditor, has made a list of vot
ers of that ward, but ho refuses to
allow anybody to see what names
he has on It. When asked why he
objects to citizens looking at his
1 st. he says the Republican oom.u t
tee objects to it. Does the Repub
lican committee pay for this list, or
<Jo the taxpayers of the couflfv?
Mr. A kern hat? been requested to
n ake a copy of his list, for which
he would b* paid, or allow some cit
izen, whose integrity could not be
due* tinned, to make a copy from his
list, but he refuses absolutely to
allow anyone to get tbM names, and
the only reason he /'ves is that the
Republican committee would no;
app-ove his g.ving out the names
on his books. He admits that It la
no violation of the law to furnish
t’.ir names.
Voters of MerCer county do you
approve of such conduct? Will you
icfaiTi In power men who have no
regard for the r ghts of the people?
