The Display Is Untqualed
Qualifications of Voters
The recent legislature passed a law
which goes into effect in July which is
very important to voters who do not
have thoir second papers of citizenship
When n foreigner takes out his first
papers ho may vote for five years by
virtue of those first papers then he can
take out his second papers If he fails
to take them out at the end of five years
he is not to vote until he does take them
out Heretofore men could vote with
out taking out their second papers but
they cannot do so after nest July
This is the information given by the
clerk of the district court Thus it
stands voters in hand to take out their
linal papers before another election or
run the ris k of being refused to vote
