Thia ruling comes | up under an old statute, which reads aa follows: “All electors residing in tbe town or incorporated city which is tbe county seat, and where the county clerk of tbe county court has his offlee, shall personally appear in tbe clerk's office and comply with tbe provisions of this chapter, iu order to register. The board of county commiMionert shall furnish the county clerk of the county court all necessary assistance to enable i him to carry out the provisions of this chapter.” jt is evident that the author of this clause did not have in mind a city of the size of Portland, or the suffragette vote. It is highly unreasonable and should be amended to permit of regis- ! tration places in manv parts of the j city. FRED KN AB JR.
