| Show IS IT FUNNY BUSINESS THE increased registration in this city would be matter for congratulation if it were a true indication f of an increase in the population and of political interest among the citizens doubt lees both of these causes have contributed to the results but we are am inclined to the belief that in addition to them what is called funny business PY 4 has been resorted to for the purpose of swelling the registration lists the net increase foots up 2850 2 names the largest increase is in the second precinct which furnishes additional voters there may possibly be nothing wrong in all this but it is something that ought to be investigated gated it would be interesting and perhaps profitable to find out whether all these newly registered names have owners who have resided in this city and territory for the periods required by law it will be remembered that the largest proportion of the names of persons who it appeared had n no legal right to vote at the last municipal election were found on the list of the second precinct there are am indications that work similar to that pe performed formed then is in progress now liow manipulated by the same wire pulling gulling fingers and with expectation of a similar reward we advise both republicans and democrats who want a fair deal to make diligent investigation of this matter and we warn every person who thinks he can figure in the fashion we have hinted at that this time he be will find bud out it to is in reality no funny business |
