Show Voters To Choose Hew City Officers Tuesday; Registration Up, Interest "Kabool;" Balloting Procedure Explained Candidates Scratch Heads Over Issues; Voters Do The Same; Heavy Vote Urged ROOSEVELT'S municipal election, shoved rudely into the background by the deer hunt, will claim Tuesday, November 4 as its own. Nothing remains to challenge the naming of a new city governing body except a possible disinterested voter attitude. at-titude. District 2, erroneously listed as District 1 in the Standard a week ago, reported a total registration reg-istration of 389, 93 persons having hav-ing qualified as voters on Oct. 14 and 28. District 1, according to Mrs. Grant Killian, shows a total registery of 174 voters. Forty-three of these signed the book on the recent October registration reg-istration dates. If Roosevelt voters turn out enmasse they will cast a total vote of 563. y MEANWHILE the question of how to properly mark a ballot entered the scene. Judges of the 1945 city election recall that a number of ballots were declared illgal because of improper marking, mark-ing, accordingly local party leaders lead-ers are urging caution in the casting of ballots. A vote to be legal may, in simple terms, be cast in one of the following manners: If you are voting a straight ticket, either Peoples or Progressive, mark X in the circle below the party name. Forget the rest of it, you've voted, and any other mark appearing on the ballot will disqualify it. If you are voting for individual candidates, mark X in the square after the name of the candidate you prefer in this instance forget the circle, it will not do you nor your candidates any good, In the municipal election, the procedure has been outlined as follows: Candidates for the Mayor's post oppose each other vote for one; candidates for 4 year councilman, recorder and treasurer also oppose each other vote for one. But in the case of 2 year councilmen vote for any three you wish. The fact that Lawrence Pack's name appears ap-pears opposite the name of Joedy Harrison, on the ballot, does not indicate that Lawrence is opposing oppos-ing Joedy as a candidate. In the case of 2 year councilmen you vote for any three you want. It's a rough and tumble process, but that's the way it is. The polls District 1, the Grant Killian residence: District 2, the Municipal Building, will open at 7 a. m. Tuesday morning and remain in operation until 8 p. m. Don't forget it. i ROOSEVELT'S officials ballot bal-lot lists the following, any of which can govern the town for the next two years, voters willing: will-ing: Peoples Party For Mayor, J. V. McLea; For 4 Year Councilman, Coun-cilman, Lynn Nickell; For 2 Year Councilmen, Lynn Johnstun, Lawrence Pack, Sam Weiss; For Recorder, Gordon (Frontier) ' Harmston; For Treasurer, Arnold Reef. Progressive Party For Mayor, May-or, Homer P. Edwards; For 4 Year Councilman, Steve Bellon; For 2 Year Councilmen, Elmer (Bumps) Eldredge, J. H. Harrison, Harri-son, Norman Murphy; For Recorder, Re-corder, George Hacking; For Treasurer, Nobody.
