A matter of interest which gives food for thought to prohibitionists and dispensaryites alike came to light Monday, when in looking over the registration books the supervisors of registration found that at least 21 name? had been added to the Oswego precinct book by someone, without their knowledge. The names were presumably added to the book in the dispensary election last August by the managers of election.at Oswego. Some of the 21 names were added ^o- the book, although they were al? ready on it, the reoeon for their ad? dition being unknown. At Oswego the vote was 22 for pro? hibition and 2 against it and ther^ is ia possibility that this irregularity, if it occurrod at that time, as the super? visors of registration allege, would hav_e been sufficient probably changed the election.. Quite often, through Ignore I managers of election add nann registration books, but this was done on the most wholesale scale known ofUy the supervisors of registration. Mrs. J. J.
