Names Added u> Registration Book.
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.
