DON’T MOVE.

Any one who desires to vote at the election in November should not move 'from one township to another between now and that time. In fact the time expired last week. The law requires a residence of 60 days in the township and Sept. Bth was the last day,’ as the election occurs November Bth. The law requires a residence of 30 days in the precinct, and Oct. Bth is therefore the last day on which you can move from one precinct to another the same township without losing the rigltf to vote. Remember the residence qualifications of a legal voter are six months in the state,' sixty days in the township and' thirty days in the precinct. i

Is Still Occupying the Attention Of The Puplic and Is Likely To Be Investigated. It is reported that Prosecutor Longwell will investigate the alleged actions of a member of the Wheatfield school board, which was mentioned briefly in Wednesday’s Democrat, and whose refusal to resign at the demand of other officials of Wheatfield and the public generally is doing much to injure the schools. If the charges are true, someone ought to be punished, and if untrue G. D. Anderson, the accused member, should be exonerated. The whole community up there is wrought up over the alleged occurrence and the school teachers, it is reported, refuse to go to Anderson’s office to sign up their contracts. Anderson denies the allegations, but would have listened to the public demand that he resign, it is said, but for his attorney, who advises him to stand pat. The end is not yet.
