Under the terms of; the order any person in the military or naval service of the United States, who is absent from his election district on that day ‘may -vote by mail. To do so, however, the absent voter must first make an application for ballots in a form.prescribed by said order; he must also isubscribe to the oath printed on|. the back of such form and mail the application and-oath to the - COUNTY AUDITOR OF THE:COUNTY in which he:is entitled to vote. ' The aunditor will then mail the voter the necessary ballots to be marked by himj and the envelopes within: which to mail the same to the electionijudges, with full -instructions as to the procedure to be followed. Friends and relatives of agl;%ers and sailors are requested to procure and mail the blank” “applications for ballots” to them. When sending a blank to:your boy rinclude several others, to the end that he may hand the extra copies to other Minnesota voters who may not otherwise be ‘supplied. When possible, persons sending these blanks to absent vo- ters should ascertain and inform the voter the proper descrip- tion of the election’precinct in which the voter for whom it is intended :will be entitled to vote. ‘He may not know or remem- ber the ward and precinct humber in which he has his resi- dence. 'This is especially true: as to voters residing in cities having many election distridts.” Attention to this. matfer on the part of the ‘“folks at homile’,"‘will greatly facilitate the work of the county auditor.and insure:the proper casting and count- ing of the absent voter’s ballot.: Blank “applications for bal- lots” may be had without charge by applying to the county auditor or the secretary of the’ Minnesota: Commissién of Public Safety. It is also intended to supply them.to the banks and newspapers of the state for i distribution:” ° % Rl It is also important that these blank applications should be gotten into th&hands of the absent vaters at-oncey . The county, auditors will be very busy’in getting out election"supplies dur=j: ing the twenty days immedjately preceding June 17 and so far as the matters above referred to can: be.attended to before June 1 to that extent efficient: attention to his duties under the order will be insured. Err i - 0— : -GUARD SHOULD BE MAINTAINED . ‘Minnesota’s: contingent’of the home guard, officially desig- nated as the Fourth Regiment, will undoubtedly be -made the basis ofan ‘argument for the establishment of a permanent state constabulary. A bill for its creation may not .come up before the expected speciali session of the “legislature, but it _will undoubtedly be one of the features of the next’session of the legislature. The cost of the: home guard at present is met jointly by the state and those protected and it is desired 'to shift the latter burden. Twin City papers are now:agitating the creating of a state constabulary. —————— The farmer who is unwilling 'to raise $2.25 wheat should ask himself the question if he is Willing to exchange places with his boy who is facing German bullets for $30 a month.
