An invasion of Manhattan by 70 Bronx politicians and officeholders is expected by the election officials before Aug. 4, 1913, the last day upon which voters In the fall elections may quality as residents of New York County. The reason for the evacuation of Bronx | County fs that these 700 big and little | officeholders want to keep thelr jobs, It was pointed out to-day by Deputy | County Clerk Selden that Bronx is now! a de facto county, having a separate election system. The law provides that @ voter must be a resident of the State | one year, of the county three months and of the eleotion district thirty days.

Once he paid three dollars a week for oard (but not in New York by a darn sight). Now he pays $f in New York. Once his girl got a halt- mighty dollar that frowningly for- bids an indulgence of the natural yearning for marriage, The average youth is not going to make his con-* dition worse by shouldering peavier burdens; and even If he were willing to do go, natural delicacy would re- { strain him from asking a girl to share such an existence, Moreover, he hag a stern object desson in the cases of many of his friends, who have married and whose lives of privation und suffering lends ‘that atate a rather bleak aspect.
