Vote carly, vote late, and vote as often ag you can, is applicable in the case of property owners who may vote in each ward they own property. For in- stance, if John Smith has property in each of the three wards he may vote three times. The reason for this is plain when un- derstood. It would be manifestly unjust to bar a man from voting in a ward where he owned property, just because he did not live in that ward. His in- terests are there and the law holds that he shall have one vote in each of the wards in which he owns property to say who shal] represent his interests. The work of registering voters went forwrrd rapidly yesterday and today, owing tothe fact that the books clos today. Everyone wio has not registered who is a householder should do so this afternoon, or else they will not be en- titled to vote in the next municipal election.
