REGISTRATION FOR VOTERS WILL TAKE PLACE TODAY

Registration for all members of the University who are eligible to vote at the state elections to be held this fall on November 2 will take place today in the Brattle Square Fire Station, Brattle square, Cambridge, from 7.30 to 9.30 P. M., and all of this week, as well as Monday and Wednesday of next week, at the City Building, Central square, during the day and in the evening from 7.30 to 9.30 o'clock.

Requirements for Voting Privilege.

All members of the University are eligible to vote at the state elections provided only that they be over 21 years of age and residents of the state for one year, and of the city six months. To be a resident of Cambridge a man must have made his residence here in the city with the intention of making it his home for the time of his residence. It is not necessary that he intend to reside here permanently. The usual test of such intention is that he be in whole or in part self-supporting, though the mere intention to reside in Cambridge is sufficient. If the parents of a member of the University live outside the state, he is not excluded from registration if he has spent the summer also outside the state, provided he has lived in Cambridge the preceeding year with the intention of making it his home. It is not necessary that a man has paid his poll tax to register, as he may do so if accompanied by two voters from his ward.

Two Plans for Cambridge Government.

It is particularly important that all voters from Cambridge should register at this time, as they will be called upon to vote not only for officers, of the State of Massachusetts, including governor, party commissioner, representatives, etc., but on a plan to change the government of the city of Cambridge. This plan, known as Plan B, proposes to abolish the present system of electing 11 aldermen and 22 councilmen, and substitute in its place a single body composed of one alderman from each of the 11 wards and 4 elected at large. If Plan B is not adopted at the state elections this fall, Plan A will be put on the state ballot next year at this time.

This plan proposes to adopt a form of city government similar to that of the city of Boston. The mayor will have full control, and power to appoint all officers and city commissioners. To assist him a board composed of 15 aldermen at large will be elected, though their function will be chiefly advisory.
