<br />"They have such refined and delicate palates
<br />That they can discover no one worthy of
<br />their ballots,
<br />And then when someone terrible gets elected
<br />They say, There, that's just what'I expected!"
<br />Ogden Nash, 1902-1971
<br />RConsider this issue of the Town Crier to be a
<br />"get out the vote" issue. If you are not al-
<br />ready registered to vote, you can do so on
<br />E election day, November 79 at your polling place.
<br />A college student away at school may register
<br />at his school precinct or vote by absentee
<br />• •
<br />ballot.
<br />• • • After all the trouble Ramsey County had
<br />with the absentee ballots in the primary, per-
<br />haps some review of the system is called for.
<br />lIn order to vote by absentee ballot, you first have to make application for such
<br />a ballot. You can get these applications from'the County Election Bureau, Room
<br />185 City Hall, St. Paul, Mn. 551029 298-4'181. If you are not a registered voter,
<br />e sure and say so on this application. (If there's not a place for it, make
<br />a note. The gal at the Bureau said some of the new application forms were mis-
<br />rinted and the question about being registered or not was left off by mistake.
<br />1pood grief.
<br />Anyway, once you return this application, you will receive. your absentee
<br />ballot, plus the form to register to vote if that was requested. You must do
<br />our absentee voting in the presence of a Notary Public, a U.S. Postmaster or
<br />clerk in charge of a postal station, or any officer having authority to admin-
<br />ister an oath. It's also OK to vote in the presence of any eligible voter from
<br />tour own county that has voted in the last four years. The only trick to all
<br />his is that you have to allow enough time for your ballot to get back to the
<br />County and then from there to your precinct by November 7•
<br />If you know you will be out of town on election day, you can go down to
<br />'the Courthouse now, make your application for absentee ballot, get it right
<br />there, and vote, all at once. The absentee ballot voting booths will be open
<br />at the Courthouse weekdays after October 30, plus Saturday morning on Nov. 4.
<br />Now, if you get really jammed up for time and are confused by all this,
<br />Charlotte McNeish, our Clerk -Administrator at the Arden Hills Village Hall has
<br />said that she will also have a supply of absentee ballots on hand. She will be
<br />ilad to assist you in any way she can, so if you have a voting problem, just
<br />give the Village Hall a call, 633-5676•
<br />' As you all probably know, the election on November 7 will decide for
<br />Arden Hills who will be mayor for the next two years. The two candidates for
<br />Lhis office are the incumbent,Henry J. Crepeau, Jr. and the challenger Maryann
<br />enson.
<br />There are also two council seats to be filled this election, each of them
<br />running for four years. We have six candidates for these two positionss in-
<br />cumbents Bob Woodburn and Charlie Crichton, plus challengers Howard Pipkorn,
