Motion by Mr. O'Neil, seconded by Mr. Johnston, that in all cases where
Petitions for Registration and Enrollment have been filed, or may hereafter be
filed, it is directed that where the return of the registry assessor shows that
the applicant has not been registered and enrolled, the petition shall be ac-
cepted and the name of the applicant, with designation of political choice, shall
be added to the registration list, and that in all cases where petitions have
been filed since Marsh 14, 1934, the date when registry assessors were at polling
places to revise and correct registration lists, and changes of political choice,
or affiliation, have been made on registration lists by clerks in the office of
the County Commissioners, the applicant having already been registered and en-
rolled as a member of a political party, that the requests on said petitions
for such change of political choice, or affiliation, be ignored and the lists
be restored, , or changed, to indicate the original choice of political party of
the applicant and that the registration lists, thus restored, be certified at
the proper time to Election Officers for use at the Spring Primary of May 15,
1934, and that in all cases where changes ha#e heretofore been made in regis-
tration lists, or petitions may hereafter be presented for change of political
