Paupers and persons under guar- dianship cannot vote, though pauper- ism does not exclude men who have served in the army or navy of the United States, In the time of war. and have been honorably discharged therefrom.
WOMEN. - Women may vote for members of the school committee on the same terms as those prescribed for men.
NOMINATIONS.
For the privliege of nominating candidates at a regularly constituted convention to secure places on the of-
ficial ballot, a party must have cast at least three per cent. of the total vote at the last preceding election. Through this law, only Democrats and Republicans can at present nom- inate as above. All others have to secure names upon a petition, thus obtaining places on the official ballot by what are called nomination pa- pers. For a State office the requisite number of names Is one thousand, and this number is proportionately reduced in city and town nomina- tlons. In 1895 the following provi- slons were so far modified that a party which at the preceding five elections had cast as large a number of votes as was necessary to nomi- nate for that office might nominate in the same manner as those casting a three per cent. vote.
