"If he voted In November, 1016. or

this is done only upon his own re¬

quest or failure to comply with eomenew registration requirement, anduntil this happens he continues toclaim residence eleewhere than in theDistrict of Columbia, and Is, there¬fore, barred from the office of a Com¬missioner of the District of Columbiaby the ait of Congress recited afore¬said."The bar may even he raised hlRh-

er, for the declaration of an intentionto vote, the payment «>f a poll tax, thelisting of the name at a primary elec¬tion without ever an exercise of thefranchise would be a claim of resi¬dence sufficient to exclude under theact of 1878.

Van Schaick, Jr., more clearly sus¬
