The names in the following list "Who Can Vote" are presented in the order that they were listed in the original article. The list of registered voters in alphabetical order follows the list as it was originally published in the newspaper. I wish to extend my thanks to those who helped type these lists: Alvie Davidson, Tony Murdoch, Ronda Walker, Cheryl Sivers and Marta Metcalf. Thanks to all. Carol Castillo Heller, cjbr@proaxis.com . Article #1: ONLY VOTERS CAN HOLD OFFICE. From Tampa Journal, Feb. 27, 1889. It has been decided by the lawyers and the city authorities that a man cannot vote at the coming municipal election who has not paid his poll- tax for 1890 thirty days prior to the election. If the payment of a poll-tax is a pre-requisite to voting it is also a pre-requisite to office holding. Section 3. Of the City Charter reads as follows: " Be it further enacted, That the government of the said City shall be vested in a Mayor and 11 Councilman, to be called the City Council of Tampa, who shall be legal voters of the said City, two of whom shall be elected from each ward of said City and the remaining three from the City at large." Therefore, it will be a waste of time and energy for those who have not paid their poll-tax as the law requires to enter the race for any office. An "outline of their policy," if elected, however good it might be will avail nothing as they can not be elected. No one can regret the effect of this law more than the JOURNAL as there are several of our best citizens who will be disfranchised from voting and prevented from serving the city in official capacity, whose votes and services are both needed.
