Registration for the primary nom inating election in April began today when County Clerk Ed Wr'sht openel the- registration books at the court house. A campaign to get the voters of the county on the registration books will be aki, for the presiden tial election next fall will of course bring out a larme voting contingent and the full voting strength of the county should be shown on the regis tration ' bookB. The books which opened today will remain open until April 9th at which time they close for the primary elec tion, to be re-opened as soon as the primary is over. This will be' on April 24th and from then on until May 15, when the voteis can again regis ter for the fall election. "Tn view of the fact that this is pres idential year County Clerk Wright an ticipates a large registration. "Reg istration blanks have been sent to all outlying precincts and voters can reg ister before the Justice of the peace of their respective districts at any time, but in La Grande it will be nec essary to appear before the county clerk to dispose of this highly im portant matter. Those who have In the past years been inconvenienced and detained and worried over the lethargy of others ore going to make themselves com mittees of one this year to got'out a bigger reglBtrationt It Is frequently a fact that some chesty voter aBserts he is too busy to register but when the election time comes around he Is required to impose o:i iplx freehold ers to upend several minutes and un dergo Inconvenience that the chesty one may cast his vote. "Tt Is indeed a most Important proposition and any nerson who is not considerate enough 'of others' bood nature to attend to registration needs retouching along the line of good manners," is the way one politician sized the matter up to day.
