for Coming
With the time for closing the registration books almost at
hand it has been discovered that up to this date the registra
tion for the municipal election to be held in December has been
almost neglected.
Up to last evening according to Registration Clerk John
H'ailey Jr., only 360 voters had enrolled. There are approxi
mately 2000 voters in the city and hence it may be seen that
80 rje'r cent of the Qualified voters have not yet registered.
During the day yesterday only
record should be continued until
total registration would be 525 or a trifle more than 25 per cent
of the city's voting strength.
It is desirable that those not having registered do so at once
as there are indications of a grand rush for the last day or two
of the registration period. By registering now this rush may
be avoided and at the same time the task of enrolling the voters
will be made easier for the registration clerk.
Those not registered will have to be sworn in on election
day in order to vote. This will necessitate trouble for the voter
which may all be avoided by registering now. The registra
tion place is in the city hall.
Register at once so as to be qualified for voting at the city
election. All local citizens irrespective of property qualifica
tions vote at city elections.
