one more day assigned for the registra |
tion of voters under the new ballot law |

election in this state The voters are
coming up very slowly TO be registered

not made before the board Of registra-
lion sits TO act on final appeals that not
more than three-fourths of the voters
Of this district viii be entered. A great
many of the old citizens got the idea
that they have terrible ordeal TO go
through in being entered as qualified
voters, and there Is fear that an ordi-
nary secrecy of their ballot will not be
preserved by the working of the new law
at the general election. With these two
Ideas IN view they have refused TO 60
either to the registration window or the

for Road Commissioner John M. Collins
and Candidate for Assessor James f.
Cannon. Mr. Cannon is a young and
popular Republican, who has never
before received any compliment or re

successful opponent was elected in the
dicker for certain element of the voting

the most popular men In the hundred
and. when nominated at the last general
election, came so near being elected that
1t required the action of the board of
canvass TO decide it. He was not in il
with the machinery, however, and wilt
simply have his trouble for his pains
Tho vote in detail was as follows:
