The Dollar Fee Required 10 Registering
Tho new registration law was conceived
with an idea to cheat Republican voter
oat Of their franchise which no is supposed
to enjoy under this free government o.
'ours Democratic register officers will
NOS have to SGT up late at nights studying
its intrieaeiea They will DO instructed in

CURED OF them. The Dover Index says
The general ignorance on the subject ha.
OF necessity arisen from tho fact that the
law itself in printed form has not yet been
distributed. The registration laws and
the election and ballot laws have been
printed In pamphlet form and will be
ready for distribution at the end Of the
week" The registration officers In each
election district must sit according to the
Law Tor the purpose Of registering voters on
i've days. These days in the present year
are Saturday, the sixth day of August;
Saturday, the thirteenth day of August !;
Saturday, the twentieth day Ct August;
Saturday, j the seventeenth day Of Septom.
Der, and Saturday, the twenty second day
Of October The hours OF sitting OH each
Of the days named are from clock in the
morning to in the evening, with an inter-
mission from u toll,
The old fashioned way Of giving notice
Of the sitting Of the Registrars is still ad-
hered to and hand bills will have to be
posted by them in ten Of the most public
places In their election district stating the
days when they sit for registration, ths
place for and hours Of sitting. The law
SECURES this notice 10 be posted ten days
before the day Of the first sltting-the six tn
VI August This Is somewhat similar to
the law requiring the county tax collectors
- post notice when they would sit to re-
ceive taxes, and then could never be found
by Republicans when they went to pay
their taxes.
The law says one thing and the Demo-
cratic Registrars can do as they please
about complying with 1t, at least that is
what they have done In the past The
most important duty in addition is that of
requiring each applicant to pay the fec of
enc dollar at the time of registering. The
laws say: mo applicant shall 10 held or
marked disqualified however, who pays the
lev, ana who 10 n male citizens, who IL p
years OF age at tho time Of the application
Or will be so on the day OF the Dc xt election
and who has resided for the past year in the
state, for the past three months in the
county and thirty days in the election ci,-
uict ami who, when challenged, shall take
Vie prescribed oath as to bribery" only
the applicant, a representative ofeach pc-
ptical party and the necessary witnesses
Tor each case are to be admitted 10 the reg

The law Is in fact the same "a it has
been since our voters have bsen required to
Get registered, tho only addition pei1g ths
