The present outlook is that Mississ
ippi's new registration will be some.
thing Of disappointment, says the
jackson correspondent of the States.
Col J L. Power, secretary of the
State board Of election commissioners
predicted some time ago that the new
registration would show $50, 900 voters
in the State, and while this prediction
may be realized, the figure is not in any
sense satisfactory. Reports from the
various counties where the registration
books have been summed up show that
in some instances barely seYenty-fiye
per cent of the voters who participate
in the State and county primaries have
affixed their names to the registration
books. Lack Of interest in the national
and political questions is regarded as
the chief cause for the light registra.
