trhere wns d great ontponrlng Of

There was Il great outpouring of ~
ers at the registration places on SatlTs
day and il is estimated that over $500
citizens qualified to cast their ballots mt
the November election and the primaries
which procede it.
Two wears ago when the new registra-
tiOn law first went into effect requiring
citizens to register in August 10 be quail
fled to vote ut the primaries ana also
requiring Il registration fee of 81, the
people generally did not thoroughly I'M
derStand its provisions, and as result
many neglected to register until the last
days. The loss of their votes at the
primary taught them II lesson that they
We're careful 70 see that they We're IN
time this year.
While the first days returns last year
were little over 800. an estimate of yes
terday's registration based on the re-
turns actually received. puts the regis
tration in the city ut over $500.
The registration places opened at
o'clock Saturday morning and remained
open until o'clock that night.
The registration passed off very
smoothly, the registrars having no
trouble in getting answers to the neccS-
sary questions.
