ALL MUST REGISTER
General Registration Of Voters of
City and County to Be Held
Before Election Day
CLERK FINDS MORE TROUBLE

1 i
City Clerk Harrington has an.
nounced that it will be necessary tc
hold a general registration Of voters
this year and to this end an official
notice will be sent out in the<next few
days making primary day the first
! day for registration Of the voters.
The clerks will be IN charge Of the
election and at the same time in
charge of the registration for the
regular election to be held in Novem
Der. The attorney general of the
state has held that it is necessary to
register it you expect to vote at the
election. No registration of voters
has been. conducted since the election
of 1904 and the lists have seen many
changes in the past two years. In
other years the registration officials
have simply copied the lists on the
first registration day but in some
cases the attorney general has held
that It is illegal to copy these. lists
and~i it is possible that this kind of
work will not be recognized by the
city and county officials.
According to the primary election
law there should be two days for
registration, the one before the prim-
airy election and the day Of the
primary, but here the men who wrote
the primary law again showed their
lack Of discretion, as it must be re-
membered that Labor Day, legal
holiday, always falls on the first Mon
Eday IN September, and it will be
impossible TO have registration
board meet on legal holiday. Prim.
airy day is always the first TUESDAY
after the first Monday, so that it will
be a physical impossibi1ity to give the
two days for registration as the law
provides.
The city has not as yet taken any
steps to solveithis tangie, but it is
probable that some plan will be
worked out BY which two days will be
al owed for registration. One Of them
will be primary day and the other will
probably be set a week before the
general election.
The lists OF the voters in the differ
ent wards of the city are now decided
~ incomplete on account of the fact
that many new voters have come in
during the last two years. The names
of these men are on the poll lists but
they will not be registered unless the
men appear iii person and see to it
that their names are placed on the
lists.

Sheriff Veitch has not as yet re-
ceived any further word from Enid.

ley, wanted in Kenosha on a charge Of
murder. The sheriff sent Sheriff
Campbell, Of Enid, a complete de-
scription Of Bradley and also a card
Showing that a reward Of $500 had
been offered for his capture.
It was expected that the Oklahoma
officials would at once wire the Keno
sha officialsif they had thesright man,
and for this reason the sheriff and his
assistants are beginning to questioe
the identity Of the Oklahoma sus-
pect Another letter was sent TO
Sheriff Campbell today 9and it is ex-

Candidates Sending Personal
Letters to Voters in all Parts
Of County to Turn Out
RING is DOWN TO HARD WORK
If People Fail to Turn Ont There Will
be Little Chance for Indepen-
dent Candidates TO Secure
Nominations


With the primary election just five
| days away the candidates for nomina-
ton for Office are making a frantic
effort to stir Up some interest among
! the people OF the county and to this
7 end one Of the candidates This morn
| ing sent out a thousand cards asking
as a specie! favor that the voters turn
/ out 70 the polls and express their
sentiments.
So little interest is being taken ia
Behe primary ia Kenosha county that
& it is feared that unless the people get
busy during the next few days a com
paratively small ring Of politicians
will control the nominations. While
the primary law may be an unpopular
measure with many of the people of
1.-THE county, the Candidates who are
opposed to ring politics are urging the
/ people to get out and assist ia elect
ing men who will do something to get
rid of the law and place the nomina-
ton of candidates on some better
basis. The candidates declare that
there will be big vote in the city
but that In the rural districts the
voters are refusing to take any notice
(! cf the primary. The farmers are
busy with their corn and oats, some
of them are threshing, but most of
them are affected with a feeling of
disinterestedness
It is an off year in politics and IN
less something can be done to stir up
/ the people there will be less than half
vote in the county, and that will
mean that the men who have organ
/ lied the voters in cliques and rings
1 will control the nominations and will
Rdictate the names for whom the Re
pnblicans Of the county will have TO
vote if they stick to the old ticket.
The fact that there is a contest on for
several nominations has not aroused
the interest it Should as il IS apparent
that many Of the farmers claim not to
care who is nominated.
La the city the members of the ring
have been working night and day tc
line mp the men who will support
AAt-SS NuA1AdAlN59 di0 Ills WOlh Ids
been carried out into the county. L
Is claimed that the fact that there is
no contest among the Democrats Is
i.Dcing put to good use by the ringsters
and that they are planning to secure
many Democratic votes for Repub.
lican candidates. If the independent
voters Of the county turn out to the
primaries it will be an easy matter tc
rout the political ring, but if the peo-
pie + tay at home and allow the ring
sters to do all the voting the hold OF
the ring will be forged so strong that
it will take years TO break it.
In the rural districts the polls will
be open from sunrise until sunset and
every farmer should find time to vote
during the day. Ia the city the polls
will be open from 6 a. N. to z p. m.
The factories will not be shut down
on primary day but the men will be
given time to vote if they ask for it.

TWO sEEE DIVORCE
Former Residents of Kenosaa File
Petitions in Lake County

Former Residents of Kenosla File
Petitions in Lake County
Two divorce petitions we're fled ii
the Lake county circuit court yester-
day, both by women who claim to have
been deserted and both state they
have since their desertion been, forced
to work for their living and also for
their children.
The petition Of Mrs. Josephine
Williams Anderson is especially a
ssorrowful one.
It shows that she married her hus-
band in Kenosha in August Of 1890
and that they lived together until
1908 when he deserted her and she
has since been unable to learn of his
whereabouts. Since then she has
been forced to earn her living by day
work about town as well as that for
her four children and her invalid
sister. She asks the court for an in
junction to restrain her husband TAX
ing her household goods and her
schiidren in case be should return and
asks for the INJUNCTION without being
req uired to give bond.
\ ssThe second divorce also shows a
case where the couple met their fate
in Kenosha. Lizzie Mellan, of Wau-
.kegan, seeks a divorce from her hus-
band, Albert P. Mellan. She says
she r1arried him in December 1871 at
Kencsha and they lived together IN
1889 when he left her and has since
then neglected to support her. One
child, Matilda, is the result Of the
union.
