Voters Who Appear at Primaries
WILDE Registered for Spring
and Fall Elections
REGISTRATION ROLLS FAULTY
Hundreds of Qualified Voters Are Not
On the Old List and All of These
Should Register at the
Primary Election

Don't lose your vote. The all wise
Democratic administration in Charge of
the affairs Of Kenosha has decreed that
there is to be no registration of voters
this spring before the spring election
and these men are counting on the chao-
lie condition Of the registration lists to
cause many a bonafide voter to lose his
vote at the primaries and the spring
election. Every man who has been in
the city for one year and in the pre-
Cinct in which he lives for ten days has
a right to vote at the primary election
and it should be distinctly understood
by these voters that voting at the pri-
mary election on March "a will register
them for the city election and for the
more important national election to be
held next November.
The law provides that the elector
must have lived in the State of Wis
consin for a year, in the county for
thirty days and in the precinct for ten
days and any man who has fulfilled
these requirements has right to vote
in Kenosha regardless Of the defects Of
the registration lists
The registration lists are found to be
in frightful condition and in some of
the wards there are nearly as many
unregistered voters as there are regis
tered ones. These voters must insist on
their rights at the spring election and
the best way to get in line for the
spring election is to vote at the primary.
This is a registration that can not be
denied the people of the city and every
voter should take Advantage Of this
chance to get his name or the list and
save tine trouble Of being forced to
make out aff.davits Of his age and resi-
dence at the time of the city election.
The officials this year will see to it
that the polls at the different precincts
in the city are opened at six o'clock
and kept open until seven in the even
ing ard notwithstanding that there will
be large number to vote in some Of
the wards, there will be plenty of time
to receive and count all Of the votes.
The4unregistered voters in the city
have been asking many questions in re-
gard 10 their vote and it is certain that
they are not being given great deal
Of encouragement by the political rings
but these people should advise them
selves of their rights and act accord
ingly.
The big light on between the candi-
dates for the nomination for mayor in
both the Democratic and Republican
camps is going to have the effect Of
bringing out pretty close to the full
vote at the primary election and this
will mean much for future elections as
it will give the city one Of the best
registrations possible to obtain. The
old lists contain the names Of voters
who died soon after the last election
and many people who moved from the
city years ago. The only beauty of
these lists is that the political heelers
know just where most Of the registered
! votes stand and for this reason they
are anxious to keep the unregistered
voters out Of the contest.
Just paste it in your hat to get out
to the primary and you will be assured
a vote at the City Election. The pri-
naries are held in all the wards Of the
city on March "a.
