NEW REGISTRATION
Office of. the Registrar Will Be in the
Court House-Features of the Enact
ment.

AS provided by statute registration
of the qualified voters is required every
four years.
The Registrar for the parish of Cad
do, appointed by Governor Sanders, is
Marmaduke Ward, whose office will be
in the court house It will be opened
within ten days. He is awaiting the ar
rival of the books and paraphernalia
which is furnished by the. State from
Baton Rouge.
There are several important features
in the law, one being the political classi-
6cation of each individual registered.
In the future it will not be possible fo1
a Republican or Socialist or one of an
other party to vote in Democratic pri-
mary. Whenever Democratic primary
is held there will be furnished the com
missioners of election the names of reg
istered Democrats only.
The same rule will apply in the event
the Republicans should hold a primary
election or a nominating convention
This rule will apply to all political or
CARNATIONS
Under such systme much of the con-
fusion and doubt and necessity for chal-
length viii be eliminated. In the here
after only registered Democrats will be
recognized and permitted to vote IN I
Democratic primary election.

ENCOURAGING, VERY.

1t is pleasing to say that some of the
big taxpayers have assigned to the Fair
Association their share of the tax voted
to the Shreveport and Northeastern rail-
way. AS already explained, this tax
collected aggregates about $4,000, and
is held by the city. If it should be ap-
piled, as has been planned by the Fair
Association, the claims against the Fair
grounds property will be liquidated, the
Fair grounds will become the property
of the city, the taxpayers will be stock
holders in the association and share its
profits, and there will be the assurance
OF annual fairs without interruption.
The more the proposition is considered
the more It is viewed with favor. The
encouragement given is an assurance Of
its success
