mary by Affidavit Any

any however, that have neglec ed to

from Secretary of State Martindale, will
explain this provision, but it must be
born in mind that this must be attend
ed to prior to June 26. After that date
it will be impossible to become enrolled
and participate in this primary.
"No elector shall be deemed a quail
fed enrolled elector who has not enrolled
since August /, 1911" says Secretary
Martihdale ia a formal statement. "In
mauy cases it will not be convenient for
an elector to appear before the beard IN
person on April | and the law provides
that an elector may enroll at any time
by delivering, ln person or by mail, to
the city or township clerk, or the officer
in charge of the enrolment book, a
written request for such enrolment, &C
compared by affidavit setting forth that
he is qualified elector aud that it ie
his bona fide intention to affiliate with
the political party with which he
seeks to enroll.

who has not enrolled will not be per-
mitted 10 vote at primary election.

VIM. Rickerson last Monday evening, as

This gentleman has been member
of this order for 80 years and is a valued
member of Paw Paw lodge No. Is. A
beautiful ring was left as remem-
brance of the occasion.
The evening was spent with cards
and conversation and a luncheon was

The following story is told by an early

whelmiugly defeated in the election last
Monday by vote of nearly two to one.
1t carried in only four precincts IN the

people thought the question would carry

the vote would he so strong against it.
Even in Paw Paw where it was thought
