MANY VOTERS not
YET QUALIFIED
BOOKS WILL CLOSE ON APRIL 5
VOTERS SHOULD READ RUL-
ING Of ATTY GEN'L.

Many who intend to vote in the
coming county and state primary have
been surprised to learn that they are
not properly registered, Or not regis
tered at all, as is required under the
recent ruling made by Attorney Gen
eral T. S. Fielder.
In brief, this ruling is that every
one who wishes to qualify to vote in
any of the county or state elections
for this year must have qualified for
such elections by registering since
October l of last year, at some time
prior to the expiration of the time
fixed by the democratic executive
committee for the closing of the reg
istration books for the approaching
county primary.
1t will be seen from this that those
who registered for last years elec
tions have not registered for the cleo
tions that come this year unless they
have appeared at the tax collectors
office in person and affixed their
names to the registration lists since
the first of last October, which was
the time at which taxes were due.
| 1t is known that but few have reg
istered so as to qualify for this years
elections by entering their names at
the time that they paid their taxes
since last October /. For this reason
! it is true that majority Of the voters
of the county have not registered in
