REGISTRATION WAS
NOT VERY HEAVY

Carl Ames. who has been looking
after this matter for the republicans
said today: we have much bigger
registration than the democrats. I
should say on a rough guess that the
republicans have 25 percent more OF
their vote registered than the demo-
Gratis"
The democratic organization does
not seem to have taken any steps to
get out the vote and have them regis
tered. Ames says that in the precinct
in Homewood there is $50 out of 21O
votes registered. and so Of them regis
tered yesterday.
There are other precincts in which
there IS heavy registration. 1t is in
the foreign localities that the regis
tration has been light and in which
desperate efforts are being made to get
out the voters.
Democratic county chairman Frank
Gavit said last night that he is satisfied
with the registration that has been
made Of democrats. eve were able to
get out most OF the voters" said he.
The Lake County times., 1912-10-08

was the last day Of the registration in

small registration. This has alarmed
the political leaders of both parties.

far it has been eonclusiveIy shown
that the farmers hesitate about coming
into the market fearing that they
would be unable to dispose OF their
goods and that the people of Hammond
would be only to willing to buy their
goods if they were given an oppor-

Some exceptionally nice garden truck

Smith Willis of Elysburg, pastor of
the Rush Baptist charge, was struck
by a pusher at Deibler's Station and
was instantly killed.
His discourse had been particu-
larly strong one, based on the fif-
teenth and sixteenth of the
fifth chapter of Ephesians. DWELL
ing upon the uncertainty of life, he
urged his flock to lead upright lives,
because even to those in the full
strength and manhood and woman
hood the grim reaper was always

The dead man was usually most
careful in crossing railroad tracks
and it Is thought a new overcoat he
was wearing for the first time, and
which had a heavy collar and eal
tabs, deadened the sound of the ap-
preaching train until it was too late
to get to safety. His carriage was
demolished and he was hurled up on
an embankment with his skull
crushed.
