CLERK REGISTERS
1927 IN ONE MONTH
Gehlhar Finds Majority of Those Ap.
pearing Belong to Prohibition or
Republican Parties.

One thousand and twenty.One voters
registered at the county clerks office
during the past month, two.thirds be,
ing voters from the outlying wards,
and nine.tenths of them were women.
According to Clerk Gehlhar, the vote
at the special city election which takes
place September 10 will not be very
heavy. Out of the total number of
registrations for the city election
majority of them declare their politics
to be PrOhibitionist or Republican. A
few progressives are recorded, while a
number of Socialists and Democrats
appear. The registration for the Sep
tember 10 election closed yesterday at
5 o. o'clock.
That the county clerk and his force
have been very busy of late receiving
applications for registration can be
readily realized when the books show
that they came in at the rate of 60 a
day. Much red tape is necessary in
recording the names, and the details
connected with the new registration
law has resulted in the office being
swamped for the past two weeks,
