New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1920-10-02
OVER 800 WOMEN REGIS
TERED IN IBERIA.

On Wednesday and Thursday,
especially, Registrar of Voters j,
A. Gonsoulin was exceedingly
busy accommodating the ladies
who had presented themselves at
his desk to register in time for the
Presidential election next month.
Already there are something like
three hundred who have been
placed on the rolls as qualified
voters and we presume many
more will follow suit before the
registration books are closed this
afternoon. So far, the ladies of
Jeanerette have taken the great
est interest in exercising their
rights of franchise, even though
thew reside some ten miles distant
from the Parish seat. There are
great number who will abstain
from registering until the books
are re-opened next year for the
reason that a complete new regis
tration of all Of the voters will
have to be made in accordance
with law. When the City election
takes place in New iberia next
July there will be but few of our
women who will not be fully quail
fled to cast their vote for the
next Commissioners. 1t is more
than probable having three offices
to fiji the ladies very probably
will Law claims to one of the po-
sitions. Some of our citizens
think otherwise, however. we will
wager a years subscription that
one of the three officials next
term will be member of the fair
sex.
