City Clerk COyell Sees Record
Breaking Registration.
WOMEN "UP ON THEIR TOES"
Scores of Them Call Clerk,
Office Daily.
One Says She Must Vote to Pre-.
serve Domestic Peace.

Prospects are bright that the regis
tration in Topeka this year will break
all previous records, according to Miss
Eta NJ. Covell, city clerk.
The interest now evinced in the
coming primaries by both voters and
candidates would indicate that regis
tration will certainly equal, if not sur
pass. the state and county election of
1914, when 25,02S persons were regis
tered in the city. This is more than
half the population of the town, if the
census figures are to be relied upon.
Registration Law Strict.
For the presidential election of 1916
there were 24,400 persons registered
These two years marked the crest of
the registration figures in the city S
history.
Topekans will have from March /
to July % in which to register for the
primaries. 1t will be necessary for
every one who desires to vote to go
in person to the city hall for registra-
ton, according to the terms of the new
law. Not since 1905 have qualified
voters who have not failed to vote at
each general election been required to
do this.

1t is evident the women of Topeka
are going 20 take a large hand in poll

interest at present. Scores of telephone
calls come to the city clerks office
each day from persons inquirine

are from women.
