ABOUT 1000 VOTERS
REe|STRAT|OlllIS1

With registration of voters; closed
Friday evening, 1t is estimated that
probably 1000 electors in Powder
River county have qualified 70 vote at
the primary election August 80.
At the general election held sin this
county in November 1920, a total Of
LASS votes were polled cut of pos
sible list of 2.254 electors who were
registered. Many Of the names on the
registration list. however, were Of
people who had voted at the ;preced-
ing election and had since removed
to ether places but ther names We're
still carried as eligible voters.an
Electors who were in thesTcounty
but did not vote at the last general
election were dropped from the reg
istration lists and did net he1a.as,s css-
gible uni ess they re-registered. Many
OF them failed to thus qualify Cor the
primary election August 20. this year
but they may re-register at any time
for the November general election.
In Rowder River county this year
there will be no election for state SEN
ator or clerk Of the district court,
the present 'ncumbents having been
elected two years ago to four-year
terms. While two years ago >.hree
commissioners were elected to the six
four and two-year terms. starting
with this election year one commits
sioner's term will expire every two
years with the vacancy to be filled by
electing q commissioner to the six
year term.

entry of Nonpartisan candidates or
the Democrat ticket. Partly for that
reason the Republicans were abe to
muster the largest vote. With the
