THOUSANDSQUALTFTED
TO VOTE ON FIRST
REGISTRATIONsDAY
Reports From ALI Sections Indicate
That Voters Registered In Large
Numbers Last Saturday.
SOS VOTERS REGISTER HERE
With No Concerted Effort To Bring
Out Voters Large Number Placed
Names On The Books.

Reports from all sections of the
state indicate that the citizens of
Delaware are awake to the fact that
it is their duty to register early and
take part in the Primary elections at
which the tickets for the various
parties are nominated. This was at
tested to last Saturday when the
first registration day for this year
gave them an opportunity to qualify
to vote at the General Elections in
November. From Wilmington to the
Maryland line the reports are the
same; that the registration was as
good or better than in 1920 for the
first days registration. Those plac-
ing their names on the registration
books last Saturday far Outnumber-
ed two years ago on the first day. At
that time, however, only q state cleo
tion was held and there is always
more interest in the national cleo
tiOns.
At Milford no concerted effort was
made by the leaders in either Of the
two major parties to get out their
voters. Notwithstanding this, the
men and women qualified in large
numbers. On the east side in North
Milford, the First of the Tenth Rep
resentative District of Kent County,
116 voters registered. This is a good
proportion. The district is not a very
large one. On the west side, the Sec
ond of the Tenth, the registration Of
ficers sat at Houston last Saturday.
This is the usual custom for that dis
trict. A total of 149 persons register
ed there. This district comprised the
colored section of Milford, and all Of
North Milford west of Walnut street.
No persons from Milford registered
last Saturday. They will be given
their first opportunity on Saturday,
August End The number qualifying
at Houston was above the average
for that place. On the Sussex Coun-
ty side. the First of the First Repre-
District, with a registra-
ton place at the Armory Hall, a to-
tai of $50 men and women registered
on Saturday. This is very good for
the first days registration. The total
number of voters in the district is
about 1900.
In some sections of the state the
women voters registered in large,
but in Milford the percent
age was very small. This is not
taken as an indication that the la
dies are not interested, however, but
that they neglected to qualify on the,
first opportunity given them.
There are four more DAYS on
which the voters may qualify for the
general elections; but only two more
On which they may register in time
% take part in their party primaries.
The next registration day will be
Saturday, August End It will be well
'or those who have not already reg
stored to do so at that time.

Dover on the charge OF changing
of automobiles. For this Of
fense he served a three months SEN
