REGISTRATION DEADLINE
Chairman McNeely pointed out
to all voters today that Saturday.
April 16, will be the last day to
register for the primary. He al
so reported that many people be-
lieve they're registered on the
county books and that this makes
them eligible to vote in the city
primary. This has led to some
confusion as to who is eligible to
vote in the city election.
Only the city books, not the
county. are to be used for the
primary, McNeely said, These
books are different from the
county books, and if any eligible
voter cast his ballot in the past
town elections, and has not NOV
ed from his ward since that time,
he can vote in the primary.
1t is understood the Republi-
cans will not offer a city ticket
in opposition to the Democrats.
