The showing is also I a most excellent one as compared with | the poll. The party workers there now will not have much to do. further than watching those who move, and getting in the few who were missed Thursday. Miss Florence Wattles, of Elwood, registered Thursday.

It’s a good record and the workers are feeling good over the result. It should be an easy matter to get in the rest of the vote. In Decatur the registration is equal to ninety per cent of the vote cast two years ago. Os course that vote was ’ the usual off-year light one, but the showing was splendid. — HOME FROM HOSPITAL. XV.
