LIGHT REGISTRATION OF VOTERS FIRST DAT.

Farmers Not Turning Our and Hardly One-Third of Voters Register In Jasper County. Indiana la getting its first experience with registration today and it is not proving very popular. Apparently there will be less than one-third of the vote out for this registration. In Rensselaer up to 2 o’clock today the number who had registered was as follows: Precinct No. Reg. Vote 1910. No. 1 ...80? ...241 No. 2 ....'. .88.... 290 No. 3. .......... .54..... . 175 No. 4 95 209 It will thus be seen that about onethird the vote was out tor registration at that time. Very few country voters were coming in, in fact, it was reported at one precinct that aside from the three members of the board . there had been but one farmer register up to 2 o’clock. In another precinct only six farmers had registered. The vote from the country precincts, as nearly as could be learned, was very light At Parr, .in south Union township there were 44 registered at 2:30 o’clock. The vote in 1910 was 148. In north Union 17 had registered at 11 o’clock. There were 119 votes in 1910 In west Barkley only 14 had registered at noon. The vote in 1910 was 121.
