Cost of Primary Elections Registration in Lake County.

Crown Point Star. Lake county’s political expense -will be enormous this year. After the primaries are over, Which will cost about $12,000, then will come registiiation day with another expense of the same amount and later on the general election with fully as large a cost, the three costing approximately $40,000. The law provides but for one registration day this year, thirty days before election, but upon petition of three hundred voters an additional day can be set apart, giving two days on which to register. Owing to the large vote in Lake county it is generally believed that a petition will be presented to the county commissioners asking for two separate registration days—one sixty and ■the other thirty days before election. In the event that an additional day is made the election expense for the year will go up at least SIO,OOO more, making the total in the neighborhood of $50,000.
