Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 263, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 November 1916 — Voters Should Go Early to The Polls Next Tuesday. [ARTICLE]

Voters Should Go Early to The Polls Next Tuesday.

The voters of Jasper county are urged to go to the polls eaily next Tuesday morning. The polls will close at 6 p. m., in order ! that the counting of the votes may I start and the official count forwarded to headquarters. There is no excuse for a voter waiting until a late hour to cast his ballot. Jn some of the precincts the registered voters are many and if they do not keep the polls inhabited throughout the day there may be some who will not get to vote if the warning is not heeded. There is no reason in many of the precincts why all the voters should not have their ballots cast long before the time of the closing of the polls. In Jasper county there are six precincts in which the registration exceeds the number supposed to vote in a precinct, 250. The precincts in which this is true are a follows: Marion Nos. 1, 2 and 4,3 TO, 356 and 352 respectively; Barkley East, 330; Carpenter south, 252, and Wheatfield, 280. If there should be 25 or 30 voters in one precinct who waited until the last half hour to cast their ballots, the probabilities are that some of then) yould lose their votee, as the polls close, regardless of whether or not there are still some waiting to vote. | ( By $1 means let the.“vots_ early” slogan be uppermost in your minds on next Tuesday. .
