New Law Will Have Good Effect.

Under the new registration law of this gtate the practice of bringing men back to Tippecanoe county is given a hard rap. Heretofore this practice has been general and voters were brought home even two or three hundred miles away. The registration law requires all voters in the state to register and on election day no man can vote who has not properly registered as provided by law. It is not at all probable that the parties will have voters that are away from home come to register and also to vote, as the expense would be too great unless ihe slush fund is very large. However the supposition is that both parties will be equally affected so the leaders may make no effort to bring the wanderers home. and very beneficial effect will be to stop the voting of non residents temporarily studying at Purdue university. These men will be required to vote where they really live and not where they have no personal interest. —Tippecanoe County Democrat.
