I Perhaps the two oldest democrats to register in Jasper county at the recent registration w-ere David Nowels and William Bull of Rensselaer. Mr. Nowells will be 91 years old Sept. 15, and Mr. Bujl is past 86. The former is the oldest resident, in number; of years he has lived here, now in Jasper county, but Uncle Clint Hopkins has got him faded in age about six months, he having passed his 91st milestone last March. The Indiana voters’, registration law is a progressive measure, such as has been adopted by several other states, and when generally

understood will prove a popular measure. It doesn’t seek to deprive any person from casting a vote who is eligible, but it does aim to cut out every person who is not entitled, to vote. there is certainly nothing wrong in that proposition, and those who are now scoffing at the law are doing so for political effect or do not know anything about what it seeks to accomplish.
