Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 62, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 November 1916 — IMPORTANT NOTICE TO VOTERS [ARTICLE]

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO VOTERS

The voters of Jasper county should make it a point to go to the polls early next Tuesday and cast their votes. There is no good reason nor sense, as a rule, in waiting until late in the afternoon or evening to cast, your vote'. The polls will close promptly at 6 p. m. no matter whether all the votes are in or not, and in some of the larger precincts many voters may not get to cast their ballot at all unless they heed the admonition to “vote early.”

There are six precincts in Jasper county in which the registration exceeds the number supposed to vote in a precinct—2so. These precincts are: Barkley, East, 330; Carpenter, South, 252; Marion, No. 1, No. 2> and No. 4, 310, 356 and 252, respectively; ana Weatfleld. 280. In each of these precincts it is going/to take quite rapid voting to get all of the votes in. Especially is this true of Barkley, East, Marion No. 1 and No. 2, and voters should make it a point to go to the polls early and stay in line till they get to cast their ballot. Should there be twenty or thirty votes at 5:30 o’clock in any one of these precincts—or any other, for that matter—it is not at all likely that all will get to vote, as the polls will be closed before they can be accommodated. Let "vote early” be your maxim next Tuesday.
