AN HONEST OPINION

The Starke County Republican, which is nearly always found defending its party regardless of conditions, has the following to say concerning the registration law, a product of the recent Republican legislature, and signed by a Republican governor: Now let tin pre me. court go n step .farther’ and hold this fqol r>-c-Jstration law unconstlttitjonal. That is about the most idiotic' piece of legislation' that lias eminated from Indiana’s lawmaking body in a coon’s age. And the humiliating part of it is that , the Republicans are rt'-ronsible for it. This registration law is .such .a ■ watery-eyed, specimen of legislation that it looks like it had' been conceived, born, bred, fostered to useless maturity in th e. back pa rlor of the Den is on hotel. Reality the Republican is ashamed of fchfsXla.w and we have no excuse to offlr the people because it is of Republican origin.
