COUNTY CLERK GETS 17,000 STATE BALLOTS
In anticipation of the largest Tote
ver cast m Wayne county, County Clek Kelly went to Indianapolis today
to order several hundred more state ballots. He will ask that 17,000 state ballots be sent here.
This exceeds greatly the number of
votes that can be cast but. the extras are ordered for safety in case some are destroyed accidentally. In five other precdncts which were reported to Auditor Bowman today, the registrations numbered many more than those in 1912 or, 1914. - The registration in precinct 1, Franklin township, this year was 121, in 1914 It was 116; in precinct 2, the number was 170 against 164 in 1914. Precinct 6, Jackson township, reported 179 registrations. Registrations at this precinct in 1914 numbered 174. Perry township reported 211 registrations. This is three less than two years ago. Precinct 16, Wayne township, turned in 191 registrations. The number was 156 in 1914. The greatest Increase, however, was in precinct 26, Richmond. This year there were 374 registrations reported, while in 1914 there were only 208. Although there were 12,040 registrations in 1914, only 10,947 votes were cast. This was the lowest number of votes cast in Wayne county since the presidential election of 1904 when there were 8,035 votes cast.
