REGMNOE VOTERS IS LIGHT Heavy Enrollment for Pri mary Believed To Have Gotten Most Folks Registration for the November 8 general election has been rather light here since the books were opened on Saturday. October 8, but this is due, it is believed, to the fact that moat voters qualified during the primary registration period last summer. The most of the names going on the books at this time consist, it is thought, of individuals who have ocme of vrting age since the primary, or who have moved from one ward to another dur ing the interim and will have to qualify in another precinct. The registration books will be open another week, closing on next Sat urday. October 29. A week later. Sat urday, November 5. will be challenge day. and after that the books will be closed until the election on the fol lowing Tuesday. The election is only two weeks away and it is believed there will he a big Democratic victory in the State and nation. Party leaders in this county *are chiefly concerned about getting out the vote. They have no local Re publican opposition, since the minority party did not put a ticket in the field at all for county offices. They will have candidates on the ballot, of course, for State and national offices, but not for the county ticket.
