NUMBER 14 3,W4 Persons Registered Throughout Coiqnt'y Citizens of Dade will stream to the polls this weekend to choose the officials who will represent them during the next four years. There are 3,704 persons registered, an increase of 157 over the 3,547 persons registered in the 1948 primary. Although this election is the Oamoc-'ratiic Primary and the general election will not be held until November, Demo¬ cratic nomination is usually equivalent to election in Dade. Every district in the county increased in number of voters registered over 1948 except Trenton and Cole City. Tren¬ ton dropped slightly from 690 to 674. Cole Citys drop Is due to the fact that the district was divided into two districts and the total of these two rep¬ resents a gain over the past primary. In 1948 Cole City had 710 registered. This year there are 619 registered at Cole City and 189 at New Home, the district formed from former Cole City registrants. Polls will open at 7:00 a. m. and will close at 6:00 p. m.
