With this action made unneces- sary, by law, the opinion is that |several hundred names will be jadded to the registration lists, bringing to the aid of friends, votes in the election this year, j which had not been evident in the voting lists of former years. | | Monroe county candidates are} jalready getting in line for the! first primary which will be held, \Tuesday, May 3, and while no) | formal announcements have been | | made, new conditions and situa-|- tions have arisen which have! | brought into the list of possibili- ties, a number of proposed candi- WILL BE ADDED TO REGIS-! s=v=ns:- MUCH PLEASED ON VISIT HERE Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Dreyfuss, of New York, who have spent a delightful vacation of two weeks in Key West, regret that business | calls them to return to their home in New York, and will leave to- |morrow.
