Description

An Ex Registrar Rejected - - Two years ago one of the scalawag registrars for this County was a certain Dr. Fouts, of Farley, than whom none was more a illiberal, vindictive and prescriptive. We learned that he has come to grief. His neighbors charge him with having more Negro blood in his veins than the law allows for qualified voters, hence his right to be registered last week was challenged and his name was placed upon the rejected list. Fouts was a fair representative of the class of registrars who controlled registration in this county 2 years ago. His evil days are upon him. (Researcher's note: Dr. Dolphus J. Fouts, Farley, Lee Township, Platte County, Missouri.)
