Appended is the vote cast for Clark

committee men and all democrats in each
precinct are requested to compare it with
the registry so far; also compare the total

If the number Of democrats registered
falls short Of the number of democratic
votes cast last fall, then the leading dem

are missing and to make sure that THEY
ARE REGISTERED
Compare the totals also and If there be
any shortage, find out if it is due to fail

Make allowance in all calculations for the
newcomers who have registered. In
some cases registry may exceed the total
vote last fall and yet some veteran demo-

DEMOCRATS OF MONTANA.

The undersigned, u committee appoint
ed for that purpose by the democratic
state convention, beg leave to call your
attention to the following address to the
democratic voters of Montana:
The most important election in which
the people were ever called upon to par
ticipate is near at hand.
Never since the organization of the ter
ritory has the democracy been so united
or seemingly SO invincible. Our cause is
just, our candidates invulnerable, and our
victory ought to be certain. There is but
one danger to be feared and that is fail
ure to register. Let every man that de
serves we'll Of the coming state see to il
that he is not dlsfranchlsed by that vici
GUS and partisan registration law, which
ought to have been entitled, "An Act to
Disfranchlse the Farmers, Miners and
Stockmen of Montana" and which was
born Of the first Republican Legislature
of Montana.
Register, and do 80 at once, and thus
Delay is dangerous. In order to vote,
you must register on or before September
10Th.
Let the naturalized Citizens of this
Territory, who have been voting un-
molested for years, hunt up their papers
that they have not seen for ten years, and
60 to place of registration and register
and at the same time register q vow to re-
buke the political party that puts you to
this great inconvenience and practically
disfranchises you by the absurd provision
which requires you to produce your papers,
and in some instances travel a hundred
miles to register before you can exercise
the rights of freeman.
To all who are interested in good
government, we ask you to read the plat
form OF our party, examine the public
and business records of our candidates,
pursue and investigate them in all their
relations to the public, to the last and
final analysis, and we are confident that
you will find them worthy Montanians,
men who will guard and protect her iu-
terests at all hazards.
Register and tell your friends to reg
lister.
