A great many citizens appear to be UNI
der the erroneous impression that the
county registration is the same as that of
the city, In order to correct this error the
Liberal Club has prepared circular which
will be widely distributed,
Those who recall the scores about the
court house two years ago, when the po-
lice force was ORDERED out to keep order
in and around the tax collectors office.
know just what It's meaning is. It is with
a view To preventing repetition of these
scenes that this circular has been issued,
and it is urged upon all who expect and
desire to vote in the coming city election,
that it is an important matter that they
should pay their taxes at once. If they
do not, they run the risk of being left off
the lists altogether as the registration
now is being carried on in the precincts,
with only three more days for registration,
and every one who registers must show
his tax receipts before his name will be
placed on the list
Every one desires to avoid a repetition
of the trouble that was witnessed at the
court house two years ago and the only
now. rhe tax collec IS once will be open
for the payment of taxes only about two
weeks longer, and those who want to vote
had better get in early. The circular,
which has been issued by the Liberal Club,
Is as follows:
To the Members Of the Liberal Club and
all Citizens in favor of Good Govern
ment: There seems to be an impression
in the minds of many that it is not re-
qulred to register anew for the approach
ing municipal election. This is a wrong
impression. The registration for the city
election has nothing to do with the county
registration. In order to qualify yonr-
selves to vote for mayor and aldermen
next month, you must register in the city
precinct in which you live. The boundo-
ries of the precincts have been fixed by
the mayor and aldermen Of the city, and
are published in the daily papers.
There are but four days for registration
under the law, and one of these has pass
ed, so there are but three remaining, Tues
day. Dec. s. Saturday Dec. u, and Sat-
urday, Dec. 10. The experience of our
citizens two years ago, In connection with
the working of this registration, should
aamonish every one who desires to quail
~ himself as a voter, to pay his taxes at
once and not wait until the tax collectors
office is so over-crowded as to make II
inconvenient, If not impossible to OBJ
tain his receipt. The Liberal Club, there
fore, earnestly appeals to all it's menu
bers, and all citizens interested in good
government to pay their taxes without
further delay, so that they may be in a
position to have their names entered on
the registration the next day the books
are opened, namely, Tuesday, Dec. 8.
For the information of all interested
the following are the qualifications neces
sary to entitle one to register for the city
election
