THE REGISTRATION CLOSED

Never in the history of politics in the
city have the democrats of Anaconda
chosen leader more popular than John
N. Madden, the democratic candidate
for mayor. 1t is a safe prediction to
make that Mr.. Madden's majority on
election day will be larger than was
even received by any candidate Not
only is Mr.. Madden a popular young
gentleman, he is a true and loyal citi-
zen, a man Of brains and of the high
est integrity. Under Mr.. Madden's adj
ministration every citizen and taxpay-
en- in Anaconda may rest assured that
the affairs Of the city will be conduct
ed honestly, economically and with
view to the best interests of all.
4sMr. Madden was born at Peoria, ILL.,,
Dec. 5, 1853. His parents moved to
La Sale, ILL.,, and he was educated at
the common schools of that place. He
adopted the profession of bookkeeper
and Is an acknowledged expert in all
matters pertaining to accounts. Mr..
Madden came to Montana in 1892 and a
little later became a resident of Ana
conda. He is man Of genial instincts
and high abilities. AS the mayor
of Anaconda he will be a credit to his
constituents.
The registry agents closed the great
register of the voters for the city cleo
ton last night at 10 o'clock with total
4 of 1889 enrolled on their lists. This
! number is Ill more than two years ago,
4 when the total number on the closing
night was but 2,77S. AS the interest
in the approaching election is less in
tense than that of the contest two
years ago, but one party having NOM
nations in the field, the increase in
numbers may be taken as an evidence
of flattering growth in the population
of the city.
The registry agents state that about
65 men will look for their names on
the printed lists in vain, for the reason
that they failed to produce their nat
uralization papers at the time of reg
istration and were not registered two
years ago. These men will not be dis
franchised if they attend to the mat
ter of correcting the omission by call
ing upon the registry agents on Satur-
day, April /, when the books are open
ed for correction. Every voter, there
fore, should scan closely the printed
lists of voters when posted in his ward
and see to it that his name appears
thereon. If it does not he will find
on election day that he is without a
vote. .'''8' ''F'A's
The citizens y, ticket is rapidly go
ing to pieces. The men whom this
movement put on it's list for the offices
are speedily resigning. Yesterday Fred
Gangner, the present republican alder
man from the Fourth ward. who was
named on the citizens ticket as a cam
didate for city treasurer, filed with the
city clerk a notification that he is not
a candidate on the citizens ticket and
that the use of his name was unwar-
ranted and unknown to him.

whatever to do with the citizens I"
