Voter. Take Notice.

Do the voters in Utah realize that TO
the tens of thousands OF voters now
named on the registration lists in this
stare, not one can vote at the coming
November election by virtue OF past
: registration? II they do not. they
should awaken to the fact. Not one
person can vote without new registrs-
ton: and the registry officer will not
call as your home to yet your name.
The residence qualification for per-
sons who are otherwise legal voters Is
not less I IAN one year in the State, four
months in the county aud sixty days 10
the precinct.
Any one otherwise legally qualified
who within sixty days before the cleo
ton changes his residence from one
voting district TO another, within the
same district, may be transferred on the
registration list aud may vote, but per-
sons moving out Of one precinct into
another within sixty days prior TO the
election cannot be registered aud will
not be allowed to vote.

male and female, should be registered
for the approaching election. They
should be registered on either the 9th

ers shall be made in each year OF a
presidential election, and every person
desiring registration must appear in
