To Democracy Of The State

Hon. Murray Nand1Ver, chairman OF
the Democratic State Central Committee,
has issued the following address to the
Demo racy of the State Every Demo-
cratic voter i'll Hartford should carefully
read it and be guided by the wise counsel
it contains.
have already earnestly urged the
Democracy of Baltimore City to be sure
to register and to declare their Party
Atliliation" as Democrats, so as to be
qualified 70 take part in the Primaries i'll
The City next April.
The results of the first days registra-
ton are highly gratifying and we have
every reason to believe that at the COM
ing sittings of the officers of registration
in the City our full vote will be enrolled
and their utilization as Democrats most
willingly declared.
/ now especially address myself to the
Democracy of the State. In the counties
the offices of registration will be open for
registration ON tuesday, September 30th,
and on Tuesday, October 18th, between
the hours Of A. NJ. and 2. NJ. and on
the 18th of October for Revision only.
Note carefully these dates and see to it
that all Democrats, who have thus far
failed to register, no longer postpone the
l'Nllci i4l' IINS va inns lliOSl dulS
and that all those who are now for the
first time entitled to be enrolled as voters
20 and register.
In addition to securing the registration
OF all qualified Democrats, careful and
close examination OF the books of regis
tration should be made for the purpose
OF striking of, the names of all that have
died or become disqualified, and also of all
~ 1N- ~, f,a, tI,t IL
tered.
1t is believed that in some of the coun.
ties many names will be found on the
registration books which ought never to
have been placed there.
These names should be stricken off so
that only the names of bona fide citizens
If the State and real residents in the
several election districts shall be suffered
tn remain.
! earnestly urge you to organize thor
ouglly i'll each election precinct. Get
fall list of all registered voters.
SCrutiniZe these lists. Mark the names
If all persons who are not known to be
actual residents of the precinct, and chal.
lcnGu, i'll The mode pointed out by law, the
right of these persons to have their names
kept upon the registra ton books.
Take this work i'll hand at once. 1t will
not be difficult or tedious if you begin it
promptly Dv means of active and intelli-
cent committees in each precinct.
The result of this diligent and vigilant
labor Will purge the books of large num-
hers of names Of persons who are not Ell
titled to vote and who should not be per-
mitted to control or influence our election,
and will greatly help us in our effort to
restore to Maryland a solid delegation
Of Democrats i'll the House of Representa-.
tIveS.
The Democrats of Maryland should ex-
ert themselves 10 the utmost to aid in
this great and important achievement.
Your first duty now is to get the name
81 every qualified Democratic voter on
the registration books and tocausc these
books to be purgcd of all disqualified and
fraudulent names.
When this task is thoroughly accom-
pliShed nothing more will be needed but
10 arouse The enthusiasm of the rank and
file of our party in all sections of the
State, and the 4th of November will sure
~ witness a great and gratifying Demo
crauc victory.

Chairman Democratic State Central |
