DEMOCRATS SHOULD REGISTER.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD REGISTER
The Supervisors Of Election give
notice by advertisement in this
weeks issue that opportunity
will be given the voters of Hartford
county to become registered on Sep
TENDER 3Oth and October 18th. This
is the only two days that voters can
have their names enrolled as tile
meeting on October 18th is for re-
vision only. We urge upon all Demo-
cratic voters that they make diligent
inquiry. throughout their respective
neighborhoods, and if they find that
there are any residents who are ell
titled to vote, but whose names are
not upon the books, they should call
their attention to these two days.
The fight this fall is entirely of a
national nature and is one of the
most important in the history ofthls
country. Local disaffections among
the Republicans are constantly crop
ping out and if the Democrats will
stand together and poll a united vote
they can make vast inroads upon
the Republican majority in the House
ofRepresentatives. The first essential
looking to success is the registration
of every man who is opposed to the
domination of trusts, which have
been created under the existing tariff
law. 1t will be only short time
until the campaign will be on with
full vigor, but if we have overlooked
this necessary preliminary our
chances will be very much weakened.
We therefore urge the voters to
give this matter their careful atten-
ton and see to it that every Demo-
crat will be entitled deposit his ballot
on the 4th day of November. This
is the only way that we can be as
sured that success will crown our
efforts. These preliminaries are
necessities which should not be for
gotten.
MIR. BLAKENEYS PUBLIC RECORD.
The nomination of Mr.. William
Tyler Page as the Republican candi-
date for Congress is conceded on all
sides to have been thework of the pres
ent Congressman, Mr.. Albert A.
Blakeney and Mr.. Pages boom
doubtless received its inception from
the Junior Senator from Maryland,
Hon. Louis E. McComas, who, at
the present time is the head of the
Republican party Of Maryland.
When Mr.. Page was chosen, Mr.
Blakeney stated that the nominee re-
ceived his personal endorsement and
that "his purse and his voice" were
both at the disposal ofthe Republican
party to aid in the election of the
nominee. While in a measure, Mr..
Blakeney will retire to private life on
the fourth day ofnext March, it is only
fair to presume that as he was in
absolute control of the Westminster
convention, he is responsible for its
work and therefore his record as a
Congressman is legitimate material
to discuss in the present campaign.
1t is well-known fact to his con-
stituents that the present Congress
man did not make a particular
bright and shining representative
while he occupied this important
position, but many are not aware Of
the true facts as regard his record.
We give below some valuable in
formation, which has been CLEANED
from the Congressional Record and
other reliable sources. If is correct,
and we challenge investigation, it
shows that in many important mat
tiers Mr.. Blakeney was not thoughtful
ofthe interests of not only the district
that he represented, but many ma
tional matters. In using this we ask
the voters to consider whether or
not Mr.. Blakeney's personal repre-
sentative" will do any better than his
predecessor in the event of Republican
success.
"In his Congressional career, Mr..
Blakeney has achieved a record that
it would be difficult for the most in
ert statesman to rival, while the idea
of excelling it would be universally
secuted as preposterous. The most
condensed statement of this remark
able record will prove the most en-
light, ming.
"Mr. Blakeney has introduced five
public bills and twenty-four private
bills, not single one of which has
been enacted, and only two of them
have been reported back from the
committee. Ills ratio ofsuccess with
