Pay YOur Poll Tax.

A number of good citizens will
find themselves debarred from vot-
ing in the primary election this
year because of failure to pay their
poll tax. No one can participate
in a primary election under the
new law unless all taxes required
of him are paid on or before the
first day of next month. The tax
books show many delinquents who
should awake to the situation aud
qualify by equaring up with the
State and county
This year promises to ne the
most interesting in politics since a
long time ago, and the man who
ia disarmed Of his vote will he pow
erless To express himself for the
promotion of his State or of his
favorite candidate. The various
questions that are being projected
by candidates are of vital impor-
tance to- the people. and no good
citizen should permit himself to
become powerless to pass on them
with his vote. State prohibition,
the dispensary, the educational
question and laws looking to better

or topics, are being warmly agita-
ted and supported. and will engage
the voters most serious ccnsidera-

The privilege of voting this year
will be worth more than two dol

every man who has spark of pat

thereafter cease TO grum ole or crit
