Get Registered.

A prerequisite to voting is to have your name
on the books of registration. If not regis
tered you cannot vote in November.
Persons who were registered in 1896 or since
that time do not have to be registered again.
If any person whose name is already on the
books has changed his residence to another
precinct since the last election he must go to the
place of registration where he last voted and
get transfer to the precinct or district where
he now resides.
A voter who has moved into Carroll from
Baltimore City or any county of the State,
and resided here for six months or more,
counting up to election day, must get trans
fer from the registration officers where he last
voted and take it to the registrars of the pre-
cinct or district where he row lives.
Young men becoming of age on or before
the 9th day of November will be entitled to
register next month.
The Supervisors of Election give notice in
our advertising columns of the dates and
places of Registration.
The only days the registrars will sit to reg
lister new voters and give certificates Of trans
fers are Tuesday, October I, and Tuesday,
October II. The sitting on Tuesday, October
IS. is for rerision only. No one can be reg
istered or get a transfer on that day.
No Democrat entitled to vote should fail to
get registered. The election this year is the
most important for half century. Upon the
result depends the future policy Of govern
ment. Whether we depart from govern
ment by the consent Of the governed, or
firmly establish imperialism. Whether We
will come back within the confines of the
Constitution, or supplant that admirable bull
wark OF liberty with the sword. Whether the
Declaration OF Independence is TO be respect
ed. or a colonial policy is 10 prevail. Whether
the Monroe Doctrine is to be endangered BY
claiming the right to grab up lands in the
other hemisphere and denying to other gov.
ernmenls the same right in this hemisphere.
Roosevelt is the most ego;istical man OF
prominence this country has ever known. He
is dangerous, allowing neither the Consti,u-
ton nor the laws to stand in the way Of his
imperial will he believes an occasional war
Is necessary TO arouse patriotism aud 10 keep
the people from physical decay. He IS erratc,
uncertain and constant menace to the peace,
prosperity and happiness of the people. He
Is stubborn aud overbearug. bitter parri
san, a spokesman. a mau Of strong halred~, a
believer in the equality the black aad white
races, and altogether a most unti, man Tor the
Presidency. Il given four more years in the
Presidential office. no man can predict VII st
be will do. That be would like TO have
himself reelected in l9os, DO one Nill deny.
That be would use every power and device TO
accomplish that end no one who understands
the man will deny. either His friends and
fawnings would be placed in charge 81 the
army and navy. Promotions would be made
to suit his purposes, no, in regular succession.
His treatment Of Gen. Miles and Admiral
Schley is sufficient evidence To ;adge by. His
ambition would spar him 70 do anything and
ii will be a sad day for this republic should be
be elected in November with full control Of
the Army aud Navy.
All peace loving, conservative and business
men should make supreme efsoF, TO preveni
such calamity. Nov Is The tune for the
people to rise up IN their might aud srnd
Rooseveliism to its doom.
