TO RHODE ISLAND VOTERS
State Chairman Says: Watch Out or Dis
franchisement Will Catch You

WooNsocKET, R. l., June Especial CORE
spondence) -Chairman Elisha T. Read of this city
has called a special meeting of the Prohibition
state central committee to be held on Wednesday,
June II, at p m, in Arcanum Hall, 152 Wey-
bosset street, Providence This will be an open
meeting and all friends of the party are invited
to be present and participate in conference to be
held following the state committee meeting. The
state committee will elect eight delegates to repre-
sent Rhode Island at the national convention to
be held next month at Columbus, fix date for
the state nominating convention to be held in
the fall and attend to other matters in connection
with the convention.
The state chairman desires to remind party
workers that all citizens not of the tax-paying
class who desire to vote at the November cleo
ton must register at the designated place in
each city or town on or before the last day OF
June. 1t is believed that many Prohibitionists
are disfranchised each year by failing to attend
to this matter as the time expires so long before
election day. City and town committees should
endeavor to remind all citizens friendly to the
party of this requirement so that they may get
their names on the list

Base Ball and Apathy.

The politicians who are complaining Of
general apathy in the campaign must not
blame the people too severely for their
failure to become excited over the issues.
Untii the base ball championships are
awarded there can be no concentration of
public interest upon the candidates and
the political issues. Who, DOR instance,
could expect the population of Detroit to
settle down seriously to ponder the relative
merits OF Taft and Bryan as presidential
possibilities while the fate of the Tigers
remained in the balance? That question is
now answered. but the Detroiters are still
on the anxious bench relative to the
worlds championship. Meanwhile in Chi
caso. in New. York and In Pittsburr ,her.
are burning hopes OF base ball honors No
true Pennsylvania. or Illinoisan, or New
Yorker could be reasonably expected to
spend more than a passing moment In
of these trivialities OF
which the candidates and their spellbind-
ing reporters are discoursing as long as
the fortunes of their respective repre-
