Detroit six. But IL Philadelphia
won every game and Detroit won

THURSDAY. DEcEMBER ls 1909.
NOW IS THE TIME.

The Advertiser some weeks before the recent election stated that fully i7s,00o votes could be cast if those en- titled to vote would exercise their rixht to do so. It was furthermore stated in the editorial columns of this paper that in view of the intense fn- terest manifested, a larger vote than usual might be expected The latter statement has proven true. as the vote in 1908 for President was 1o5.511, and on November 29 1t was 12s.36b. an increase of about 10000. Even with this increase a very large num- ber who should have voted failed to do SO. There will. however. be very great addition to the voting list next year. The books show that about 7a.eoo men subject to poll tax paid up by the 1st of last February. Those who could not vote because of fail- ure to comply with the law in num- Der amount to more than those who aid pay. It is conservative to say that the number of poll tax payers will go away over the 100000 mark by the time the opportunity expires on the lst of February. 1910.
 There are easily 100000 white men in Alabama over 45 years of age. Some of these have reached that age since the new constitution was adopt ed. and if they owe any poll tax for a period prior to reaching the 45- year limit they must pay that before they can vote. It cannot be stated too plainly and too often that the man who owes poll tax cannot vote. He cannot be elected to an office if at time of election he owes any poll tax. The limit in which to pay up and become a voter is short It must be attended to before midnight of February 1. 1910. and in view of the modification which many thousands suffered in the amendment election because they had disfranchised them selves there ought to be a general rush to the tax collectors office to pay up and get a receipt in full. Now is the time to pay. After the 1st of February the non-poll tax payer will have to stand around on all election days next year and watch others vote without being able to exercise that great privilege himself.
