NEED FOR ALERTNESS

Inc priDclpal interest III tnc PlHuaig y
election of next Tuesday appears TO be
centered in the fight of the ''cit'zens ,
Nonnartisan ticket aud tho Good
Government Republican, ticket Tor
second place in the race, 1t rs con
ccded by the leaders OF both OF these
parties that the American ticket "'li
run far in the Iced and so the battle IS
between these two factions OF the Re
publican party as TO which VIII be able
TO Get bv the primaries. The contest
between the two appears to hc close
with The probability that some on cAcn
ticket will be able to get on the hnal
ballot.
American success appears more Ger
tain every day. Promises ot support
for the American ticket are coming
from unexpected quarters. The only
opposition TO the American party is IN
the apparent Indifference of some OF
he American voters. This indifference
is not due to disapproval of the Amer
lean ticket, but partially to .oFer-conii-
dencc and partially to the impression
that The primary election of Tuesday IS
uDimportant.
Depends on Citizens.
While the Indications of American
success are almost absolute. this sue
cess is wholly dependent on the efforts
Of the individual American voter, IN
less every American goes to the polls
on Tuesday next and votes for the SIN
American nominees on the ballot the
Americans cannot be certain OF victory.
The Americans are confident OF success
but they should not permit that conf
dence 10 keep them away from the polls
on Tuesday Every American should
vote aud make the selection OF the en-
tire American ticket as nearly nnanl-
nous as possible.
The greatest opposition TO American
success is IN the fact that many Amcri-
caus fail to comprehend the real signiti-
cameo of the primary election of next
Tuesday. The primary election is one
Of the most important elections at
which the American voters of the city
have ever been called upon TO vote,
This election will determine whether
or not the American nominees Will go
on the official ballot for the city elec-
ton. IF Americans in any considera BILE
number fail TO vote at Tuesday s cleo
tion there is grave danger that they
will not have the opportunity 10 vote
for American candidates al the city
election. From every standpoint the
primary election of next Tuesday is to
the Americans far and away the most
important election this fall If the
Americans poll big vote at the pri'
mary election on Tuesday. big enough
to win over all competitors. victory mt
the city election is absolutely certain.
Need to Vote Early.
The polls open on Tuesday morning
at I clock. Every American should
make ii point TO vote as early as pos
sible, Under the arrangement provided
BY the new commission law the voting

system. There are but four voting

who do not vote until late in the day
will find that they will be delayed and
that there is danger that they may not
have the opportunity 10 vote at all.
Since the polling places arc open so
early as many Americans n can pos.
slblv do so should vote on their way TO
work in the morning. American men
and women VINO can conveniently do so
vote during the forenoon. BY so doing
they will find that there will be less
congestion at the polls and that il will
he easier for them To complete their
voting without delay. At the same
time they will be comforting Il great
favor on the American party orga MIA
ton which will be engaged in getting

those Americans who vote early Will
so reduce the work of the organization
