Have You Registered?

There are exactly 24,o4S men now i'll the state of Ari- zona who are entitled to vote at the coming Presidential and Congressional election.
 At the office of Secretary of State Osborn can be found a duplicate copy of the register of each county and the total for the fourteen counties of Arizona is 24,o49. This is somewhat lower than the tot al registration for the first state election, but 1t must be realized that the present re- gistration will be augmented, as each county register will be re-opened for some time prior to the day of election. Also it must be realized that the register for the first state cleo ton was one that had not been changed for a number ofyears and contained the names of hundreds of dead men and men who had moved from Arizona. The present registra- ton is entirely new and every name on the long list repre- sents some living breathing man within the confines of this state.
 In the number of voters re- gistered Maricopa county leads, with Cochise second, Pima third, Yavapai fourth and Gila fifth. The registra tion for each county in the state is as follows: Apache POP; Cochise 499o; Coconino o52; Gila 1888; Graham 1172; Greenlee 1191; Maricopa o552; Mohave 872; Navajo 962; Pima 2o46; Pinal I31; Santa Cruz 389; Yavapai 1895; Yuma 782.
 Secretary Osborn is of the opinion that the registration will be above the 25,ooo mark before election day as the re- opening of the county registers will undoubtedly bring in many more names.
 If you haven't registered as yet, do your duty and regis ter now.

Col. Mott declared the soil and cli-
