MUST REGISTER
TODAY TO VOTE
At PRIMARIES
Last Chancs for All Who Did
Not Vote at General EIec-
tion Last Year.
POLLS ARE OPEN FROM
UNTIL 9 P. M.

Today is the first registration day
for the general election and it is
also the first and last day for regis
trations for the primaries on Sep
tember 23. If you did not vote at
the general election last year and
wish to vote at the primaries this
year you must register in person to-
day. Many believe that they can go
to the polls on primary day, register
and then vote. This is not the case
You can register on primary day for
the general election; that is all. II
you did vote at the general election
last year you are automatically regis
tered for the primaries this year and
can vote on September % without
registering now, but you must regis
ter in perpn for the general election
on November A, whether you voted
last year or not.
Here is another thing to remem-
Der. If you register today for the
primaries you also register for the
general election. You cant register
just for the primaries and then 90
and register again for the genera!
election. This is what you should
remember: today is the last chance
to register for the primaries If you
did not vote at the general election
last year. The polls viii open at 1
O'Clock this afternoon and remain
open until 9 o'clock tonight. The
election boards are compelled by law
to transfer the names of all who
voted at the November election last
year to the primary books of this
year, hence the automatic registration
for the primaries. Everyone should
vote at the primaries as it Is your
chance to choose the candidates you
want to run for the respective offices
in your party. Every effort is being
made to get out large vote on Sep
tember 23 as there are numerous
contests.
Another thing to be remembered
in connection with the primaries Is
that if you voted a Democratic ticket
at the primaries last year you must
vote a Democratic ticket at the pri-
maries this year. If you did not vote
at the primaries last year and sup
ported one of the tickets at the gen
eral election you may so declare
yourself and vote accordingly at the
primaries this year.
There are three registration days
for the general election on November
4. Today is the first; September %,
primary day, is the second, and
October 21 Is the final day. Remem-
ber, everyone must personally regis
ter every year in order to vote at the
general election.
