PREPARE
FOR REGISTRATION

Though it has not ben determined
by either of the political parties in
Wayne county whether a petition for
the registration of voters in Septem-
ber will be filed, there already is much
interest being displayed by those in
command of the campaign forces rela-
tive to the registration in a general
way.
Whether there is one or two regis
teration periods fixed, the fact re-
mains that there will be much work TO
be done in the way of getting the vot-
ers to the polls to qualify fol. the Nov
ember election. The chief change is
in the registration law as amended
at the last session of the general as
sembly has to do with the registera-
tion of voters who through illness or
inability to be in their home precinct
on the day Of registration may quail
ify the same as the voter at home.
This change will be of benefit to trav-
elling men especially, it being noted
that two years ago hundreds of this
class of voters were shut out of ex-
ercising their ballot because of their
inability to be at home on registra-
tion day.
NIT the voter who knows yhe will be
away from home on registration day
to make out regular application ac-
companied by an affidavit setting
forth the cause of his inability to reg
lister in person an dto set forth also
his whereabouts on registration day.
This application and affidavit may be
filed on registration day by any voter
of the precinct in which the absentee
resides, and he will be qualified to
vote. The understanding with regard
to this feature of the law, however,
that all such application and affidavits
for absentees must be filed with reg
isteration boards at the October ses-
sion and not atan earlier session if
one should be held. There are some
points regarding the law, however.
that have in the past caused more or
less confusion and promise to do so
again, though the party leaders are
now at work acquainting themselves
with every detail in order to be pre-
pared for any emergencies that might
arise.

Santiago de Cuba

Santiago, the first place where we
were permitted to stretch our legs,
is the most un-American city we
touched on our travels. The very
color Of their roofs is foreign to Amer
lean traditions. From u deck in the
middle of the arbor we had a splendid
view of the roof line of the city and it
seemed as though every man strove
to put his neighbours eye out with a
riot of color. The most natural thing
about the place was the swarm of
hack boats about the gangway, every
one of them manned by a Niagara
Falls hackman done in ebony.
Santiago has many advantages over
Valley Forge as a presidential boom
town, especially in the matter of bare.
foot soldiers. Teddy surely chose well.
We chartered a boat for shore, mann.
ed by a black pirate, with an assistant
and a gasoline engine in the last
stages of pneumonia, the engine, not
the assistant. On shore while every
thing looked foreign and talked the
same way. we nevertheless felt at
home at once.
Everybody who could talk English
at all, was possessed with the Idea
that we were consumed with an in
satiable desire to visit the battle field
at once. Automobiles, only $40: car.
riages. $40. Any conveyance was at
our command. The pleasure all on the
other side and ten doQars on ours,
always ten. We waived them aside
and charged up the hill. because we
thought the only way to emulate the
great advance agent who stood alone
In Cuba and charged Kettle Hill was
to charge the FIRST hill we came to.
But we found that this matter OF
charging had taken root. We might
be able to capture Santiago for the
second time but the charging part Ia
taken care Of By disciples OF Cuba
