 Today is October l5. Today affords the last oppor- tunity for those who are eligible but have regis tered to enroll their names and qualify for membership in Arizouas electorate This year larger duty than ever before is imposed on the citizens of this state
 is eNayaeant assert that the future of Arizona win be moulded in no small degree by the results o' the forthcoming election This would hold true if cor sideraton were confined solely to the proposed initiated measures These effect materially in way an other every interest found in the State The nteres citizen is so negligible that he or she can affori to ignore the responsibility attaching to all in conse quence of he important decisions which the elector- ate must make.

These sponsors constitute at tackng force possessed advantages which iuhcl ent in attack Defense starts in with handicap which nevertheless can be overcome. 1T advantage is taken today of the last opportunity register and complete muster roll of Araonas electorate is secured the eral issues win be fought out their merits by boJ sides
 These are times when the sirker and dawdlar have mo place in Arzonas political ife These times when good citizenship demonstrate it's intelligence and loyalty The good citizen who for any reason has tlus far failed to register must do his duty TO-DAY
