URGE VOTERS TO ENROLL
Porter Backers Appeal to Men Who
Register at Polls

The unusually large number OF voters
who registered at the first registration
day last Thursday but who failed to
enroll under any party has called forth a
statement from the George D. Porter
Citizens Committee, showing the inn
portance OF enrolment as well as regis
tration. The electors who did not go to
The polls on last Thursday are urged to
20 tomorrow, the second registration day
and enroll as well as register in order
that they may not be barred from par
ucination In the primaries.
The statement In part follows:
The fact that nearly II 900 voters en-
rolled as nonpartisans on the first regis
uation day indicates plainly that there
must be some misapprehension among
the citizens as TO the rights which the
nonpartisans will have at the coming pri-
mary election. September q. The act of
Assembly Of July 25 1919 p. l.. 1898 sets
forth specifically that In order TO partici-
pate IN party primary, a voter must
enroll as a member OF that party on one
OF the designated registration days
8. rho Campaign Committee of the
,GeorRe ID. Porter Citizens Committee of
One Thousand urges emphatically upon
the citizenship of Philadelphia the i'm
portance of enrolling under party name
on one Of the two succeeding registration
days-Tuesday. September Z. and Satur-
day, September II.
