REGISTRATION in
new YORK LIGHTER
THAN WAS EXPECTED

New York, Oct. 16.-Although the
registration of 3S,710 voters in New
York city exceeded last years rec
ord by 70,899, the predictions of po-
litical leaders were not fulfilled. The
complete registration figures now
available show gain of 33,424 over
the registration for the last presi-
Dental election in 1912. Politicians
have prophecied that total Of $780,
900 to 100000 will be attained. One
reason given for the failure to reach
these figures is the return TO Europe
of many men Of foreign birth.
Republican leaders pointed out to-
day there was large decrease in the
registration in some of the strong
democratic districts of Manhattan
but the democratic chieftains assert
ed that this was more than compen-
stated by democratic gains in Brock
lyn, Bronx and Queens boroughs.
Manhattan was the only borough to
show decline from the registration
of 1912.

POLITICAL PLATFORMS
FOR The AMENDMENT
All of the Candidates for Gov.
crnor Are Advocating Rev.
enue Change.

Both the Republican and Democra-
tic platforms fully and unequivically
endorse the Tax Amendment as con-
stituting part Of their party policies.
The candidates for governors on 9TH
er tickets are advocating its adoption.
1t appears from this that all of the
political organizations of Illinois ex.
press themselves In favor of tax re-
form. This being the fact, members
OF each and all of these political or
gan.zations-unless they disagree
with their party representatives.
In favor of the amendment and will
support 1t on election day. The DEM
ocrat who shouts for his party and
for his party's policies, must endorse
the amendment. And. it is the same
with the Republican, the Socialist.
the Pr6ibitionist.
1t Is reasonable to suppose that all
of the partisans of these great parties
In Illinois. when election day comes,
will go to the polls and vote for the
amendment. They are fully committed
to doing so by the pledges which their
conventions and representatives have
made to the people. And, not only
are they in reason expected to vote
for the amendment but, they should
also, use their endeavors to induce
others to do so. 1t is not to be feared
that the rank and file of any of the
parties, to any great extent, will de-
liberately vote "No" against distinct
pledge of their party. But there is
danger lest we forget" The amend
ment requires majority of all the
votes cast at the election to secure Its
adoption. A ballot that is not marked
"Yes" is a vote against it.
1t is especially the duty of each
candidate on all of the party tickets
to call the attention of voters to the
plank in their party platforms advo-
eating the adoption of the amend
ment. BY doing this candidates not
only demonstrate their loyalty to the
declarations OF their party. but show
that they keep in mind the great is
sues which affect the people. while
they exert themselves to secure their
own personal success in the election.

AN OPEN LETTER.

10 arms DapuNS 10 the
Baptists Of the Mi. Olive Baptist
Association OF Southern illinois.
To you we send greetings and
wish to inform you that the time
is at hand for us arise and eitd
our armor on, and heed the Mace
DOMAIN cry Come ye over and
help Us.
We have a number OF small
churches lew larger ones in oul
district that are without pastors
and not self supporting and with
a little encouragement from the
stronger ones, they can be made
strong.
Our mission work and our Dis
triotAnissionaries are greatly neg
lected, which should not be the
ca in a land OF plenty and pros
per ty. when. If the pastors and
churches would manifest little
more of the Christ like spirit in
carrying out the great commission
to go into all the world and pre-
aeh the gospel. Southern Illinois
is part of the world. therefore,
since i, is part OF territ Dry we are
obligated TO Christ to carry the
Gospel TO perishing thousands in
our bali wick.
The churches are only asked to
send up sc per member quarterly
TO aid the missionaries while 10
the destitute parts OF our district
which is mall item to any mem
Der, but. would be ample TO care
Tor our district work in good shape
and missionaries would not be
compelled 10 look like tramps.
As intelligent Baptists we can
not afford to let the Banner trail
10 the dust and be a aughing
stock or to be held up in ridicule
by others who are less able to care
for their obi cations
We confidently trust that each
pastor and officer in the churches
OF our a,sociational district will
get busy and help to raise the fin
ancial standard in our district at
the Ist quarterely Board meeting
which will be held in Mt. Vernon
with Shiloh Baptist church with
Elder John Bruen. pastor, Thurs
day before the 3rd Sunday in
Dec. 1910.
The church and pa tor sending

ing will be placed on honor roll
and the cut OF pastor will be plac-
ed in the columns OF the Gazette
