REPUBLICANS AND SOCIALISTS
WAGiNG ACTIVE CAMPAIGNS
REGISTRARS ENCOUNTER DIFF
FACULTIES.

Oklahoma City, Okla, April %
Republicans and socialists of all Okla
homa are urging their voters to regis
ter under the new registration law
the registration period All over Ok
lahoma Socialists are wearing in their
hatbands a white card with the in
scription in bold letters, "Do not fail
to register The cards were sent to
all the socialist locals in Oklahoma
from state headquarters here. There
are men wearing these cards who do
not meet one other man a day There
are others who meet thousands every
day. The admonition is there to be
seen, however by all who are met.
Whilst the new registration law pro
vides that the precinct registrars shall
issue certificates of registration to all
voters in their precincts who voted
there in the election of 1911, it is
known that save in the cities of the
first class, there is no certainty of a
list of such voters being obtainabe.
Some of the county registrars have al
ready given notice that they can not
undertake to comply with the terms of
this part of the law, for the reason
that they can secure no list of the 1914
voters
All Voters Should Register.
1t has been generally adopted as
rule among all parties that voters
should be urged to seek out the pre-.
cinct registrar whether they were
voters in the precinct in 1914, or not,
and secure their registration certifi-
Gates The democrats will make an
effort to secure the registration of all
their men, but it is pointed out by
the republicans and socialists that the
registration of democrats will probably
be made easy, while that of the minor
ity party fellows may be made diff
cult
The tale is related of a member of
the Legislature in black county, who
was asked by a friend to tell him who
had been appointed registrar in that
precinct:
That's a profound secret" replied
the lawmaker Nobody knows that
but the county registrar, the appointee
and me-"
OF course, this is a joke; but nev-
the leaders of the minority
parties are making frantic efforts to
instruct their people in all the pre-
cincts in the necessity for vigilance
and activity in securing registration
certificates. The prospective voter
must seek the precinct registrar dur
ing the first ten days of May and ans
wer all the questions that may be
asked by him and get his certificate |
Of registration. In most precincts the |
registrar will set office hours for the |
registration of voters. In some pre-
cincts it is conceivable that he will |
not do this.

The handcart was piled high with
big bags filled with waste paper-a
cumbersome heavy load that would
have heen hard to handle anywhere,
and was doubly troublesome going up
the slope from Nassau street to Broad
way. The handcart man had to bend
over the bar and push with all his
might to keep the load moving at all.
Coming up behind him was a driver
with an empty truck, drawn by a pair
OF big horses. When the driver saw
what was ahead he started up his

Thus the horses began to push the
handCart up the hill.
All the handCart man had TO do was
to stand up. hold ON to the handlcbar.

big horses, guided by the friendly
driver. were doing the pushing: and
so, easily enough, the man got his load

the easy level OF Broadway.-New
