All is in readiness for the event which is to be one of the most eventful in the history of the country. While from some parts of lne country have come reports of more or less faint attempts to stir up senti- ment against the registration, there has been nothing of the kind in Phoe- nix or the Salt River Valley, nor in other parts of the state. Arizona is ready and willing to respond to the proclamation of the president and en- roll her full man power.
 The registration booths will be open for fourteen hours today, starting at ' o'clock and closing at o'clock. They will be in each election precinct of the city and will be in charge of regularly appointed registrars, four to each pre- clnct. In outlying country districts the place of registration will be same as for election.
