This morning when asked how tn registration for the coming city election was progressing Clerk Dan Mckay stated that the voters were very slow in coming out. More than 225 names which appeared on the registration roll last year have not been enrolled this year
 The registration books will close Saturday night at 9:S0 o'clock March 31, and if you are not reg istered, you cannot vote. Because you are registered, while you should vote you are not compelled to do SO, and it may be that at the last moment you may wish to cast your ballot, and thus take a part in the selection of the officials who are to govern the city for the next year
 Don't put it off for another day. Co tonight and register. It will only take a few moments, for on election day, which is Tuseday, April 8, you may regret that you have disfranchised yourself by not doing so
