tration day. Anyone who did moi
vote at the general election last year
however. must register in person to-
morrow if he or she desires to vote
at the primary this year..
As the primary this year is of the
utmost importance it is desirable
that every voter be in a position to
vote. 1t is at the primary where the
candidates are selected. This is
really the very foundation of good
governments. Those big business
corporations that like to control the
government are interested mainly in
the primaries. If they a get
sssafe' men nominated on both
tickets they do not need to worry
who is elected at the general cleo
ton. The same is true from the
taxpayers point of view. If the peo-
pie will see to 1t hat high class,
honest, capable men are nominated
on both tickets they are sure of eff
Client government no matter which
party is successful at the polls, al
though the principles for which the
different candidates stand may be
different.
Because of the Importance of the
primaries and the fact that those
who did not vote at the general cleo
ton last year cannot vote at the pri-
mary this year unless they register
in person, tomorrow's registration is
Of particular Importance to the
women They are to vote for the
FIRST time this year and therefore
they should make 1t a point to par
ticipate in the primary and help
nominate the candidates.
There is nothing complicated
about registration. The place of
registration is almost invariably at
the nearest school house. In the first
ward, for instance, all the districts
are at school No. Z in Paterson
street. All the second ward districts
are at school No. 1 in State street and
the third ward districts are at the
grammar school in Barrack street.
For the fourth ward the first, second
and fourth districts are at school No.
4 In Smith street and the third dis
trict is at school No. 8 in Neville
street. The fifth ward districts are
all at school No. 2 in State street. In
the sixth ward school Nc. 5 in Cort-
landt street is the location of the
first district, school No. 6 in john
stone street the second district,
school No. 8 in Neville street third
district, and school No. Q in Law
n street the fourth district.
Under the heading city Adver-
tisement, Election Notice." which is
published in today's EVENING
NEWS will be found a description of
every district so that every voter can
tell which district he or she lives in.
II there is any doubt, however, the
safest way is to go to the nearest
school house and tell any of the
men sitting behind the table, where
you live and that you want to regis
ter. They will be able to direct you
to the right district board, in most
cases il the same building. Once the
right district board Is located you
will be asked several questions about
yourself. such as your name. your
address, whether more than one
family lives in the house or not,
whether you own the house or are a
tenant. how long you have lived in
the state. and last but not least. how
old are you. In the case of the men
they state their age as a matter of
course; women, however, we under
stand are, in some places. merely
asked to say whether they are over
fMenty-one or not. If they are they
are so recorded and are allowed to
sign their name in the book. which
Is the last thing to be done. We do
not know what will be required of
the women in this city as to the age
question.
All this takes but a minute or two
and having thus registered. the per-
son is ready to vote at the primary
September rs. There may be some
hesitation at first. but this win dis
