Urges Heavy Enrolment
Mayor Moore threw all his force OF
expression in q call for heavy regis
tration tomorrow. lie said:
Registration is the first duty Of
the citizen who wishes to participate in
the affairs of government. 1t is also
the last duty, in that the man or woman
desiring TO vote and take n citizen $
part in public affairs cannot do so if
he or Sne talI 10 register.
Registration is vital, and so far as
the approaching election is concerned,
tomorrow, Saturday. is the last day for
woman interested in civic affairs who
has not registered might just as well be
in Europe or South America.
Good government depends upon the
support of good citizens. If the gov
crnmpnt is lax. inefficient. eXtravagant.
wnsteful or corrupt it is because the
otherwise good citizen has abdicated
his or her right of suffrage. permitting
| the Indifferent or designing political
agencies to interfere with or seize the
reins Of government.
Every citizen who has the right to
vote should preserve that right by reg
istcrins tomorrow otherwise it will be
too late.
