should be made by every voter. male

from the performance Of the public duty
OF registering on one of the days next

rolled Republicans In the city urging
them to register carly and giving the
location OF their registration places In

OF a civic card, which is entirely non

ter. About $4,000 of them will be post
cd In apartment houses, stores and other
public places. They will read "Atten-
tion. Men and Women. Register and
