REGISTER TO VOTE!

Regardless of party affiliation,
all of us should register to vote in
the coming spring and fall cleo

chise is a cardinal right enjoyed
by the citizen of a democracy. 1t
determines his social and econom-
ic welfare to large degree, since
it Is his only means of direct par
ticipation in the important bust
ness of government.
1t behooves all community lead
ers of religious, civic, fraternal
and labor organizations to exhort
their emmbers to REGISTER AT
ONCE. They should ascertain
those who have already registered
and Undue such persons with the
enthusiastic desire to persuade
others of their acquaintance to
register Activity of this sort must
not be undertaken in a spirit of
craftsmanship, pushing registration
to the advantage of any particular
party or favored candidate. Since
registration advances good citizen
ship, which benefits the nation,
our approach to 1t must be non
partisan.
Information about registration
should be obtained from the prop
er authorities in each locality at
the City Hall or Town Hall or
wehrever the place designated for
the purpose may be.
The Civil Liberties Club and

Get Ready to Vote

In 1916, the voters of Seattle
and King County will go to the
polls to thoose their city and
county officers. Even with thou
sands in the armed services, many
of them overseas, there is no rea-
son why there should not be a big
ger vote cast than in any election
ever held here. This will be the
case IL all citizens show the good
judgment and patriotism to quail
fly for the primary and then take
the time to go to the polls and
vote. This applies to WOMEN as
much as to men.
There are many people who
contend the elections of city and
county officers are equally as i'm
portant, if not more so. than the
elections of state and national of
ficers. City and county officers
conduct the affairs of govern
ments that are closest to the peo-
pie. The men to serve in local of.
fices are those whom thousands
know personally; their qualifica.
tions are usually known better
than the qualifications of men fol
state and national offices.
1t will be "a FREE election fol
FREE citizens. There is no excuse
therefore, for any citizen to pass
up the opportunity to help choose
the city and county officials.
Many citizens of the city ant
county have already qualified Il
