VOTERS MUST REGISTER MONDAY. OCTOBER 4 • Men and Women Alike Must Register in Order to Vote On November 2. WHERE BOARDS WILL MEET Every Woman in Nappanee and Vicinity Should Not Fail to Register Next Monday. Can any person, man or woman, elaim to be a good citizen who, having the right to vote on Tuesday, November 2, fails to do so through his or her indifference or negelct? We believe such a person cannot claim to be a good American. This is a “government of tM people, by the people, for the people.” It is manifest that the indifference or neglect of the citizen to exercise his or her right to vote tends to defeat the aims, the means and the ends of a representative government. No voter can exercise the franchise pn Tuesday, November 2, unless he or she shall be properly registered at that time. If any voter is registered in the voting precinct where he or she now resides, it is not necessary to register again, in order to vote in November. But if any person, otherwise qualified has become of age, having never previously registered, or if any person shall reach the age of 21 on or before November 2, that person must register or he or she cannot vote. If any person who is a voter has, since he or she last voted or last registered, moved from another state into Indiana, or from another part of Indiana into any township or ward in Elkhart county, or moved from one township to another township, then that voter must register in the township or ward where he or she now resides, or he or she cannot vote. Any person who will become of age Tuesday, Nov. 2, or between October 16 and November 2, must become registered in the manner indicated below. Where to Register. Registration places in Locke and Union townships have been fixed by the county election commissioners as follows: Locke Township. N —Hahn Building, Nappanee, Ind. S—2sl Market St., Nappanee, Ind. M—ls 6N. Main St., Nappanee, Ind. Union Township. N —Strycker School House. S —First National Bank Building, Nappanee, Ind. E—Stump School House. W —l6o E. Market St., Nappanee, Ind. Every Voter Should Register. We hope every voter in Elkhart county will not only register if not already legally registered, but will also vote on Tuesday, November 2. There never was a time in American history when it was so necessary for oUr- people to demonstrate to the world that it is possible to operate a government, on the theortf and in actual practice, as a government where the people themselves dq the ruling through the rulers whom they choose themselves. Our system is on trial right now before the whole world, and need to show that it is a workable system, by operating it successfully, with all the people taking their part in it and meeting their responsibilities.
