The democratic candidates are also busy, Wilson, Clark and Harmon fighting in the states where primaries are being held. Register May 9th—Thursday of this week. You must file your name with the registration board which meets in your precinct on that date. If you don’t register you can’t vote. There are three registration days, but you should do this duty Thursday. Somethingh might happen to prevent you at the next time. Thursday of this week is the first registration day. Are you ready? If not, you should make arrangements so you can register quickly. It is no advantage to wait and if you register early you are aiding the committee, which is expected to feet the vote registered, but who cannot spend any money to do so. If you don’t register, you can't vote. If you are a loyal American you will want to vote. Be sure to arrange to register. The postofflee authorities at Washington have sent out a ruling on the law governing subscriptions to daily newspapers, declaring that you must either pay or promise to pay within the yeat. If the newspaper does not comply with this order, they must pay pound rates, an impossible cost, amounting; to more than the subscription. It is therefore imperative that you either pay or sign "promise to pay.”
