REGISTER 111 OCTOBER OB LOSE TDUB VOTE REASONS WHY REGISTRATION LAW IS NECESSARY TO PROTECT LEGAL VOTER AND GET HONEST RESULT. AIMED AT THE CITIES But Law to Be Constitutional Had to Cover the Entire State—What It Would Have Meant to Bryan. If the election were held tomorrow there would be more than 300,000 clUzcna of Indiana outcasts from the polls—disfranchised unable to vote. Unless these 300.(Min dozens with a right to vote If registered take the pains to register on Octu'm r 7, the vote In Indiana will be lighter than ft has been In years, and It will be impossible to even conjecture the result of the election in November. An Investigation has revealed the fact that thousands have merely postponed registration with the full Intention to take the step in October.

This ann nil’i’ent did not say t,t; ; - t! .- le -islature could pass a registration law if it wished, but said that the legislature should pass such a ia« At that time there was nothing like the necessity for a registration law that we have today. It was before the day of large cities, of great in<l istrial development—before great and powerful corporations like the steel trust began to pour thousands of men who were not citizens into the state, and before the Republicans began to practice the plan of importing thousands of non-residents from Kentucky for election day. Because the necessity was not so pronounced, noth- i ing was done. But times have changed. Out in the farming sections where ' the most substantial part of our people reside, it is hard to understand why the registration law was passed Here are some reasons: In campaign after campaigi an in-

terctlng thing to be observed hss been the great negro excursi.ms from Ixmlsvllle that have i-oured thousands from Kentucky Into the city al« week, and • month Ixdfore the election. A poll taken nlity daya before election alwaya light In certain Repnbl|can localities of olty of Indlanai>oll* compared with the po I taken thirty days Thl * ,n crease represented the imported. II legal voWr who had been brought in to kill the vote of a thoroughly quailfled Democrat out In the country. At times thl. vote has been large enough to turn the tide The registration law put. an end to this crime against the legal voter. In every campaign for year, the counties along the Ohio river have .een hundreds of imported negroes from across the river brought over to take temporary Job. on farms and in cities. These men voted, killed the vote of a citizen of Indiana, then returned to Kentucky. Thl. law prevents tbi. crime against civic decency. In Terre Haute a short time ago a large number of Italians working on a railroad, living in box cars, having no place of residence and no right to vote—men who were here today and there tomorrow—were taken into Terre Haute at four o’clock on the afternoon of election day, their naturalization pa'ers were taken out, and they voted over the protest of citizens whose votes were killed by the disgraceful proceedings. This law , will end this sort of thing. In the northern part of the state where the steel trust has established plants the most shameful travesty marked a ceceul election. The votes of farmers in Boone county, Clay county, in every agricultural county of the state counted for nothing, for they were killed by the illegal votes of people who were not citizens. No man has suffered more in Indiana from this sort of thing than William Jennings Bryan. In all his campaigns the great trusts and corporations were against him. and in all his ea-mpaigns these combines brought Into Indiana thousands of illegal vdtv-Fs to offset the votes of the farmers and merchants, and workingmen who voted for the Commoner. This condition has been growing Worse year .after year. Something had to be done FOR THE PROTECTION OF CITIZENS WHO HAD A LEGAL RIGHT ’TO VOTE. The constitution e# the stk.te declared that such a taw should We passed, and it was ensue t-ed Thw point is sometimes made by substantial citizens of cities and country tb*t the law was not needed in tire farming counties and that it shß-91-ta net" have been extended tc these eoH-aties. It is true it was not r.eed»4 there, but in a state election it was impossible, under the law. to pass « law applying only to certain eammwi-tles. It had to be general to- stand- the test of the courts. And i-t .was thought that all good citi-z-e-ii’S- w-ewld be willing to stand the slight in-eoavenience of registration in \la,\ es September or October to make swe that their votes were not lost oe ejection day by being killed by is-amw illegal and imported voter. Ev.ry voter in Indiana who objects ! .te ttet inconvenience of the law should this in mind: The steel trust is against the law. The ward’heelers of the cities are Wtast the law. •Tteih Crooked Business and Crooked 'Pe-l'itics ate against the law. And they are against it because it means that we can have an honest ' ballot in Indiana—that the vote of every- workingman and farmer will cotint in the result and will not be offset b> the vote of some imported crook. However that maj be, the law is on the books and must be obeyed if wo are to vote. Every name not reglst- red after the October registration, is blotted from the list of citizens. Remember this: The international Harvester trust will be greatly pleased if thousands of Indiana farmers fail to qualify to vote on election day The farmer who fails to register plavs into tue hands of this vicious monopoly. And remember this; If you registered in May and have moved into another precinct since, and did not register at the September registration vou must register in October, and if registered in September and h BVe since removed to another prec.net you must register in October The mere fact that you have removed from one P l ace !n a precjnct another, which is i„ the same precinct does not make it necessary for yo „ to register again. And remember this— register— OR YOU CAN'T VO’-c -ki BER 01 E ,N NOVEM-
