If you have not yet registered, you must register then or you disfranchise yourselves. If you have already registered and have since removed into another precinct you must again register from yuor present precinct or lose your vote. A democratic victory may depend upon yuar vote. All that the democratic party lias been striving for in behalf of the )>eopie for sixteen years is involved in your registration. Read the appeal from your state chairman, Mr. Korbly, and register. There are almost 350,000 citizens of Indiana who have not registered and who can't vote until they do. There is every reason to look forward to a great victory for popular government if every democrat does his part and goes to the polls qualified to vote. The contest may depend upon the failure of men to register. A democratic victory maybe lost through over confidence. I appeal to every democrat in Indiana to make himself a committee of one on October 7th to see to it that all his democratic friends and neighbors are registered. ==• Woodrow Wilson became president

He stopped this movement, restored the branching democracy, which is the better half of student life, and gave the university back to the people. Woodrow Wilson was made governor of New Jersey when that state was a byword of reactionism and trust control in two years without rant or bluster he has secured more real progress for New Jersey than most states make in ten years. Woodrow Wilson became candidate lor president when the air was thick with denunciations and counter denunciations, when everything indicated that the nation was booked for ;; campaign of billingsgate and mudslinging. With one straightforward utterance, he raised this campaign from the muck into which Roosevelt had plunged it. and put it on the highest plane of political discussion that the country has seen for years. Woodrow Wilson has rendered signal servile in every position he has been tried. He has been on the side of the people all the time.—Chicago Journal.
