Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 August 1912 — Have You Registered? [ARTICLE]

Have You Registered?

If you have not yet registered and thus qualified yourself to vote at the November election bear in mind another opportunity to do so will be given you September 6,- sixty days prior to election. The registration boards will be in session in the several precincts at the same places add during the same hours as the May registration. Let no good citizen, disfranchise himself by neglecting to register or refusing to register because the law imposes unnecessary •burdens upon him. It is unwise to quarrel with the law now. Do not take the narrow view that the law seeks to disfranchise you or any other legal voter. It but seeks to tnrow the cloak of honesty about our eltctions that every legal and hones: vote may be iijnestiy counted. if the next legislature can find a way to amend the registration law making it apply only to the larger cities and keep within the constitution no doubt this will be done. But for the purposes of the coming election we must qualify according to the law as it is now. Delay is dangerous. Possibly that next and last chance may find you unable to attend. Register September 6 and have it over with. It is surprising how easily and quickly it is done. Remember not to register means not to vote.
