those these who chave not been seen may have their names placed on the list the conditions which the law governing registration prescribes prescribed it must be remembered ie that the registrars are acting under a law an RUA and not over it they must be law ob I 1 ers era and makers that so lat far they perform and require of ve rot what the law defa demands ands they must respected but so far only th men are not public masters they arit ax servants placed in position to t secure a free and pure are I 1 ballot to every man qualified vo for r the first time in many years the TV omen of utah who have to make the land what it Is today to day a joy jay to the traveler sad aad a bless ilig to honest toilers boilers toi lers are to be deprived of participation in those political privileges F ages which their f had accorded them this phase of the political condition of utah is 19 d due me to those who would rege regenerate utah by taking from every latter day saint the right to vote and to hold ofte office it will therefore be idle to make any attempt for the ladies to register as it is a great loss lose to the peoples People party sParty will demand mores earnest work on the part of those to whom the franchise is pre served and no feeling ox of c 0 nor eva of business consider considerations consideration atio should be allowed to interfere between th the citizen and his clear duty in the present ebur we do de rao hot wish the impression to get gat out that we have any fear of the result the reign of cf economical and honest government as it hill has been given to utah for years by the peoples party can yet vet be preserved throughput throughout the territory but it is an hour when every man should exercise his privileges nay these very privileges as matters now stand are a dat duty every man who can vote should should do so and he begins the casting casti Qs of his vote by seeing that his name is placed upon the registration list and kept there the registrars in the main ATO are chosen from a class of men vf who no are opposed to the peoples party woo who will work all they can legitimately to secure lie its overthrow and it if we judge from the methods pursued in the recent municipal election at brigham city there are probably emong among the number some who will take chances in resorting to illegal methods to secure the defeat of toe the party that means honest and economical government by the friends of the people we know f farther arther that the organ of the party opposed ased to the people since it has tailed failed la in its attempt to whip the utah commission into the line of policy adopted by it and the so called loyal has turned its attention to the registrars in the hope of obtaining its desired object through them the registrars are personally liable for an infraction of the law and it gives elves to tiie tae citizen thomay who may be wrongfully deprived of the th privilege of registering redress by suit these facts should be clearly ke t in the minds of the people for tt this isnora nota doubt that every avail ab abW b effort will be made to pervert berver the law and subvert the will of the people it is not assuming too much to take tt it for granted grained that reason or none legal or illegal it if there is isa a possibility balty of succeeding in defeating the people eople that possibility will be worked or ai all I 1 it is worth it is not unlikely lor for it has occurred before that many persons qualified led to vote will not be called upon by registrars rs that many persons called u upon on and their names set down will gad and their names missing when they come to vote after the period during which the registrars are to call upon voters has elapsed there will still follow a prescribed time during which all who nave not been registered ered or who may doubt whether their names have been retained way may still make inquiry and take steps to nave have their names put upon the registration list it is important that all who possibly can see that no advantage be taken that their names it if never neier on are placed there if once there are there still we have no ito favors to ask the registrar Is paid for his work it is his duty to be courteous and obliging ging that of the voter ter to be civil and ad considerate si rt but it 1 is the duty of both to do their duty the law is to protect the voter in his bis rights not to help an any party and while the registrar wl will I 1 probably recognize parties as an officer it Is against his duty to do so 80 this remember constantly the law lav demands obed obad lense louge it protects the voter so far as he bomp complies lea with it it protects the registrar only so far as he does his duty |
