II I WOMEN CRYING TO VOTE AND I ,f WOMEN REFUSING TO VOTE. On last Tuesday many citizens were I II registered, but there are today 4119 I II unregistered voters. Out of a total Jll of about 11,000, nearly one-half of those who are free to register have S I failed to do so. I M This Is a most startling condition. II What is wrong with our citizens? II i Have they lost interest In the coun- If evade the responsibility Imposed by if suffrage, and do they expect the gov- II ernment to run on without them? 1 I There should be a law to require the 1 f publication of the names of thoso who I II fail to register and vote, i j Elections are hold for the purpose i I of obtaining a consensus of opinion of the citizens, but if one-half of the I fig i people remain away from the polls, the expression falls far short of what It should be. 1 Hft There were only 1572 persons reg- I. Jj ; istered on the three registration days. ' j ' On October 31 and November 1, the 1 two remaining days of registration, Jill ) vigorous efforts should be put forth to I bring in the 4119 still off the books. HP Register and vote, or give up the right of suffrage. Ten thousand women in the employ ID of one of the great political parties are going through the nation proclaim- uey 3X6 saves because tnev can' I 9 not vote. At least; 2000 women in If 1 Ogden, who have been urged to regis- l ter, have failed to do so. Either the 1 ) bewailing of the females from the east I l j is false, or the local women do not : realize how serious is their self- I j abnegation.
