The city election will mean much to
every one of them and should be par
ticipated In by every man who will
have a vote. The Drat requisite, how
ever. for voting at the city election
Is that you rnuat register.
By a peculiar twist of the city
charter and the construction placed
on It by the attorneys of the city,
unless a person is registered ho can
not vote. There will be no swearing
in of voters. It cannot bo done.
There Is only one way In which a
person can secure the right to vote

2 p. m. until 5:30 p. ni. This will
afford every man an opportunity of
placing Ills name on the registration
books. If you fall to register you

Rcprosentattv«! Palmer, Democrat of
Pennsylvania, stlrr««l things up tn
the house of Representatives yester
day by th«* delivery of the most vitri
olic sp«*ech that han been delivered
this season. Declaring that the In
surgents had been whipped Into line
by the refusal of public pap, charg
ing that t'ongres« and the Adminis
tration failed to keep party pledges,
h«* poured forth a speech filled with
peppery denunciation. The remarks
were made during a discussion of the
pension bill. In part, Mr. Palmer
said:
"The President's legislative pro
gram will go down before the insldu-
oun attacks of a system now unfor
tunately under the control of the
executive as well as the leglnlatlvo
branch of the Government. We have
witnessed the sp<*ctacle of the great
est friend conservation ever had
hurled from the councils of the Ad
ministration, because of his over*
xealous support of a cause to which
he has devoted Ills life. We have
seen him It'd Into court before a Con
gressional Investigating commllt«*e as
