election and in the club district
60 days before the first primary,
are entitled to enrollment on the
book of the club district in which
they reside.
The book of enrollment for
each Democratic club in the State
will be opened by the secretary
of the club on or before the second
Tuesday in June, 1914.
Democrats who wish to enroll
in order to vote in the primary
elections must present themselves
in person to the secretary ana
sign the roll, giving their age, occupation
and post-office address
and street and number of their
house where these designations
exist.
In case he is unable to write,
the applicant for enrollment must
make his mark on the book of the
club district in which he resides,
and the secretary will put his
name on the book. ,
Notice will be given by county
chairmen of the names of secretaries
of clubs and where books
of enrollment are to be opened.
The books of enrollment will be
closed and filed with the Clerks of
Court the last Tuesday in July.
