All workers who have not previous-! ly voted, or have become qualified to | vote in New York State after Jan. | 1, 1922, or who having voted in other states did not become qualified to! vote in New York State until after Jan. 1, 1922, and who have never) voted in New York State, will have to take such a literacy test. Every reader of this paper who might be subject to disqualification should be sure to safeguard his vote and should in addition warn all friends who have not already voted in | the state of New York. The literacy | tests do not apply to those who hav | voted in New York since January. 1,| 1922. Such new voters, as described above, must present a diploma show- ing they have been graduated from an American or English elementary school or from a higher school where English is the language of instruc- tion. In the absence of such a dip- Joma, a literacy test must be taken. These tests will be given between Oct. 10 and 15 from 6.30 to 9.30 p. m. in 20 public schools in New York City to anyone who wishes to take them. To those who pass these te in which ability to read and write Eng- | lish must be proved, a certificate of literacy signed by the Board of Re- | gents of the state of New York will tificate at the registration booth, the | bearer will qualify as a voter.
