You cannot register as a Nonpartisan, as there is no such political party. : ; : So when the assessor comes to register you, you must reg- ister as you have always done—as a Republican, Democrat or Socialist, and go into these party primaries and help nominate the candidates indorsed by the League. So remember: : Do not tell the assessor that you are a Nonpartisan, or you will lose your right to vote in the primaries. Tell him you are a Republican, Democrat, Progressive, Socialist or- Prohibitionist, as you have registered for years; and then if you are a Republican, Democrat, or Socialist, you can vote in these party primaries and help nominate your £ on the Republican ticket; the Democrats will vote for the ;( League candidates on the Pemocl'atic ticket; Socialists will i vote for the League candidates on the Socialist ticket.
