had been commissioned when Special
Agent WardIe quit work last evening.
The emainder-191-are expected to
wait upon Mr.. Wardle today-to-mor-
row at the lateSt-and receive their COM
missions. There is now no time for
dalIying. The citizens committee has
recommended nearly 800 applicants to
Mr.. Wardle. The committee will send
in the rest of their recommendations to-
day. Mr.. Wardie has commissioned,
with two exceptions, all who have ap-
peared before him. The two refused
are men who were enumerators in the
June count. The special agent requests
that every applicant for opposition as
enumerator should report to-day at the
federal building. The commissioned
enumerators have also to report and be
furnished with schedules, book OF ill.,
strueIions and map of their district.
The members of the committee having
charge of the absentees are work
ing hard to secure full list.
DESPITE their efforts, it is ap-
parent, unless citizens generally
will assist, that many hundreds, prob
ably thousands, of citizens will be
missed in the recount. 1t is surprising
the number of people just now absent
from the city. What is wanted to
assure full recount is that every eiti-
zen knowing the absence of any resi-
dent should communicate at once with
the census committee. 1t is only by
this means that the absenteeS can be
reached. The committee has obtained
the names of many hundreds, but there
are thousands of names which have not
been furnished. Let every patriotic
citizen see to this, and by one grand
effort unite i'll assisting the special
agent to give the city full count of its
population. A united effort Will alone
do it. Individual effort will do a great
deal, but where there is lack of union
the result is far from satisfactory. A
splendid opportunity is afforded the
city. The last count was admittedly
full Of errors and came considerably be-
low the actual population. A correct
and thorough recount Will show this,
while it will also demonstrate that there
was really no systematic attempt at
fraud i'll the first census.
The recount begins Monday. The
questions citizens will be called upon
to answer are:
l. Christian name in full and initials of
middle name. Surname.

Citizens would do we'll to note these
questions, and if they would prepare a
list of their families. giving each indi-
vidual's name, age, ETC., as required, it
would materially assist the work of
enumeration. These lists, prepared by
the head of the household, can easily be
copied onto the official schedules by the
enumerator when he calls, and consid-
cradle time Will thereby be saved. Re-
member the recount begins Monday.
Prepare your lists at once.
