 II haven't analysed it yet but it will undoubtedly keep lot of malcontents from voting the Democratic ticket"
 The utmost surprise is expressed in DO litical circles here at the exceedingly large registry that has been evident during tho few days of registration in the state.
 Governor Flower said, 1t will be no ticed that the registry is larger even than in n presidential year. and 1t indicates that the people are very much interested in the coming election"
 Do you think that the statement that there is an increase particularly in the Republican districts Is at all significant" was asked.
 ''Therc can be no claim made by either party that the gain will be theirs. It is utterly impossible to diagnose the registry in either direction"
 At the secretary of states office it was said that the shepard people would have to file their nominations by Saturday noon.
