their eyes in work.
In the Democratic committee rooms
quiet air OF determination prevails
and as the reports from the various pre-
cincts come in, the feeling grows more
and more pronounced that surprise is
in store for the Republican party in this
county on November 9th. A careful
convass OF the city precincts has been
made and large number of fraudulent
registrations discovered. Measures are
being perfected to prevent the Rspnbli-
can machine from taking advantage Of
this crooked work, and every man who
attempts to vote on fraudulent regis
tration will be arrested and prosecuted
TO the full extent OF the law.
The challenge books now completed are
the best in every respect that have ever
been turned out by the Democrats, and
will be an absolute preventive OF
fraudulent voting. There are now on
the suspected list nearly 1000 names
which will receive the attention OF ex-
perienced challengers or election day.
Mr.. Burns agents will find it a difficu 1t
matter to carry out their instructions
regarding blocks of votes in this county.
At the Republican county committee
rooms the attempt is being made to
belitsle the statement that fraud exists
in the registration, and the increase n
the rate in the city and county is at
tributed to legitimate increase. The
Evening Express came to the re9cue OF
the alleged suffers Monday night and
furnished a table OF increase which it
claimed accounted for 5000 new reg
istrations. Meanwhile the county
board OF supervisors have in
their employ private detectives who are
reporting from 35 to 100 names per day
for investigation by the county clerk,
which proves the fact that the Demo-
cratic county committee had good
ground for making an exhaustive inves-
tigation. At the Peoples party head
quarters the same activity prevails as in
the rooms of the two old parties. and
the party leaders are claiming a largely
increased vote all along the line. The
committee is now engaged in complet-
ing their canvass OF the city and county,
on. which their claim OF increase 10
