Several straggIers dropped in and want

II they were in time TO register for the
election for fence or no fence. When in
formed that they were too late to register
for that election, though they might reg

ali stated that they did not care to reg

ton at present.

who will compare them with the regis

alphabetical lists of the voters with mill
tia districts and city wards for each of
the voting precincts. The registrars are

This election came along in a hurry,
when it is considered that it must take
| place under a registration law which was
| hardly contemplated to be used before
next fall, and it is going to take extraor-
binary work to get through in time. The
no fence people seem confident that they
will carry the day, but neither side is
| doing much talking.
Judge Falligant appointed Mr. John D.
| Charlton yesterday as a registrar under
the new general registration law, to take
! the place of Mr.. Robert J. Wade, who has
Mr.. Charlton is considered member OF
| what was known as the Citizens Club
| faction, or the faction opposing that "a
| which his predecessor belonged. The Law
| contemplated that In each county the OPP
| posing political factions should have rep
| resentation on the board of registrars,
| and with this idea in view when it first
| went into operation, Mr.. John !. Nor
| risey was appointed to represent the Clti-
| zens Club faction, Mr.. T. f. Johnson 10
| represent the republicans. and MIR. r. ].
| Wade to represent the Tammany, or OPP
| posing faction to the Citizens Club.
Shortly after the appointment of Mr.
| Charlton a number of leading members OF
| the latter faction came to the conclusion
! that the appointment gave the Citizens
| Club faction two representatives among
| the registrars, while they had none. They
| had made no nomination, and although
| the time is drawing near when the regis
| trars will have to begin their work they
| did not expect an appointment Sc soon
| Judge F'alligant will probably be asked
| to reconsider the appointment so that
! they may have representation.
