ABOUT THE REGISTRATION.
An Analysis Shows That 1t Must BE
Considered Fair.

An Analysis Shows That 1t Must Be
Considered Fair.
q consider the registration for the
two days upon which voters have regis,
tered themselves perfectly satisfactory
from any political point Of view" said
a man who had to do with the election
Of two years ago, but who is not active
now. 1.-The registration so far COM
pares very favorably with that Of the
spring, and that is as we'll as we can
expect to do. [ believe it is slightly in
advance of the spring registration foI
the two days. Well, I want to tell you
that there was no lack Of interest last
spring, but there was some lack in
both parties of the wherewithal to pay
for the actual work of getting the vote
out.
1t may be news to you, but it Is a
fact that it cost the Republicans sew
eral thousand dollars to register the
vote two years ago. In every precinct
there were a number Of men and teams
at work on all the days Of registration
and as much attention was paid to it
as 1T usually paid to the election itself
The registration and the vote was
abnormaHy large. The people ranged
on the two sides of the question were
attacked in the prejudices or their CON-
victions and they were ready enough
to look to it that they might be per.
mitted to vote. Don't look for any,
thing like that vote.
Another thing that is shown in the
analysis Of the registration SO far is
the fact that there are a great many
foreign-born people here who have not
yet been naturaIized. In the precincts
where the foreign-born vote is largest
the losses in registration are most
numerous. In the big Scandinavian
precincts of the First ward this is very
noticeable. Under the new constitu.
tional provision we have very many
less voters and with a lack Of great
party issues there is no chance Of St
Paul improving much on the vote Of

John Ives In the course of landslide.
1t has needed no argument to show
Mic that his victory was the fruit of
personal popularity, pure and simple.
His friends say that even In the new
arrangements of districts Horton Is not
the man to win the victory for the
Republican senatorial ticket. The knife
that Mic and his friends drew has not
been sheathed by any means. It Will
be used on Hitler, and Eiler knows 1t.
1t is this which caused the row in the
Republican committee a day or two
ago. when Horizons friends or the COM
mittee threatened that, if that sort Of
thing was to go on. it would be found
that any number Of people could play
at the game
over in Tim Sheehan's district, too,
there is double-end scrap in progress.
"A month ago the organ of the gang
ana of the street car corporation edi-
torially declared that Hitler Horton
must be nominated, as he was just the
man to represent Ramsey county on
the Judiciary committee, adding that,
II layman were chosen from Shee-
hans district, there would be no law
yer on the Judiciary from this county.
IL Is easy to recall the bitterness which
sprung from Sheehan's defeat by Hi
ram stevens for membership on that
committee four years ago next win
ter. Now Sheehan's friends are heard
proclaiming their intention to see that
this Judiciary committee scheme has
been worked once too often, and that
rather than that it shall be allowed
to go as the Dispatch wants it to go,
there will be a '1ayman' elected, as
the Dispatch suggested, from that dis
trict. Certain interests are trying with
might and main to patch up the diff
hculty, with the fond assurance that
both Hiler and Tim will go on the
judiciary committee
inns Irish is keeping him in hot
water right along. With prominent
statesmen like Harry Sundberg, Tim Is
persona non grata. The deliberate slap
In the face which was administered to
him in excluding him from the list of
Republican speakers in his own ward
and which was for the moment so eff
fectfvely resented by NJ W. Fitzgerald,
continues to rankle; and Tins only
nope now is to secure the support of
the Irish Democrats in the Second ward
to stave off his inevitable slaughter by
his Republican friends. In this Tins

Address to "a Large Audience.
A monster Democratic rally was held
at Lucker's hall in the Second ward
last night. The auditorium was packed
to the doors at an early hour, and a
great deal Of enthusiasm marked the
proceedings. The features Of the even
ing were the addresses Of Mr.. Ed Pc
tersOn, Democratic candidate for sem
ator, and Messrs. Pierce Butler and
F. L. McGhee. The other prominent
speakers were James Meade, Demo-
cratic candidate for clerk Of the courts
V. G. Gilman. candidate for register Of
deeds, and T. R. Kane, secretary Of
the state central committee.
Mr.. Ed Peterson, on being introduced
by the chairman, Arthur NJ. Hull, was
received with prolonged applause and
cheers. He began by saying that one
characteristic of the Republican party
was that its greatness was centralized
in few. It was aristocratio. De-

1t is evident that there will be a very
large registration Saturday. All of the
precincts report to Democratic head
quarters that many men, hundreds Of
them, declared that there was TINA
enough for registration and they would
see to it Saturday. 1t is not likely that

commenced early. 1t is very easy to
spoil IA good COW by simply neglecting
the heifer with her first calf; nothing

to make good COW out of a good
heifer, for this requires close atten-
tion; but it pays TO give it, because it
can be done in no other way.

work, and pay well for the privilege.
