President QuiGR OF the Republican County
Committee and his deputy leaders are consid-
eTably disturbed by the light registration. and
they have determined now to stir things up.
Friday and Saturday are the last two days OF
registration and II the figures are to como
anywhere near those OF last year 1t
will be necessary to improve on last
years last two days figures by
not less than rs per cent. The Republican
leaders see that they have a herculean task be-
fore them. but they are going to tackle 1t, and
the election district leaders who are not able to
show satisfactory results next Saturday night
are likely to hear something drop.
Additional figures which we're received
at the Republican headquarters yes
terday from upstate cities showed
that everywhere except In New York
city the registration 30 far is larger than 1t
was last year The Republicans up the state
are alive to the situation and the necessity for
the return OF Republican majority to the next
Assembly. but for some reason the Repu bicans
down here. up to the present at least. don t seem
to be. President Quisg and his deputies say
that 1t 10 the duty OF every Republican who
has not already registered to be at the
place OF registration when It opens on
Friday. and to stay there until he sees that his
name is down. This is imperative II the Re-
publican Assembly districts in the city are to
be carried.
One explanation OF the falling of OF the
registration In this city 10 said to be tho
fact that the only organizations that have
made any effort at all to get out the
voters this year have been the Repub-
leans and Tammany Hall. Ordinarily the
Citizens Union. the Labor people. and half

have all been busy talking about candidates.
and they have done nothing at all toward get
ting the voters registered.
The Fusion ticket. which is the Republican
ticket this year. got its first good boost last
night since It's nomination. The Bar Association
met and practically endorsed and urged the
election OF all OF tho candidates for judicial
offices except those nominated for the
Municipal Court bench. The Committee
on Judicial Nominations said it hadn't
had time to investigate the qualifica-
tons OF the gentlemen nominated for
those places. and therefore It would express no
opinion. The meeting was attended by about
800 persons The committees report says:
Time has not permitted the committee to
examine su fflciently into the qualifications OF
the gentlemen who are running on other than
the leading rival tickets. nor Of those who are
candidates for the Municipal Court. The bar
