THIS is THE LAST DAY
Voters Must Register Today or
Lose Their Ballots.
WORK .0F YESTERDAY
ADMITTED THAT DEMOCRATS
HAD THE BEST OF IT.

The hardest work of the campaign up
to date was done yesterday by the
active men and women of both parties
in their attempts to get the voters
registered who had not been corraled
on the previous days The total regis
tration for the day was in the neighbor-
hood of $500 and this brings the total
m close to $4,000 It is the opinion of
the chairmen of the opposing commit
tees that there are fully 1000 yet TO be
registered, although a number of the
districts are registered up very close to
the limit How many of the remaining
l 600 can be brought in by the workers
today is a question that is very difficult
to answer and can be better answered
after 8 o'clock tonight.
1t was not possible to get the full
registration figures last night. Inc nS-
ures were obtained from tWenty-One or
the fifty-tWO districts in the city In
/ these twenty-one districts, 1904 voters
were registered or an average or ffty-
two to the district. If this average
/ were maintained throughout the city
! the total for the day would be 200;
/ but il was the opinion of Chairman
Wilson that >, 800 would be nearer the
right figure as some of the outlying
districts did not register SO heavily as
| the inside districts. Chairman Eichnor
/ thought that about 1000 were registered
/ for the day.
! The banner district yesterday was the
/ FOrty-SecOnd, with Seventy-nlne regis
/ tered The Twenty came next
/ with seventy-eight, and the Fifty-Sec-
! Ond next with seVenty-siX names put
! upon the list. The Fifth district regis
! tered Sixty-eight yesterday and
| brought the total for that district up
to an even 500. This il is thought is the
/ largest registration in the city.
Hustling For Voters.
As on the previous days the Repub-
! licans had three times the number OF
| carriages yesterday that the Democrats
! used and very many more workers Bu1
| il was noticed that many of the rigs
| were running around empty all day
| long while many more were standing
| idle in front of the county headquar-
| ters. The Democrats relied largely OF
volunteer rigs and volunteer workers
and in many Instances the Democratic
voters walked long distances through
the mud to get their names on the reg
! istratiOn lists. but they got there JUS
the same and in many of the districts
! there are not more than three or fOu
! Democrats to be registered and some o
| these were out of town.
! Chairman Wilson expressed himsel
last night as perfectly satisfied will
/ the days work. 1T is useless TO Civ
| figures on incomplete returns" he said
| but so far as we have heard we ha,
| very much the best of the days work
! We are perfectly satisfied and if III
| other fellows can find any comfort il
| the way things are going we certainl.
should not be envious-"
Republicans Are Blue.
There was no enthusiasm around Re
publican headquarters Dennis EichnO
| was as impressive as ever When h
was asked how the day went he CAV
the same laugh that he used to give L
1898 and said. 20. we got 90 per cent o
| those registered today
Dennis can take punishment bette
than any other Republican in the state
He has been whipped so often that h
seems to really enjoy the sensation
! Jodie EIdredge is beginning to wea
that hunted look that was so familia
in 1853. Neither was satisfied with tn
| days registration and d gOOdly humble
of the so-caIled workers were in no
water all the evening They would b
bounced before election day We're it no
: for their votes.
The final rustic for the stay-at-hOm
voters will be made today This will b
the last chance and those who do no
come under the wire before 8 O'clOc
tonight will be deprived of the priv
| lege OF voting this year The Repuh
: leans will make a desperate effort t
l get out their laggards in a vain al
tempt TO overcome the strong Demo
p cratic lead. and the Democrats wi
work just as hard to pile up their ma
jOrity so high that the enemy will b
completely buried and never heard c
again.
