BIG SHORTAGE
DISCLOSED
City Registration VA 1925
Less Than Last Year.
BOTH PARTIES ARE COMMENTED
Republicans Think Their Result Best Tor
Some Years. end Lsmecrats Are Happy
Over Effect Of Rallies.

For the past week the tally sheets at
city hall have shown marked falling on
from the figures OF year ago and in
spite of the renewed energy with which
the ward workers hustled there was a
shortage Of l025 when the office OF the
board OF oanvassing and registration
closed last night.
The total registration recorded is 1913
against the 1898 Of last year.
The men OF both Democratic and ne
publican parties who are observers OF the
signs Of the times seem TO be well
pleased with the results and with the IN
terest shown and David j. Barr. chair
man OF the Democratic city COMMITTEES,
said in regard TO IL:
'I am well satisfied with the interest
taken In registration. There was very
large resgistration last year and IL was
very easy to see the reason Tor IL. Inc
street railway strike was on At the time
that registration was being talked OF and
that aused a great many men who had
formerly taken but little interest In pub
lie AFFAIRS to register. When II is taken
into account that the other cities OF the
state have a large registration this year
much larger than they have had for a
long time, II is almost certain that there
will be larger registration throughout
the state than ever before"
The members Of the Democratic state
central committee. which had very care
fully and systematically paid attention TO
securing registration In Providence, East
Providence. Pawtucket and Blackstone
Valley. and had the city work under Col.
Thomas H. Dopahue, express themselves
as well satisfied with the results here
and In Rwtucket.
The chairman of the Republican city
COMMITTEES. Hunter c. White seemed to
be equally pleased and said:
II have no hesita don In expressing the
frm belief that the Republican registra-
ton is the best In years, II not the best
ever had In this city. A year ago We
found II extremely difficult to awake in
terest In our voters. This time they
have responded In a most satisfactory
way. and think tho Republicans all over
the state are to be congratulated on their
registration IN Providence.
1T understand that even our Democrat
70 friends concede that the registration
OF their political opponents Is a trtne i'm
proved over q year ago"
