At the close OF business December 81,
the total registration was 1916. showing a
gain Of 455 over 1902 when the total was
1920. although the registration last year
was FOR state and city election only
To January 7th the total was PASS and
the lead has not been reduced for each
days records increase the lead over last
years on Saturday, December 26, when
