MANY DEAD REGISTERED
Morgan to Make 1T Hot for Those
Who Used COrpSeS' Names.

With his office force nearly busy on week
day. George w. Morgan, State Superintendent OF
Elections. was planning his campaign yesterday Tor
this week-a week which. he says. will begin his
''busy season. with rush. He was at his once
until late in the evening in consultation with his
deputies. Besides a vast amount Of purely cleri-
cal work. there will be also this week tho begin
ming of actions against those who have regis
tered illegally. and important arrests and prosecu
tions predicted.
BY to-day about all the challenge afhdavits and
the completed registry lists will have been turned
over to Superintendent Morgan. Then will ensue
exhaustive checking OF these registry lists with
those Of previous years and with statistics from
the Board of Health. The challenge afhdavits Will
have be investigated, to see whether or not the
challenges were well founded If they Were' ana
the persons persisted in registering, there VIII
be legal proceedings; If not. the challenges
viii have to be withdrawn. The checking up OF
the registry lists the first three days and the
examination of the challenge afidavits for that
period have not been completed yet.
The work so far, however. has disclosed evil
dences Of repeating and much registration on the
names OF dead men. with considerable registration
from addresses from which the persons nave
moved. In most cases Of this sort comparison OF
this years lists with those of previous years anu
some investigation yielded ample evidence for
prosecution Superintendent Morgan will make
Application to the Supreme Court to have these
names stricken from the registration lists and VIII
order the arrests of the persons who reslstered
falsely.
In the early part of the week there will be little
attention paid to the registration of naturalized
citizens Superfntendent Morgan will wait until
after Wednesday before continuing the investlga-
ton Of any of those whom he has under susplc4oh'
TO give them time to make appIcation 10 the
courts to place them on the registry hsts' Aiter
Wednesday. however. the quest for fraudulent
registrations On false naturalization papers will
go merrily.
