from the districts of Gregson Springs
and Melrose, the total registration for
Silver Bow county last night at the
close Of the books was 1904. This
exceeds the registration of two years
ago by 1915, and comes within 1l3 of
equaling the registration of four years
ago. The registration two years ago
was l6,16S, and four years ago
amounted to 1927. Dave O'Connor,

democratic party thinks the record of

inspectors stationed in the locality

which is about 50 miles long, and have
them inspected, certifying that every

the conditions to the president and a
special inspector is expected to arrive

tion closed at 8 O'Clock last evening.
The total vote of the county, it is ap-

it was two years ago, when it was A.
113. The registrat in the city and
it's suburbs is about 350 short of the
total two years ago, but the other dis
tricts, generally, will show a gain.
Much of the loss in the city is due to
the fact that many uoters are holding
homesteads.
