CANDIDATES
HARD At WORK
Every Effort Being Made to
Bring Out Strength OF
Parties
PRIMARY VOTE WILL POLL SHORT
Contention in the Republican Ranks
Causes Many to Refrain From
Placing Their Names on the Resip-
tration Books.

There is every indication that al
though strenuous efforts are being
made 10 induce the reluctant and ln~-
different voter to place his name on the
registration lists today that the pr
mary vote viii fan short Of that OF
the last election.
on the part Of the Republicans this
is attributed by those IN a position to
know to the factional fight that is be-
ing waged within its ranks. Many
have absolutely declined 10 come forth
and register inasmuch as the dissension
exists. declaring that they have be-
come disgusted with the existing state
of affairs and care little what may be
the result of the election. Even the inn
portance Of "a national election does not
appear TO affect this class OF voters
as 1t is generally admitted that the
electoral end Of the ticket will go
through.
Candidates and friends OF candidates
however are alert and are actively at
work endeavoring TO get their vote out.
Many offices throughout the city are
deserted and the usual Saturday half
holiday in public positions is being rig
idly observed. A number OF candidates
have entrusted the work Of registering
voters in the city to their friends and
have gone to different points In the
county to superintend personally the
work.
Registration in the City.
In Wilmington there Is normal
vote OF 5000, and 1t Is believed that II
one-half OF this number is found upon
the registration books at the close OF
the day a good days work will have
been accomplished.
During the first day OF registration
the number who took advantage OF IL
was unusually light. so light in fact
that IL Is not believed that those reg
listered In the last two days before the
primaries viii be sufficient to swell the
figures so that they will reach the
number reached az the last reglstra-
tion.
In the hundreds adjacent to Will
Imlngton the same condition Of affairs
appears TO exist and when noses are
lcounted at the close OF the voting
places it is believed more than one cam
didate win be disgruntled at the mum
ber Of his supporters who have quail
fled themselves TO vote at the primar-
les.
