FINAL REGISTRATION DAY
BRINGS UP SMYRNA'S VOTE
FULL REGISTRATION NUMBERS 94S, AND is
BUT 81 SHORT OF TWO YEARS AGO.
Registrations Officers Put On 434 Names Sat-
urday and Leaders of Both Parties We're
Active In Getting Out the Full Vote.

Saturday, the last Registration Day,
and from early morn until the close of
the day leaders of both parties were on
the move to get their men registered.
The result was that 434 names were put
on, nearly equal to the total of all the
preceding days. On the Eastern side
Registrar Cunning put on 2O4 names
Saturday and Registrar Phillips $50.
The former was over so short of two
years ago and the latter AZ. The COM
plete registration for Duck Creek Hun
bred is 948 which is 81 short of the
registration two years ago. In fact it
has been ascertained that at least 10
have failed to qualify in the district,
and for what reason no one knows, for
among the list are some prominent
citizens. Both sides are claiming to
be in the lead with the chances more
favorable to the Republicans. The
Democrats claim that the "indepen-
dents and ''foaters hold the balance
of power. One thing seems almos
certain, there will be more split tickets
in Duck Greek Hundred this year than
Z has been the case for a number OF
elections. The Temperance vote may
figure largely in this campaign and
since one Republican nominee CIV. H.
Baggs for Representative and one
Democratic nominee alexander M
DAILY for State Senator) have been en-
dorsed by the temperance folks and
those friendly to the local option
there will be necessarily some spill
tickets. This may be offset however
by pull for popular candidates ant
the result promises to be close.
Republican leaders are gratifed a
the reports received from Saturday
registration of voters in Wilmington
and throughout the whole state. TIL
Republicans had big lead for the frs
four days registration and the report
indicate that they maintained it Satur
day and that New Castle County will
continue safely Republican in Novem
Der. The Republicans estimate thei
lead in Wilmington to be about 200C
while the Democrats concede the Re
publicans but 500 in majority in Wi
mington. The Democrats claim t
! have beaten the Republicans at leas
1000 on Saturdays enrolment, but tn
Republican reports are that the voter
qualified Saturday are evenly divide
between the two parties. The Re
publican outlook for the Legislator
also is reported to be as good as it We
two years ago and better for some di
q tricts. Thus far the Anti-Briber
: League has failed to intimidate I'll
r party workers, for it is said thu
e money was used In the same old wa
i Saturday to get voters to enroll. Tn
4 Democrats in Wilmington SCENE
d to have the greenbacks and it
n reported that their fund W,
/, contributed largely by the liqu,
y interests, in return for whiC
IS Democratic Assemblymen are to o

1T able legislation. The outcome of til
d may be that the next Legislature w
