FALLING OFF.
There is just one more evening during
| which the voters who have thus far failed
10 get their names on the registra tion list
Will have an opportunity 10 do so, because
when the books at the office OF the city
clerk are closed at o'clock tonight they
are closed for the year 1906
Without a doubt there will be n big
crowd on hand, but even at the best II Is
more than likely that there will be hum
dreds OF men In this city who might get
their names on the voting list IL they
would only take the trouble TO do so.
These men are careless now and are not
Interested, but about the first OF next
November, when the great political ques-
tions are being discussed, the will regret
their failure.
Yesterday. probably because of the
heat, the attendance at the city hall was
much lighter than on the day before, and
there was distinct falling off In the reg
the First and Second wards. while the
Democratic Third ward came TO the front
again In good shape. The total number
OF names added yesterday was 473 divided
as follows: First ward. 43; Second ward.
co: Third ward. 120 Fourth ward, 70; Fifth
ward. a2: Sixth ward, 20.
Previous to yesterday there had been
hrings-tho total registration up TO the
time OF closing last night 1913. The total
registration a year ago was 4769 and IL
Will require the addition OF 456 names to-
day TO equal that. Without a doubt this
number Will be addad. but the number
ought TO be very greatly increased. The
record Is not anywhere near what II ough
10 be considering the amount OF effort
work.
