HEAVIEST IN SECOND AND SIXTH WARDS
ChaIrmen of Both the Central Com
nittees Express Themselves ns
satisfied with Outcome Of
the Registration.

Incomplete returns last night from the
several precincts show that the registration
for the municipal election Monday has been
unusually heavy. Both parties made great
efforts to get every voter on the lists reg
stered, and indications are that few, IL
any, failed TO respond to the solicitations
Of the party managers.
As there had been no registration since
the general election in November. 1904, 1t
was naturally anticipated that the registra-
ton this spring would be heavy. but II was
never expected that the number of new
names would be many they are. espe-
clally i'm view OF the fact that the census
last year did not disclose any increase I'm
the population.
Several hundred new voters were reg
istered in the twelve precincts. a large per
cent of these being young men who have
since the election in 1904 become Of age and
entitled to vote. At the same time quite n
large number Of new residents were regis
tered. and II the registration lists count
for anything an unusually heavy vote may
be looked for on Monday.
The registration appears to have been
heaviest in the Second and Sixth wards. al
though only incomplete returns were OBJ
tainable last evening. In the first precinct
added, OF this number 1872 being registered
yesterday. In this precinct ninety-fve new
voters were registered. In the Second pre-
cinct of the Second ward ninety were
registered yesterday making a total of III
for the three days. In the Second precinct
OF the Third ward 147 names were added. of
these ninety-nine being registered yester-
dav.
In the Sixth ward 2G0 were added to the
lists during the three days, no less than
1855 being registered yesterday. During the
last two years there has been "A great deal
Of building in the western part Of the city
and this undoubtedly accounts to a great
extent for the large registration of new
voters in that ward.
OF course many of the registrations this
spring were voters who have moved since
November 1901, from the precinct in which
they then voted into some other voting
precinct
