ADD $500 NAMES
TO VOTERS LIST
Makes the Total Registration
for Wilmington Greater
Than Ever

That the number of men qualified TO
vote at the election on the license
question on November 5 will be greater
than at any previous election in WI
mington Is assured by the heavy regis-
tration on Saturday. 1t is estimated
that between 1000 and $500 persons
were enrolled on Saturday the higher
number being nearer to the registra-
tion than the lower. As there We're
$4,000 names on The registered lists for
the previous election. this makes 2O.-
800 now qualified. There Is another
day for registration. Saturday next.
when the number eligible to vote will
be increased.
In addition to the heavy registration
on Saturday, many transfers We're re-
corded from one district to another.
Both sides hal runners" out to get
their unqualified men to register. and
the "wets" and "drys' both are claiin-
ing the advantage over the other in
the days enrolment
From e canvass made Of several dis
tricts il appears that the license forces
got shade the better Of Saturdays
registration In one district where
forty persons were registered. thirty Of
them We're for wet and ten for
dry" IN imodier district the rcgist-
cred men stood twenty-five for wet
and thirteen for dry" OF course
there We're districts where the books
showed the "drys" to have the adj
vantage
No trouble was reported on Satur-
day. and there were very few chal-
lenges exercised as to the right Of men
TO register.

The Street Meetings.

Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
The character and methods Of. the
men who are directing the Anti-Li-
'cense campaign may be judged by their
effusion attacking the Anti Prohibition
meeting at Fifth and Shipley streets. L
should have thought that they would
have been satisfied with the disorder
caused chiefly by the Salvation Army
there
These Anti License persons should
remember that others have a right to
express their views as the Anti License
funny men, II is true that the ANTI
Prohibition speakers at their meetings
have had something different from the
long face. puritanicaL woe begone ex-
preston that surrounds the Spaid OUT
tit, and it may be true that the Anti
Prohibition speakers being working
men do not suit the other fellows but
they should remember that working
men have votes and as much interest
in this campaign as any other class
of citizens.
The slur on Mr. Hogan in the Anti
License advertisement published in
your paper merely confirms what he
and other Anti Prohibition men have
said that the Anti-License 'janboree
looks down upon Mr.. Hogan ana at
tempts to ridicule him out of the fight.
But they will find their mistake. Peo-
pie viii not approve of such tactics. No
wonder they spoke of Hogan's Allev.
Mr. Hogan's bowling has knocked the
Anti License ten pins in every direction
and he has made a ten strike.
{ Yes, Mr.. Gallagher is letting it go. He
did let go some good hard sound sense
as TO how the puritanical prohibition
would affect the wage workers Say
lor's horn pipe also spoke pretty loud
land Anti-License viliher will be doing
THE song and dance act before this cam
paign is over. They are already dane
ing to their own music of abuse and
vilihcation, and attempts to belittle
men who have as. much right to state
their views as they have.
Yours sincerely,
Fair Play

WANT BRIDGE
FINISHED SOON

Much dissatisfaction is expressed at
the slowness of the Board Of Park
Commissioners in building the ap-
proaches to the new Van Buren, street
bridge The only way the bridge can
be used now, is for pedestrians 10 climb
up to it. When the structure was built
the cost Of S35.00O. was evenly
divided between the Park Commission
and the Water Department. The
structure carries the new water main
across the Brandywine to connect the
Weldon farm reservoir with the local
plant in this city. II was agreed that
the Park Commission would build the
approaches TO the bridge and the
Water Department lay the walks and
install the lights.
The question of building the ap-
proaches TO the structure was discussed
by members Of the Park Board at
their last meeting and one member was
heard to say there was plenty Of time
yet in which to decide TO do the work.
In the meantime the people must wait.

Their grievances are too great for them
to return to work without some conces-
