The registration OF voters In Manila
was very disappointing, indeed. The
number registering was not nearly so
great as anticipated and of the vast
crowds that thronged about the booths

went largely out OF curiosity. and see
ing nothing interesting, soon retired.
The res1ilt does not seem encouraging
