DENVER, Colo, Oct S.-A close
analysis Of the registration figures for
Denver, which have now been accur-
ately compiled, brings out some in
teresting facts.
In the nrst place, there is marked
decrease in the first four lower Demo
cratic wards of the city, where in
the past gigantic frauds have been per-
petrated. 1t was at first feared, from
the manner in which certain leading
spirits OF the big mitt" have been
restored to place and power in the
Democratic ranks, that there would
be wholesale registration frauds there
this fall. 1t does not appear that this
has been accomplished. Representa-.
tives of the sheriff's and district at.
torney's offices were on hand last
Monday to see that affairs were KEPT
within the law and 1t is believed thai
the registration books for those wards
are comparatively clean. In the sew.
enth ani eleventh precincts of the
Second ward it is stated that some
padding was done. but this will be in.

ton in the l,ws~ wards, there was a
dence wards. This fact has made the
Republican party workers jubilant, as
1t is almost a guarantee of big Re
publican majority this fall. The issues
which initiated against the Republic
an ticket last spring are not in evi
dence this fall. This has been great
source Of inspiration to Republican
workers in Denver.
The total registration this fall in
Denver is 1924 against 1929 for the
spring election, showing Il gain of 6.
095. The influence of the splendid
Taft meeting in Denver undoubtedly
had strong effect on the registra.
tion in the Republican wards The
eighth ward runs 1,13S over the total
registration in the spring; the ninth
ward shows gain of $50; the tenth
ward shows the largest gain of all,
l,225; ihS thirteenth ward shows a
gain of 1,OO1 and the twelfth ward
shows a gain of 76O. These are Re.
publican wards.
| The first four wards. which are Dem.
ocratic, show decreases. Registration
in the first ward is 1872 less than for
the spring election. the second ward
81 less, the third ward $40 less and
the fourth ward 457 less. All other
wards are about the same as in the
spring.
Republican workers were out In full
force on Monday. There was n fair
showing of Democratic workers, but
the Democracy as a rule has been
apathetic. There is no heart in their
efforts, for SO far as state issues are
concerned they have little to talk
