only days on which voter not proper

fees will be open until 10 O'Clock every
night until Friday. County Clerk
Keyes has agreed to send deputy 20
any place where fifteen or more voters
will get together to place their names
on the great register.
The foregoing summary Of the sltua-
time for the primary nominating cleo
time for theprimslry nominating elec-
ton indicates the Importance of attend
ing to registration today. Although
three clerks were at the registration
desk in room A at the court house yes
terday a large crowd waited for
chance to register, and despite the ad-
ditional men to be added today 1t Is
probable that a waiting line Will be
maintained at the court house and the
city hall until Friday night, when the
opportunity to register in time to vote
at the primary nominating election NO
vember 10 will be closed.
The desire to register evidences un-
usual interest in the coming municipal
election, and that the Importance of the
preliminary election is generally under
stood, While the mayoralty candidates
and the various clubs and organizations
are getting out their supporters a large
number of voters who stand in line
represent their own initiative regard
ing registration.

ing worker for the machine, talking
confidently yesterday, 'if these defec-
tions were confined to men you don't
know as standbys of the organization,
In, odH m
men who have been known for long
time as reliable precinct or ward lead
ers coming out openly against US ana
working for Alexander or Parish or
Jones it looks bad 1t might as we'll
he adnitted-the situation for the Re-
publican organization in this town is
about as serious as possible, and the
worst is that there Is no outlook for
Improvement.

It. L. o'Brien, who is an independent
candidate for the city council from the
southern section of the city, is receiv-

ganizations in Los Angeles, and has
been instrumental in securing numer-
GUS improvements for the portion of
