strong possibility that J. NJ. Dickin-
son, secretary of war. may shortly
resign from the Taft cabinet The
serious illness of Overton Dickinson,
his eldest son, who has just suffered
a serious attack of heart failure,
coupled with a recent death in his
family, is said to prompt Mr.. Dickin-
son to this thought.
Secretary Dickinson Is now at Belle
Meade, Tenn, where he fastened to
his sons bedside Saturday. Nobody
here assumes to speak authoritatlvely
on the question of his resignation,
but members of the cabinet circle

A MEETING OF
GREAT ENTHUSIASM
THE COMMERCIAL CLUBS FIRST
OPEN MEETING.
BRINGS OUT BIG ATTENDANCE
OF MEMBERS.

The Commercial club held the
first of its open meetings at The Pal
mer last night, and the spirit and
interest manifested augur well for
the success of the new organization.
In calling the assembly to order
President James c. Utterback said
that it would be the policy of the as
ISOLATION not to publish anything as
consummated or even planned until
it had been achieved. as 1t was mis-
leading to the general public, and
lead to criticisms; that it would be
the rule of the club to hold regular,
open meetings., which all members are
urged to attend, when and where
everything before the club would be
freely discussed.
He urged the organization to
widen its functions and to go in for
everything that means for the COM
mercial, social and civic progress OF
the city; that the club should and
would do everything possible to in
duce new Industries to locate, and
assist the ones already here, but be-
fore any bonus would be promised
anything, IL would be most carefully
Investigated.
A delegation from the club will go
to Cincinnati to attend the meeting
of the Ohio Valley Improvement as
sociation next week. and the Cairo
delegates, who will be in the city the
13, will be entertained at breakfast
by the Paducah club. A similar en-
tertainment will be rendered the
Massachusetts Street Railway asso-
citation members, who will be in the
city, on a tour Of inspection on the
.19.
Secretary Fowler told the club last
night of some good work the organ
ization had already accomplished In
having the proposition of the pro-
lection of Tennessee Island, and the
foot of Livingston Point taken up by
the government. Engineers have al
ready been detailed to make the
necessary surveys, so the matter can
be laid before congress.
On the suggestion of Earl Palmer.
the club will hold regular open meet
ings at the Palmer, when dinner win
be served and the first event of this
character was dated for October ~.

Big Falling Off in Democratic
Registration Yesterday While
Republicans Return An Increase
A Loss OF All For The Dem.
ocrats and An Increase Of
AZ For the Republicans the
First Day.

There Is JOY in the Republican
ranks and dismay in the Democratic
today over the results OF the arst
day of registration, and a fact long
ago noted IL be more and more ap-
preoiated by the student OF such
things, that the strength Of the two
parties Is approaching each year
nearer and nearer to equal strength.
Despite the fact that Democratic
nominees and workers exhausted
themselves yesterday carrying voters
to the polls, the Republicans made
the splendid gain Of AZ voters over
the first days registration of 1908,
while there was a decrease of Az In
the Democratic ranks. II is a clear
Indication of the change being
wrought.
Democratic leaders are far from
pleased over the result OF the first
dag. while Republicans are wearing
the smile that viii not come on. 4"
Yesterday the Republicans polled l.
494 against 1852 over the first day
OF 1908, an increase OF az. The Dem
ocrats registered 1900 voters yester-
day, while the first day of 1908
shows 2.377 registered, a decrease OF
AZ. The Independents and Social
lists registered 1G4 yesterday against
i3S the first year last year. an In
crease OF &c. Thus Il Is apparent the
Democratic party was the only one
to fall behind.
By a comparison OF the hgures il
Is seen that the Democrats have
majority OF Az over the Republi-
cans and majority OF 293 over the
combined vote OF the Republican aud
Independents and Socialists. but this
Is not satisfying the Democratic lead
ers. for last year the Democrats had
a majority OF $50 yotea over the Re
pubiicans This year on the FIRST day
registration the majority was cut
down 4iS. practically half.
owing 10 the fact that nearly all
OF the boundaries OF the city pre-
cincts have been changed since last
year It Is diHcult to compare pre-
cincts. but the totals tell the story.

termiped to call on each member of
his church. and. taking the roster Of
