REGISTRATION IS
SOMEWHAT HEAVY
Names of Many New Voters
Are Placed on the
Books.
AMERICANS WORK HARD
REPUBLICANS NOT NOISY, BUT
THEY GAIN GOOD RESULTS.

Aside from disorder IN some OF the
downtown registration places, which
deputy sheTitts easily quelled, the first
registration day for the coming NUM-
cipal election passed off quietly. The
total number OF voters who registered
showed a heavy gain over the regis
tration on the first day of last year,
and party managers are confident that
a heavy vote will be polled at the COM
ing election.
The American party workers were
out in force and provided checkers and
carriages galore, but other parties pre-
ferred to work more quietly. The Re
publicans got their voters to the regis
tration places without any undue noise
or buster, and the party managers are
entirely satisfied with the manner In
which the voters turned out. 1t is con-
fidently expected that on next regis
tration day, which is Tuesday, Oct. 70,
a much heavier registration viii
be made. ana when the books are closed
there will be exceedingly few qualified
voters who have not registered in their
respective precincts.
At Republican headquarters the tel
ephones were ringing every minute,
and Farley Jensen, secretary of the
city committee, and his assistants
were kept busy telling prospective
voters where they should go to regis
ter.
Fred c. Lcofbourow, city chairman,
said the reports received last night in
dicated that nearly One-haif of the new
voters had been registered. and. de-
spite the fact that the Republicans had
no carriages out, he believed that the
proportion of Republicans was higher
than the relative strength at the last
election.
Trend Against Americans.
The Twenty-eighth district shows the
trend against the American party on
the west side in a startling manner In
this district, where the normal vote is
ABS, only forty-three registered during
the day, despite the fact that this has
been known as an American district
and the American party had a small
army of workers out with two carriages
trying to find men and women who
would say they intended to vote the
American ticket. There have been
many removals from the Twenty
eighth district in the last year on ac-
count of the stockade which Mayor
Bransford, backed by the American
party organization, attempted to es-
tablish in that district. Every voter
who was forced to leave the west side
on account of the stockade can be
counted on to register his disapproval
of the American party administration
by voting the Republican ticket this
fall
In several of the districts the eau
vases and books were in poor condi-
ton, and checking in many instances
was a matter of guess work.
In the FOrty-siXth district the regis
tration list was found TO be in bad
shape. About $50 changes in names
and addresses We're necessary, and it
was difficult for the canvassers to ar
rive at any reasonable approximation
of the situation.
]. E. Darmer, city chairman for the
American party, estimated last night
that the total registration had been be-
tween 1920 and 4,500, and Mr.. Darmer
mOdestly claimed $500 of these as
sure American VOtesF
Following are the registra tons, in
part.
