) their ballots at the primaries
AT the close of registration last
night the San Francisco total ex-
,eeded $4,000. Indications are that
oy midnight approximately, 65, 900
names will be on the roll. This is
about the normal figure for a
primary election in San Francisco,
though several thousand names prob
ably will be ad ed before registra-
tion closes for the general election
in november
1t is only the registration for the
primaries that closes tonight. Reg
istration for the general election will
remain open until September %. and
$ those who fail to Seizure a ,,etA at
the primaries in August still will
have several weeks left in which to
register.
All day yesterday and Monday reg
istration continued as rapidly as
names could be recorded by the cler-
ical force in the registrars office,
the lines Of voters at the desks con-
tinuing both evenings until mid
night. Monday 1.2S2 names were
registered. and even more were
taken yesterday, but the days total
was not cast last night Registrar
Harrington looks forward to a still
greater rush today, and the $4,000
mark probably will be passed.
In addition to the new reefslra-
tion yesterday the rush oaar2e

labor party designation will
lot be permitted to vote.
The rush to change party affilia-
tions at the eleventh hour is largely
. due to the activity of the organiza-
tion behind Alden Anderson. In spite
, OF all arrangements for the delivery
of the union labor vote to Ander
son and the machine, the promised
support has failed to materialize.
Thousands of union labor voters
registered at the outset as such, and
failed TO change to republican affilia-
tion when the word was given. In
the last few days, however, the An
derson directors have been making
strenuous efforts to swing as much
of this registration as possible to
the republican side of the ledger,
with the result that several hundred
changes have been listed.
Up to July Is 40 afidavits were
filed for change of registration. Two
or three hundred more were received
) last week. while nearly 400 came in
Monday and probably 500 yesterday.
) Despite this sitting, however, there
) is bound to remain straight union
labor registration of at least 5000 or
5000 votes, which will be lost abso-
lutely at the primaries. AS mat
