been added To- the rolls during the

office Friday evening the total regis

In June. 1905. two years ago. the
total registration was less than 10000
and this included the special registra-
Jion OF three days in April, when a few
special booths were established in out
side districts.
only $1,000 voters were registered at
the time Of the presidential primary,
June >. 1908. but at this time the old
registration books were used. The to-
Jal up 10 the time or the August pri-
5naries Ia 1908, at which time the new
registration was used, amounted To ap-
proNimately $4,000, or less than 1900
more tbsn are new registered. With
more than a month still left for regis
tration the former record should be
surpassed by several thousands. Just
how this unusually heavy registration
reflects upon the chances of the va
Vious candidates for the governorship
is a question that is hard to determine
at present. for the. reason that party
and district segregation of the names
on the roll has not been completed.
