1884 VOTERS
REGISTERED
Number Qualified on Saturday
Much Larger Than Had
Been Looked For
NEARLY HALF OF
CITY ELECTION VOTE

Returns from the registration of
voters on Saturday-the first day pre-
liminary to the election of 1910-shOw
that 1854 names were enrolled on the
books in Wilmington. From rural
New Castle county and from Kent and
Sussex counties reports are that the
registration IN some districts exceeded
that of two years ago. In Whining
ton two years ago the registration for
the first day in round numbers was
1900. The registration on Saturday is
surprising. as neither party made
much effort to get its voters enrolled,
although some of the candidates were
busy getting their friends qualified to
vote for them at the primaries. The
registration by wards on Saturday is
as follows:
First ward, 245; Second. 429; Third,
AS; Fourth, $780, Fifth. 779; Sixth,
621; Seventh, 1,1S5; Eighth. 776; Ninth.
745; Tenth, 617; Eleventh, 1923;
Twelfth, SEQ; total, 1884.
At the last city election 14,463 bal
lots were cast, and the registration on
Saturday was nearly half of the vote
at the city election. This is taken as
an indication that there is not so much
apathy as many of the politicians
thought to exist on the part of the
voters. and indications are that the
registration will be heavy this year.
even though it is an "ofr year." when
neither President or Governor is to
be elected.
No trouble of any account was re-
ported to the Department Of Elections,
and the members are pleased at the
manner in which the registration
boards acted. There were objections
on the part of some men who were
called upon to produce naturalization
papers.
