BIG INCREASE SHOWN IN
KEARNY REGISTRATION.

Although three districts had not yet
been accounted for, the registry of vot-
ers, as per reports filed up to noon with
Town Clerk William b. Ross, of Kear-
ny, showed a marked increase over the
returns of a year ago. Politicians are
trying to conjecture the significance of
the increase. The Republicans consider
1t an indication of a large but normal
increase in the ranks of G. O.. P. sup
p~orters, while the Democrats can see
nothing else in the returns but a sure
indication of greatly enhanced interest
in the Democratic nominees.
The figures reported at noon were:
First ward, first district, 470; third dis
trict. 469. Second ward. first district,
272; second. 475; third, 394. Third ward.

showed that the two Golden Gate

Some there are whose Unbalanced
minds fail to grasp the national, aye
international, world wide significance
of this action by the Harrison Com
mon Council. 1t means that the gov
eminent in selecting New Orleans as
the exposition city, and 1t does not seem
reasonable that New Orleans will not
be chosen, will have some sound basis
for bestowing the honor.
With Harrison's Endorsement Of New
Orleans in It's pocket the government
