OF NAMES
REGISTERED So
FAR IS $4,000
This Is 1000 Under Last Years
Figure, but 10000 Are Ex-
pected by Final Day.

With returns from several OF the IA
city districts missing, II is probable,
judging from the returns received, thai
about 5000 anne were added to the
list of registered voters yesterday.
bringing the total up to approximately
$1,000. While this would be about 10000
less than the total registration for 1903
and about 1000 under the total vote
polled last year, it is probable, as usual,
Tuesday, October 25. the last registra-
ton day, will see enough names added
to bring the total close to $4,000.
G. o. p. Wards Heaviest.
The additions yesterday ranged from
Q in the eighth district of the Eleventh
ward to 72 in the first district of the
Ninth ward. The heavy end Of the
second day registration is found this
year in Republican wards, indicating
that a number of Republican independ-
ents did not attend the primaries. This
may be taken to show that many here
tofore Republicans intend this year to
vote for the Democratic candidates
without allying themselves with the
Democratic party, as they would do for
a year at least had they voted at the
Democratic primary.
The increase in the primary day reg
istration this year was only 663 iover
1909, and of the total of 36,982 regis
tered 1880 voters had either refrained
from voting or cast defective ballots.
The primary vote this year, taking
the office of mayor where there was
no partisan contest, showed an increase
of 2,069 over last year. OF this in
crease the Democratic candidate for
mayor showed a gain of 1,796 and the
Republican candidate 273. The follow
ing table shows the returns to date,
as compared with last year:

of President Hayes, but delegates said
this morning that Hayes will receive
an overwhelming majority in the event
of Settlers permitting his name to come
before the meeting. The league will
not TAXI any stand on the political
situation in the State. The delegates
are opposed to anything that would
smack of politics.
Politics Is Taboo.
If anybody offers anything in the
way of a resolution on political lines
1t will die a natural death in the reso-
lutions committee. This mornings ses-
sion was an open meeting, but the aft
ernoon session will be executive, and
none but the authorized delegates will
be admitted.
There has been some talk to the ef-
feet that a resolution be offered ask
ing for the limiting of the number Of
saloons in the large cities, but If 1t Is
presented, 1t will either die in the
resolutions committee or be voted down
IN the floor. Neither will the delegates
pass a reported resolution looking to
the abrogation of the free lunches
served by some saloon dealers.
