Round the hem Of his robe the golden

More Than I9i, 600.

Los Angeles-The total registration
Of Los Angeles for the coming city
election has reached total of 191, 94l.
OF these 108, 736 are men and 83, 205
are women voters.
Owing to the unprecedented regis
tration, officials express a fear that
there may have been many duplica-
tions, especially among the women,
and for that reason the exact number
of voters that will decide whether the
Socialists or the Good Government
forces shall rule this city for the next
two years will not be known for several
days.
The work of checking off the lists
has already begun. What dupli-
cations there may be-. election officials
say, are principally due to inexper-
fence either on the part of the person
registering or the registration clerks,
hundreds of whom were women, with
limited knowledge of the election
laws.
