PHOENIX. Oct. 8-There arc
exactly 24,04s men now in the State
OF Arizona who are entitled to vote
at the coming Presidential and Con-
gressional election.
AT the Office of Secretary Of State
Osborn can be found a duplicate
copy OF the register of each county
and the total for the fourteen coun-
ties OF Arizona is 24,048. This Is
somewhat lower than the total re pis-
tration for the first State election
but It must be realized that the
present registration will be augment
ed, as each county register will be
re-opencd for some time before cleo
ton day Also it must be realized
that the register for the first State
election was one that had not been
changed for several years and con-
tanned the names of hundreds of
dead men and men who had moved
from Arizona. The present regis.
tration Is entirely new and every
name on the long list represent,
some living breathing man within
the confines of this State.
