Dead men tell no tales. But their
voting power in New York City has
evidently been rather enormous in the
past. A recent investigation of the
ctty's enrolment lists disclosed the fact
that they contained the names of no
less than 123, 2s9 persons who had either
died or removed to other parts since
the registration period OF last fall. And
had this discovery not been made, it is
probable that most Of these names
