POPULATION Of
PRESCOTT IS

THIS ESTIMATE BASED
ON REGISTRATION FOR
ELECTION; IN GRE A e
OVER LAST CENSUS
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Registration OF voters for the gen.
eral election next month as com
piled from the various precincts OF
the county, and in this city, shows
total OF over 1000 who are en-
titled to the elective franchise, and
as we'll does it furnish material for
calculating the population of Pres
colt. which is given at over 5000
souls in round numbers. This esti-
mate is based on the voting strength
of the city, showing a total OF 2,0S9
as qualified, Prescott North having
enrolled 1854 and Prescott South,
1,O35.
Had the registration books re-
manned open one month longer, it is
stated there would have been en-
rolled at least $50 additional voters.
OF the above total there are esti-
mated to be at least 400 residents
who did not qualify, and who were
apathctic as TO the exercise OF their
suffrage right. Many Mexicans also
refused to submit to the educational

foreign birth, but who are citizens.
Many women had resided not long
enough to be eligible to vote, as
well were many diSinclined to have
their names enrolled. The number
OF women voters in Prescott is Civ
en- at 500.
Returns received from precincts
in the county at large among the
more pOpulous communities show
the following registrations:
Jerome town, S75; Jerome smeltcr
los; Clarkdale, 800; Mayer, 24S:
Camp Verde, 210. But little inter
est was manifested in outside pre-
cincts among women TO register.
and it is estimated that but one in
seven will exercise the franchise,
accordingly. In the county at large
including Prescott, the registration

dunn of the ballot.

bezzled from Sophia Dalton, the
complaining witness, and that the
note was not due for four months
yet. He said he had a wife and
three children in Los Angeles, and
that he did not intend to defraud
when he received the money. Il
am the victim of circumstances" he
asserted. Il was willing to return
here and answer to the charge
and so instructed my attorney, but |
instructed him to see that l had a
fair deal. When | was taken from
the jail l had no idea that was
going into the hands of Sheriff
Keeler, but when | saw | was his

He was informed by the judge
that if he did not have an attorney
it was the duty of the court to ap-
point one, and he said he would
look after that later, indicating that
he did not expect to have counsel.
