sation will make itself felt in favor Of
Mr.. Hughes and the Republican state
ticket on election day, in the opinion Of
the party leaders. The Republican lead
ers were wide awake in the upstate
cities In the registration of their party
voters.
On the other hand. the Democratic
leaders gave little attention to the work.
they we're an that time decidedly apa-
thetic. In recent days a large degree
OF Democratic enthusiasm has been
aroused and the leaders with some en-
ceptions seem to be on the job.
But 1t Is now too late to repair past
neglect In the matter Of registration. 1t
Is said by Republican leaders who base
their statement on careful ~canvasses Of
their counties that n much larger per-
centage Of Democratic voters than usual
Is unregistered this year.
Making Up the Deficiency.
In a couple Of cases Democratic lead.
ers. admitting this to be the case. talked
Of making up the deficiency with Repub-
lican converts to Wilson. Obviously.
however, they would be in a better posi-
ton II their own party vote were fully
registered.
There Is much loose talk among DEM
ocrats on mis- subject of Republicans
who are going to vote for Wilson. Let n
Republican In any given locality an
nounce his purpose to support the Demo-
cratic Presidential ticket and straight
away ne IL doubled and trebled and Uul-
tiplied In Democratic report until he
seems a host. Some amusing instances
Of this practice OF multiplying converts
Is cited by Republicans.
II Is not denied that there are defec-
tons from the Republican ranks. Occa-
sionally the detection is that OF a voter
publican affairs. In such a case the
Democrats become half delirious with Joy
and word goes around among them that
the Hughes vote Ii dis%integrating.
