Democratic dopesters, after sur
vey of the registration results in st.

remarking on the registration, and
the fact that the polls which were
kept open today were in the greater
number of instances petitiOned for
by the republicans, reveals some I'M
certainty on their part. Ii was TO
ticeabIe today that the republicans
were devoting every energy to bring
every man who might possibly
benefit them.
Mayor Gaylor. congressional as
pirant until Andrew j. Hickey APP
peared on the scene. headed the pc
titiOns which kept every precinct in
Mishawaka open today. The demo-
Gratis claim that the greater num-
Der of those who registered Monday
in Mishawaka are Wilson men ana
that the republican petitions came
in an effort TO cut down the ma
iority which was apparently against
them.

are in the sixth ward. the only pre-
cinct closing there last night being
