Officials Refuse to Give
Registration Reports in
the County Of Kennebec

hour for registration had expired, to
give the total registration for the
wards and for the city to the public.
but such did not prove to be the case,
for the first registrar who was ap-
preached informed them that they Uhe
registrars) had been advised from
Washington not to give out any state
ment for the public. the result OF which
is that the sought-for information is
still locked within their manly chests.
1t is thought that the total registra-
ton in the city will be about 1900, but
that is only guess.
No reports had been received up to a
late hour Tuesday night. either at the
Office of Sheriff E. d. HARDWOOD. chair
man CT the county board of registra-
ton, or at the offices of Provost Mar
shall General George Mel. Presson,
sufficient to tabulate the vote Of a
single county. this being the unit by
which the registration tabulation is
being made.
Progress along this line is naturally
slow as each registrar must report in
person to the sheriff and the latter
when he has his county tabulation
complete will submit it to the Govern
or and the rcvost mparshal The reg
istrars have until noon today in which
to submit their report and most of
them in this county at least evidently
plan to take advantage CT that time
limit.
County Clerk Charles w. Jones had
late Tuesday afternoon. in accordance
it is understood with orders from
Washington. notified the local regis
trars to give out no partial reports to
newspaper men or otherwise than in
person to the county board
