TWELFTH WARD,
POSSIBLE REASONS FOR DECREASE


Quite number of reasons arc asCrlbed
for the faling-off of registration 50 Tar,
The first of these is the draft Next
comes the fact that a large number of
voters work at plants outside the city
at Carneys Point New Castle, Chester
and Eddystone chiefly -and when regis
tration is on they are either nj work or
sleeping Some, too, were careless on
each of the two DAYS at which they
might have registered and preferred the
delights of baseball or q weekend Out-of-
town to the business of getting ready
to vote
The Department of Election officials
think the next three days will bring the
figures up to normal after a certain
percentage has been deducted for soldier
vote that will fail to register incidental
~, this matter Of the soldier vote has
occaSioncd some littlc confusion, owing
TO the failure of some Of the registration
officers to know exactly where they stood
with reference TO IT
Some soldiers who were IN town Satur-
day applied for registration 81 thcr
district headquarters andwcre turned down
on the score that they would be registered
in camp. 4 few ottircrS got INTO touch
with the department on the matter and
were told to register the men, camp regis
tration or no camp registration, II being
an easy matter To cl inmate duplicate
names from the rolls wien camp rcgistra
stion rolls should be made up and returns
submitted
