Total of 2,S51 Men Have
Paid Poll
Tax :
CITY HAS 1880 VOTERS
Women Control Fifty Per Cent OF
VCte-l227 Whites and l72 COlored
Pay Tax.

A total of 1899 women had paid
their capitation taxes and most OF
them had registered when the offices
of the city officials and registrars
wera closed at $50 O'Clock Saturday
afternoon which marked the end Of
the work.
Of the FOREGOING 1927 are white
and 172 are colored. There are on the
books total of 1851 men. In round
figuaes the women control fifty per
cert of the cote.
Practically all of the men with the
exception of rs registered last May
anu the seventy-six men who register
ed during the past week are men who
have Just attained their majority.
In the coming Presidential election
next month this city will have a to-
,al of exactly 1850 qualified voters
on the books.
Commissioner of Revenue c. h.
Callahan and City Treasurer Thomas
W.. Robinson say they never before
had such steady stream OF voters
as they have encountered during the
rast week, it averaging more than 200
per day.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
was ample notice given about regis
tratjon, there were many women who
forgot 10 register and today are la
mentine the fact that they are not
qualified TO vote. ,.~,.-
There is considerable speculation re
garling the new votes. Politicians.
however. say that the vote of the wo-
men simply means an Increased DEM
ocratic majority.
Many Of the women expressed them
selves as being opposed to suffrage.
but said that as it here they desire tc
exercise the previaege of voting
Some stated that they have no de-
size to vote in national affairs but
simply want vote in thi-rs effect
ing the city. Others said hey only
desired to. qualify but did not propose
to vote. The outcome Of the new vote
awaits to be seen at the polls IN
November and the politicians then
can give something mere definite as
to conditions.
More than 1000 women in Airing
ton county paid their capitation taxes
ard are qualified to vote.
