How the enormous vote which Will
be cast in November Is TO be handled
with present facilities is a problem
which has suddenly assumed grave
proportions AS a result Of incomplete
returns from yesterdays registration,
leaders OF all parties have become
aware of the fact that the voting ma
chimes as now apportioned among the
precincts will be inadequate to regis
ter the vote in the allotted twelve
hours.
Reports from various precincts show
that in many cases the number Of vot
ers who registered this. year is double
and even treble the registration OF
four years ago.
IF we could have a constant line Of
voters waiting at the polls and they
voted at the rate of one minute we
could handle 720 in the twelve hours
the polls are open regularly" said
prominent. Republican today. Anyone
who has served on an election board
knows that it is folly to expect the
votes to be rung up that fast There
are plenty. OF people who can cast their
vote in less than minute but the ma
jority can be counted on TO use up
from three to five minutes"
In Hammond's fifteenth precinct the
total registration is announced at a
Few over 1850. The sixth precinct an
nounces 65s Two years ago the reg
istration for these precincts was 5gs
and 352 respectively. 1t is evident
thai one voting machine will not be
sufficient TO handle the vote in either
precincts. Several other precincts are
expected to show enormous gains, for
example. the seventh In which the reg
istration two years ago was 5t2.
It has been suggested that the thirty
new voting machines which were pur-
chased by the county recently. be ap-
portioned among the heavier precincts
of North and Calumet townships and
that the precincts for which they were
intended be allowed to use the old bal
lots this year.
Practically every reEsstratioH board
in Hammond was keptr busy last night
listing votses until eete boeths closed
at 400 o'clock. House TO house can
vases by precinct workers had taken
care of the majority OF those who did
not register a month ago and party
workers were surprised at the number
which came in late The majority OF
the late arrivals were women. 1t Is
known that many OF these had not in
tended to vote but had changed their
minds at the eleventh hour when they
saw their first opportunity TO vote
slipping away
Few OF the members Of boards had
a chance to sleep last night. All avail
able help was used in filing out blanks
and after 3 o'clock all set their hands
to the task of listing and indeNing the
voters in the books. 1t was daylight
this morning before many of tho
boards adjourned and others did not
finish until nearly neon.
The books are being turned over to
County Auditor Foland at Crown Point
today where the work of compiling the
results is already under way.
