 WINS CONTROL OF COUNTRY
REGISTRARS MAY ASK
 INCREASE IN SALARY Officials Feel That Added Duties Call For Added
 Compensation.

Tn view of the increased work in the office of the registrars of voters. occasioned by the passage of suffrage legislation for women. it is highly probable that the next meeting of the common council will he asked to act favorably upon q request for an in- crease in salary for Registrars Will liam Ziegler and James Kiniry.
 The rcgist rars. in former years. have been receiving s1.5OO a year for their work. which was acceptable inas- much as they were at liberty to make more money on the side during the slack period of the year. This will not be possible this year on account of lbe vast number of new voters who must he registered for personal tax, the registrars have explained.
 The remuneration given the regis trars in this city is about half that paid the registrars in Hartford. while no additional pay is given for the per sonal tax registration. In Hartford each registrar has a deputy. paid $1,s0O n year, and there are three clerks in the office all year round. The local registrars are allowed d deputy for one day each year, and, until the present registration, have never had a clerk.

 gators Reasons.

Dayton, O., Oct. S.-That the Day ton Metal Products Co. paid the 5000 note which Governor Cox Democratic presidential candidate, gave to the City National Bank of Dayton, was testified to by H. F. Talbot, president of the company at the senate subcommittee hearing today.
 MT. Talbot explained in detail why the company paid the note, assertins, that through an effort of many Dayton citizens to elect suitable members of the Dayton city commission. confer enceS between Democrats and RepGlb- licans were held in an effort to agree upon candidates, resulting in the cam paign being delayed. He said that after the election Governor Cox met him and told him that as a result of the delay in starting th& campaign the Democratic organization had been un- able to raise sufficient funds and that he (Govcrnor Cox) had discounted his personal note for s5. 900 to get money and that he thought the committee which sought to bring about an agree ment on candidates should pay the note. Mr. Talbot explained. however. that the conferences between the Democrats and Rpublicans brought no results and that the two parties SUD- ported their own candidates.
 Though the note was paid by the Dayton Metal Products Co.,, MT. Tal- bot said he did not consider it a con- tribution by the corporation but personal one by him. self. MT. Talbot also said he did not consider contributions made by the committee to the election fund of 1916 other than personal contributions by himself, Col. E. A. Deeds and c. E. kettcring, officers of the company. The money he said was contributed solely to carry on "a campaign for preservation of the flood protection law.
