NEW VOTERS" keep
REGISTRARS BUSY:
Women in Many Sections OF
State Evince Keen Interest
in Being Enrolled
TOTAL NOT DETERMINED

Trenton. Sept. 15.--Returns received
here today indicate q heavy registra-
tion Of women yesterday for primary
and general elections. It was the
first opportunity TO register for the gen
eral election, and the only day on which
women could enroll in order to vote in
the primaries September %.
Personal registration was required IN
all municipalities Of more than 1b,OOU
Inhabitants. and in municipalities OF
less than that number election officers
were required to make house to house
canvass.
While nothing definite was available
as yet, estimates based on the frag-
mentary reports Of registration officials
showed that n large per cent OF the es-
timated voting strength Of the women
had enrolled. The registration was far
in excess of expectation Of leaders OF
both parties, as no organized effort 70
bring out the women was made in many
parts of the state by either party. In
some districts the proportion OF en-
rollment was ten women to one man.
This perhaps was due to the fact that
men who voted at the last general elec-
ton did not hsve to register for the
primaries while the women did. 1t was
also thought that the women came out
80 strong today to make sure OF their
names being on the eligible list or
voters for the general election:
The election officials making the
house to house canvass have until
Friday to complete their enrolment.
In this city long lines Of women
formed at the registration places last
night and the clerks were kept BUSY
until Q o'clock, the appointed hour Tor
completing the work.
Many Vote i'm Camden
Between 5000 and 1000 women regis :
tered yesterday in Camden. 1t was their
first opportunity to get on the voting
lists from l p. m. to p. m. anu
mothers, wives, sisters and daugnters
OF voters, and many who had no male
relatives. showed their eagerness In
preparing to vote.
There were many amusing scenes,
when, for instance. husband and wife
joked with each other as to whom each
would vote for. But, unlike Philadel-
phia, Camden voters had no oppor-
tunity to express their party prefer
| ence.
The greater part of the registration
came early in the day, indicating to
| the politicians that the women had been
looking forward long time for a chance
to register.
The registration brought out more
| women than men. That was explained
by the fact that virtually all men placed
! their names on the lists ut the primary
earlier.
In many of the polling places women
had formed in line several minutes be-
| fore the clerks were ready for work.
When men also were in line they

ing the registration booths throughout
the day, particularly in the central
wards Of the city. In the seventh pre-
cinct of the Third ward two of the four
election officers yesterday were women.
Woodbury., n. j., Sept. 15.-Election
officers here were surprised yesterday
to find 80 little opposition among the
women when II came to placing their
names on the list. While figures OF the
canvass were not all available this
morning, IL is believed the total will
be about double that Of 1910, and the
same holds good all over the county,
according to reports.
This city polled about 1900 votes at
the last general election and about 1000
for the county, which means that II all
the women vote who are entitled, or
rather the same proportion Of the regis
try list. Gloucester county will poll
close to 10 600 votes in November.
Glassboro. n. j., Sept. 15.--Regis-
tration boards who wound up their first

some instances women refused to give
their names and told the canvassers tina,
they did not want to vote.
Newark. n. j., Sept. 15.--Women
voters flocked to the election booths
all day yesterday in such large num-
bers to register for the primaries to be
held September 2S, that It was impos

TO ASK WILSON TO SPEAK
Democratic Committee VIII Request
Him TO Take Stump for Cox

New York, Sept. 15.-(By A. P.)-
President Wilson will be requested to
participate actively in the present ma
tional campaign, Senator Pat Harrison,
chairman Of the speakers bureau Of the
Democratic National Committee, an
nounced today. The reason President
Wilson had not previously been asked
to lend his aid to Cox and Roosevelt,
Senator Harrison explained, was that
the Presidents health was not thought
good enough to permit his indulgence
In n campaign.
1--WE certainly do want the President
to do all he con and have received as
surances that his accord with the Dem
ocratic ticket is of the heartiest," Sena-
tor Harrison said. 1--WE were sur
prised to learn from a newspaper item
today there was some likelihood OF
President Wilson doing some speaking.
There is nothing we would like better.
] shall get in touch with the President
Immediately, soliciting his aid In what 4,
ever form he deems most advisable and
expedient."

in the Republican primaries. where he
narrowly escaped defeat. It il based
on the Cummins Esch railroad bill.
which has already carried one of its
authors, Congressman Esch, down to
defeat In the Wisconsin primaries. La
Dor Is against Mr.. Cummins, but that
is not highly important in Iowa.
The real trouble is that the farmers
Of Iowa do not like his railroad bill
with it's government guarantees, and
they blame him for the high freight
rates which have followed the return Of
the railroads to private ownership. Mr.
Cummins will run far behind Senator
Harding, but Iowa is 80 overwhelm-
ingly Republican ii is difficult to see
how he may be beaten. .'...
League Paramount In East
Woman suffrage and the League of
Nations cut figure in the three eastern
states which the Democrats think de-
batable, but which the Republicans
claim with a great deal of confidence.
The women suffragists are fighting Sen
ator Moses, who seeks reelection in
New Hampshire Senator Brandegee,
who is again candidate in Connecti-
cut, and Senator Wadsworth, who is
up for his second term in New York.
The Democrats hope that the French
Canadian vote in New Hampshire,
which is said to be pro league because
of the recognition Canada gets in the
Wilson covenant, will be enough to de-
feat Senator Moses. Homer Cummings,
former chairman of the Democratic Ma :
tional Committee, will be a candidate
against Mr.. Brandegee in Connect
cut. It is said that the women suf
fragists will make a hard fight for Mr.
Cummings.
The election of Moses, Brandegee and
Wadsworth probably depends upon the
strength of Senator Harding in their
three states. The result in Maine prob
ably Indicates the political condition
in the East at any rate.
