REGISTRATION AT NEW CASTLE.

New Castle, Sept 20.-Saturday proved
the largest registration day OF any during
the registration period In this locality.
The total number of persons registered IN
the FIVE districts of the Tenth representa-
tive district on Saturday was ola, COM
prising 712 women and POP men, making
the grand total registered 2,173. Workers
of both the Democratic and the Republi-
can parties, especially the feminine work
ers, worked diligently and escorted the
ladies to the registration polls and IN
number of instances the husbands ac-
companied their wives. Automobiles
were pressed into service and carried the
registrants 10 and from the polls from the
rural districts. Thirty Negro women were
disqualified because they were unable to
read and write In one instance the ques-
tion was asked a colored woman whether
she could read and write and she said that
she signed her own name to her checks and
did her own banking The register pre-
sented TO her the constitution of the Unit
ed States, but she was unable TO read the
print and therefore was considered dis
qualified. At the next registration day,
which viii be October l6, there will be a
large number of women to register. In a
number of instances on Saturday, those
who were otherwise qualified were out
of town. The questions asked the women
were: Your name, (the words Miss" or
"Mrs." were eliminated); the next ques-
ton, where born, age 21 or over, how long
resident In the state, and how long have
you resided IN your district? The follow

DEMOCRATS GAIN IN LAUREL.
Women Add to the Vote of the Party and
Republicans Gloomy Over the
Result of the Registration.

Laurel, Sept. 20.-The first registra-
ton day since women were granted the
privilege Of franchise passed very quietly
here, but was full OF surprises to old
political observers in both parties. First
m the number OF reglstrants, 255 in the
Third Election district, and about 100 in
the First. Many Of the women had de-
elared they would not register and vote,
Vet & sat many Of the same ones were
among the first at the registration booths.
Contrary TO their expectations the Dem
ocratic leaders succeeded In registering
large per centage of adherents, being well
organized and supplied with automobiles in
which they went to the homes for the en-
franchised suffragists and returned them
to their homes after registration. The
Republicans, however, seemed to be
apathetic and were unable to get out Their
party strength, and it is said many of their
women absolutely refused to register.
Even some Of the Negroes, both men and
women, were opposed TO suffrage and re-
fused 70 register, although most of the
Negro women reglstrants came out early

and il is said their appearance inutcd
many women Of Democratic tendencies to
get registered, although they had said
they would not.
Another thing which surprised many
was the fact that practically all the leading
women in social, church, intellectual and
civic affairs availcd themselves of the OPP
portunity. In several families the mothers
did not register on account Of percmptory
objections by their husbands, and some
times their sons, while in one instance
husband voting for years, he being Re
publican, while she is Democrat, regis
tered, although it is said that he did not.
Democratic leaders seemed well salts
fed with the days registration, while the
Republicans seemed to be disappointed,
one of them remarking ut the close OF the
day that if the election were to be held to-
morrow they would be beaten to frazzle

but from reports received from there the
registration OF women voters was not as
heavy as IN the other districts
The Democratic women leaders, with
Mrs. l.. Z. Ross, chairman, worked like
Irolans from the time the registration
offices opened until they closed. Mrs. Ross
West Seaford; Mrs. Howard Morgan in
East Seaford, Mrs. Frank Jefferson in
Broad Creek, and Mrs Mamie Isaacs
Short IN South Nanticoke. These women
leaders appointed assistants and laid the
town OF in districts. 1t is believed not a
woman was missed IN the town or country.
Women, who previously had positively
SAID they would not have anything to do
with registering or voting were convinced
by the arguments used by the committee
that as the franchise had been offered
them, II was their duty to register and
vote. A waiting automobile soon had them
to the place of registering and their names
were put on the books.
a Democratic leader said last night that
more than two-thirds of the Dennoc ratio
women in East and West Seaford and
Broad Creek were registered. during
Saturday and that too much praise could
not be gwen the women committees and
their assistants. No trouble is anticipated
IN getting the remaining third on at the
next registration day.
The situation In Seaford and Broad
Creek indicates the Democrats will make
a good showing, and besides electing the
State Senator and Representative, roll up
a big majority for Cox and Roosevelt and

Newark. Sept. 2O.-Political leaders
OF both parties were agreeably surprised
ON Saturday, by the large turnout of
woman voters TO register for the first
time. The registration officers in both
Newark districts of White Clay Creek
hundred Were kept busy from the time
they opened in the morning until losing
time o'clock Saturday evening. There
are several hundred more women, how
ever, who will likely register on the last
day October Is.
In the First district, registration place
Deer Park Hotel, 236 voters were regis
tered previous 10 Saturday. On Saturday
23l more voters qualified, making the
total In that district 507 TO date. OF thees
registered Saturday more than 200 were
women and only % men. OF the women
registered IN this district As were Negro
women.
In the Second district, Washington
House, 32S had registered before Sat
urday. Saturday, POI, more were registered
OF whom l29 were women, making a total
oi SD TO date.
In the Third district, registration place
Chnstiana, % were placed on the books
Saturday, making a total of 277. OF those
registered Saturday 20 were women, about
hall of these Negroes.
Two years ago there were nearly 600
votes cast in each the First and Second
districts and the indications are that the
registration will exceed 700 in each dis
trict this year. To election officers and
politicians the great problem now is
90 get all these votes in on election day.
IL will mean the voting of about 40 every
hour the polls are open fraction more
than one a minute. Two years ago it was
nearly O'Clock the next morning before
the vote was counted, and this year
II is thought the count may not be
completed before noon of the day follow
ing election.

KENT WOMEN INTERESTED.
They Turned Out In Large Numbers ut
Saturday Registration.


Dover, Sept. 20.-Saturdays repstra-
ton throughout Kent county, so far as tho
women vote was concerned far exceeded
the expectations OF party leaders. While 1T
was anticipated the colored women would
register, meetings having been held
throughout the county during the week at
which all were urged TO turn out early, 1T
was hardly expected so large a white vote
would be recorded the first day.
At the three districts in Dover, in two
of which there is a large colored popula-
ton, there WAS an unusually large registra-
ton of Negro women. Moreover in the
Second Election district of the Fifth
Representative district, trouble was threat
ened by attempts to register Negro women
not entitled to registration because OF
failure to comply with the constitutional
tests. In this district 20 were refused
registration because of this reason. One
Negro woman, it was said, on being re-
fused returned and made application
under an assumed name, but was again re-
fused.
In the First Election district Of the
Fifth Representative district, Dover, 662
were registered during the day all but 100
being women. In the Second of the Fifth,
2O2 were registered, nearly all women, the
division between the races being about
even.
In the Second Election district Of the
Second Representative district including
the eastern part of Dover, the total regis
tration was 254, with less than 100 men.
At Smyrna, the total registration in the
two districts was 700, all but 100 being
women. The division between the races
was supposed to be slightly in favor Of the
white women.
In the majority of cases the women
came alone to the registration places, but
occasionally wives were accompanied by
their husbands or relatives.
Possibly the oldest woman registered In
the county was Miss France of the Palmer
Home, this town, who said she WAS past 90

LIQUOR FLOWED 1aEELY.
For some unknown reason many Of the
Negroes, including women, who haunted
some OF the city registration places on
Saturday were drunk, and in some in
stances drunken Negro women were a
source Of much annoyance. In one of
the districts in the eastern end of the
Seventh ward a drunken Negress made
herself particularly Objectionable. Many
respectable white families live in the dis
trict, and this inebriate insisted ON get
ting fresh" with some Of he white women,
strangers to her, slapping them on the
back, mauling over them and in other
ways making herself a nuisance. HeI
actions kept some white women from
going to the registration place. Other
drunken women, as well as men, were in
evidence, but none could be induced
to tell where they got their liquor. The
belief Is that it was supplied to them free.
As rule the registration passed of
without incident. Most of the women who
applied went about the matter in a business
like way, answered the questions prompt
ly and left as soon as they had finished.
As result it is believed that everybody
who applied for registration was accom-
modated. There is, however, one known
instance where, the polls closed earlier
than the law calls for, at noon, and wo
man who had hoped to register WAS un-
able to do so, as she had to go out of town
before the polls opened in the afternoon.
She hopes to register on October 16,
the only remaining opportunity. Others
probably had similar experience.
AGED WOMEN REGISTER.
All of the inmates of the Home for
Aged Women, at Gilpin avenue and Har-
rlson street, were registered, and the
oldest resident, % years Of age, walked
the two blocks to the registration place.
One of the most interesting events of
the day was the visit OF Mayor Taylor,
accompanied by City Councilman Mearns.
to Mrs. Mary Camperson and Mrs.
Martha Adams, S5-year-old twins, of
1890 Scott street. The aged twins were
taken in the mayors car at OF clock for
registration.
One of the oldest women in the city
to register was Mrs. Eliza +. Ross, of
1906 Lancaster avenue. Mrs. Ross, who
Is 50 years OF age, Wa, registered at 10
a. m. at the registration booth at Second
and Ruth streets. Mrs. Ross vote is n
vote for Cox She has always been an
ardent supporter of suffrage, and wrote
a letter several years ago TO President
Wilson endorsing suffrage.
Sarah b. Tilhower, 2900 West street,

She resides in the Nineteenth district Oh

AUTO TIRES NOT LIKELY

Car owners who are holding back

On the contrary. a -break- ,ha,
I VIII necessarily mean the adyncIng
Of prices seem Inevitable
A resume Of the tire industry and
the conditions under which il has de-
veloped in the last decade. causes the
/ causal observer 20 wonder, in fact,
that tire prices have not already be-
gun 10 climb steadily.
Unless one studies carefully the
underlying reasons for the successful
checking Of tire prices in the face of
the overwhelming advance in virtual
ly every other commodity, II Is rather
amazing 10 note that prices are now
much lower than they were ten years
ago II l. still more interesting TO
compare prices OF standard manu-
facture tires today with prices of the
same product at the beginning of the
2 war. Good tires cost no more now
than in 1914. There has not been an
appreciable advance in the past two
| years. And yet the quality Is higher
and the purchaser gets more value
for his money than ever before.
} When one considers the prices OF
raw material, labor and transporta-
I tl0n have made more tremc ndous
leaps IN the last five years than dur
ing any period in manufacturing his
tory, the natural query concerning
the manufacture is "how do they hold
I down prices >"
And from that question comes the
answer to another: will the prices go
down."
1t does not appear that decrease
is likely.
Manufacturing genius, which has
about reached its limit, has kept
down the cost to the tire user The
I standard manufacturer has combat
[ ed price increases by developing his
processes. He has expended millions
/ Of dollars in the installation of new
machinery, better machinery and new
/ methods. He has brought his output
up to maximum and has made his
Z profits on a quantity margin. He
! has smashed overhead expenses by
use of these weapons and by putting
Z his distribution on such broad basis
as to make il economical.
Output has about reached its zenith.
So long as demand continues strong
there is n possibility that tire prices
will remain on their present level.
But If general determination to
hold out" should spread among car
owners it is more than probable that
such an attitude would tend to create
reverse effect to the one desired
and send tire prices rocketing.
