WOMEN FLOCK TO REGISTER
Tuesday Was Busy Day In the Vari-
Gus Registration Offices of County


Tuesday was the first day in the his
tory of Maryland which, as a Colony
and later State. extends over a per-
iod of nearly three hundred years,
when women had the same right as
men to register as legal qualified vot-
ers in all elections hereafter to be
held under the laws of the land, and
thy exercised that right to an extent
that was surprising not only to then1-
selves but also to those of the sterner
sex who in many instances gave ex-
preston to their belief that not one
in a dozen women would grasp the OPP
portunity to become voters.
From nine o'clock on Tuesday MORN
ing, at which hour the registration
offices were thrown open, until nine
o'clock in the evening, the rooms were
crowded with women, who, in many
cases, were accompanied by their hus-
bands or by their sons.
In District No. the first woman to
register was Mrs. Wiley H. Friend,
while in the Fourteenth District the
first to register was Mrs. H. A. Lora-
ditch, followed by Mrs. BENZ. H. Sim
cell and Mrs. Leah H. Sincell, wife
and mother, respectively, of the editor
of The Republican. I
In all other districts the registrars
were kept pretty busy throughout the
day and evening, so the report comes
to Oakland, with the likelihood that
more than two thousand additional
voters will be added to the registration
lists of the several districts, which will
mean that in those districts where the
total registration reaches over 800
additional voting places will have to
be provided by the Board of Supervis-
ors of Elections. The districts where
these additional polling places will
likely be established are in Nos. 2, 8,
7, Is and IA. The registration books
for these districts will be transcribed
the surnames of voters beginning with
the letter N and including those of the
letter z will be placed upon one book,
while the present books for the other
voters from A to NJ inclusive, will be
used for this years voting at least.
The additional polling places in the
districts where such have to be pro-
vided will be located as near the pres
ent polling place as possible so that
the voters may be accommodated with
as little trouble to them as possible.
Of the four districts in the county
from which The Republican has re-
ceived full returns of Tuesdays regis
tration, these districts being Nos. 5,
7, 10 and IA, the Republicans have a
large majority, the figures available
hoinr ac fo1louc.

LIQUOR SEIZED SUNDAY
Several Cases of Bonded Goods Taken
In Charge by States Officers.

Several Cases of Bonded Goods Taken
In Charge by States Officers.
Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned Sunday afternoon when it be-
came known by number of Oakland
people that the Sheriff was about to
seize number of cases of liquor at
the barn of Jonas Harvey, located on
his farm near Sand Flat, and as a re-
suit of such knowledge it is alleged
that instead of the Sheriff obtaining
possession of some twenty-five cases
OF whiskey he succeeded in getting but
five cases, the balance having myster-
iously disappeared before he or his
deputy had arrived at the place where
the liquor had been stored.
From information gained from a
source that is deemed trustworthy, it
is alleged that truck bearing Penn
sylvania state license drove up to the
barn of Harvey Sunday shortly after
noon and without the knowledge of
Harvey, so he states, unloaded the
whiskey and came on into town to
have some repairs made to his ma
chine before starting back to his home
State. In the meantime, however, the
facts concerning the location of the IL
licit goods was communicated to the
officers in Oakland. Deputy Sheriff
W. d. Casteel, in the absence of Sher-
iff Winters, started, in company with
several other parties for the Harvey
barn about six o'clock. Sheriff VIM
tiers arrived at his office about the
same hour and becoming acquainted
with the status of affairs also started
for the Harvey farm, arriving there
very shortly after his deputy appeared
upon the scene. But five cases of
wet goods were found in the building
when the officers made their search
and these cases were loadd by the
sheriff in a car and brought to Oak
land and are still in the custody of
that officer.
The driver of the truck placing the
whiskey in the barn did not again APP
pear and probably will not, as it is
the general opinion of the public that
the liquor had been purchased and the
place of delivery agreed upon between
the driver of the Pennsylvania machine
and local bootleggers, which may also
account for the discrepancy of the
amount of liquor unloaded in the barn
and the number of cases captured by
the officers.
States Attorney Offutt has declared
that if the guilt of anyone connected
in any way with the unlawful proceed
ure can be found he will endeavor to
invoke the full penalty of both the To-
cal and Federal statutes.
Since Sundays fiasco the town is
apparently as dry as Sahara, notwith-
standing the fact that large crowds
have been here since Tuesday attend
| ing the Garrett County Fair.

they affiliate upon registering with
either of the great parties, then they
are morally bound to support the can
didates of their party utilization at the
regular elections which are to follow.
In order to participate in any primary
election voters must be registered as
belonging to the party in whose pri-
maries they offer to vote, and unless
they are recorded as members of that
particular party then and in that case
they are prohibited from doing so, but
they should upon appearing before
the Boards of Registry affiliate with
either one or the other of the great
parties, which, however, does not bind
them to support the candidates of the
party with which they are affiliated.
