Alexandria, Va, Oct. 2-Thirteen
hundred and ninty-nine women of
this city had paid their capitation
tax OF $3.50 and registered when
the work ceased at sundown today.
A total of PIG registered today.
Practically all who contemplate reg
istering did so, although there were
a few who overlooked 1t.
During the past week Commits
sioner of Revenue Charles H. Gala
han, who assessed the women the
tax of $3.50 to register, and City
Treasurer Thomas w. Robinson,
who receives the tax, were kept
busy as were the four registrars
who met Tuesday and Thursday
night in the city hall to facilitate
the work. Today the registrars re-
manned from sunrise till sunset.
There are now 2,S51 men regis
tered on the books and this, with
the 1899 women, gives Alexandria a
total voting list of 1880. This is the
greatest number of voters ever on
the list in the history of the city.
The women's vote is fifty per cent
of the number of men qualified. All
of the men qualified last May ex-
cept seyenty-six.
There is considerable speculation
among politicians as to how the
women will vote and there are few
who venture to make a guess.
