In other instances the workers as
sisted ag or crippled persons 10 the
registration booth. The large number
OF women who registered was a sur
prise TO every one. The women dis
played greater knowledge Of the man
ner OF registration than did the men.
Twenty-Five Negro women and Two
white women were refused the right
OF franchise because Of their inability
TO read portions OF The constitution
or write In the Second district Miss
Mary Hance was the FIRST woman 10

ported that the women appeared 10 be
better informed about the procedure
OF registration than did the men gen
orally.
The total registration on Saturday
In Wilmington was 1875, which Is
nearly as large as the registration OF
men on the first three DAYS. The reg
istration DIN those days was 20. iS2 ana
or the lJ,Sl5 registered on Saturday
only 1923 were men.
The total registration so far is &c.
3ol In Wilmington.
The returns Of Saturdays registra-
tion was gratifying TO leaders Of both
the Republican and Democratic par
ties. Republican leaders claim that
thlr party Will receive the bulk Of
the women vote In Wilmington. DEM
ocrats were active In the Southern
Districts Of Wilmington getting their
women 10 register.
Election Department officers today
admitted that the results on Satur-
days registration surprised them and
IL IS expected that as many women
will register on the last registration
day. October i6.
One thing that astonlshed Election
Department officials on Saturday. was
lhe great lumbcrs OF aged women
who rode or walked squares 20 regis
ger. Among those who registered in
the Seventh ward. which appeared 10
hold the h0nors for aged women vOi-
crs, was Mrs. Mary q. Snitcher, Of
1911 Hancock street. mother-in-law 10
Assistant City Auditor Creamer.
Mrs. Snitcher. who is % years OF age,
was deeply interested in the proceed
ure.
One OF the features Of the day was
The registration OF twins. So years old,
Mrs. Martha Adams and Mrs. Mary
CampersOn. They were escorted 10
the registration booth by Mayor
| Taylor, In the latier's automobile.
Mrs Mary C0ffyn, % years old, an
! Inmate Of the Home for Aged Women,
was the oldest woman TO register. She
declared she would vote for the ticket
OF the party whose platform seemed
nearest TO the Bible and the Constitu-
ton OF the United STATES"
Mrs, Charlotte Robinson, Sii Jeffer-
son street, was one OF the aged wo-
men TO register
The Fifth, Seventh and Eighth
wards also were among the heaviest
In the registration OF women The
Republican wards enrolled far more
women on Saturday than did the
Democratic wards.
The heavy registration Of women Is
concerning some concern TO election
officials who are wondering how they
can receive the votes Of 1000 or more
voters who will have registered in
the nine hours which the booths will
be open on Election day. Rural
districts having such a registration
Will have to vote two or three per-
sons a minute during the $50 minutes
the booth will be open and the count
OF ballots may take all night.
SO heavy was the reg stration Sat
urday that many officers had TO send
to the Department Of Elections head
quarters 10 get more alphabetically

Registration figures Of Saturday as
returned to the Department OF Elec-
tions are as follows.
