NOTARIES TO BE ACTIVE

Democratic and Republican party
leaders said today that their organize
tons are in shape to bring voters to the
registration places tomorrow and that
they expect before the end of the day
more than so per cent of the total vote
will have been registered Both parties
| have had notaries in the field for several
days and both are making plans for an
| intensive crusade to bring in the appli-
cations. The last registration day is
Oct. 10.
No one can vote in November who does
not register on or before Oct. 10. Regis
tration workers have been urging voters
to comply with the law tomorrow so that
there will be no danger Of them post
poning action until too late.
Republicans claim that their notaries
have signed up more than 10000 voters
since they started work two weeks ago.
The Democrats have not made so extern
sive' drive as the Republicans, but it
was said at city headquarters that the
/ few notaries who have been at work have
accomplished much Most of the Demo-
cratic effort in the field Ia to be exerted
in cleaning up the stragglers between the
registration days, City Chairman Thomas
| S. Meeker said. The Democratic organi
cation in the Tenth Ward has obtained
the best results SO far, Mr.. Meeker said,
the registration of Democratic voters
there being practically complete. No
taries have been on duty at the ward
! headquarters at Hoyt and State avenue
| for some time.
Democrats were circulating a story 10
the effect that the Republicans are hav'
| ing some difficulty in getting their negro
voters to register. At Republican beaG-
quarters 1t was said that this is true t.
! huf hnf
walls in every registration period. The
colored voters, II was said, do Gct take
much interest IN registration until the
campaign warns up.

Both Democratic and Repu blican party
officials are faced with the necessity OF
economizing because Of lack Of funds
Leaders IN both parties say they expect
big contributions later. II Is no secret
| that the Democrats expect to get funds
from Republicans whom they believe are
| opposed to Mr.. Shank and that they are
making every effort to make a big
showing Of strength in order to convince
such potential contributors that their
money will not be wasted The Repub-
licans, it is we'll known, know that the
Democrats have had such plans In mind
for some time and have been taking steps
! to counterfeit them.
