LESTER DENIES USE Of
REGISTRATION LISTS
His Roster Of Taxablss More
Complete Than Election De-
partment's, He Says.

M. Howard Jester. Delaware Tax
Commissioner. today exploded the idea
which many people have had that ne
uses tho registration lists to obtain
the names OF men and women who are
liable for payment OF the 50 hling fee
tax. At the first registration day
there was not as heavy registration
a. had been expected and there We're
rumors that some had refused to regis
ter because they believed that in this
way the tax commissioner would be
able to obtain their names. and con-
seuucntly would seek them out for
failure TO pay the three dollars fee
they also believed. according TO these
reports. that IL they failed to register,
Commissioner Jester would not learn
Of their existence In this city and
therefore they would not have TO pay
the fling fee.
II do not need registration lists
and shall not use them even * l were
permitted TO do So" said Commits
sioncr Jester. when asked about the
matter. Il have my own lists; lists
which men working under my direc-
ton have prepared with painstaking
care. These men made canvas OF
the city OF Wilmington, going from
house to house to obtain the names;
As a result the list j have gotten is
much more advanced than any regis
tration list, because after these names
are checked up. which they will be in
a few days, with those who have
moved away and out OF the city. j
shall have my men make n rcsurvey
- al. a. 81, la ~ff
to obtain the correct addresses and
numbers of houses and see IL there
are any others at home now whom
they missed the first time.
1t may be surprising news TO some.
but l even have the names of aliens
men and women who haven't the
right to vote, but who, because of their
residence here. come under the pro-
visions of tho law and making them
liable for the filing fee. 1t was a
hard Job to get some of them, be-
cause IL required the services of an
Interpreter. but we got them.
ITS foolishness for any one TO say
that they won't have to pay the filing
fee If they do not register to vote"
said Mr.. Jester. AS matter of fact,
i j believe that my list of names of
men and women is superior TO the
registration lists, because many
wouldn't register TO vote, anyway. My
list is complete, in that it contains
the names of all men and women OF
legal age who are liable for the filing
foe.
II know that some people have
circulated the story that / used the
registration lists To fill out my files.
but that's absolutely all wrong. !
do not need to do that, because Of
my efforts TO obtain the names Of
Ali mon and women In the city. IL
that's any reason why men or women
have not registered, then they had
better discard It," said Mr.. Jester. ~be-
cause i have a more complete list of
voters in this office than any regis
tration roster contains"
The next registration day, is mex,
Saturday, and workers OF both the
Republican and Democratic parties
will strive 70 get as many who have
not yet registered out TO the polling
places to attend TO this detail
