Many Districts.

A conservative estimate OF the num-
ber OF voters, both men and women.
who took advantage OF the morning
hours to register in this city today Is set
at $500. The great majority of htose

transpire this afternoon. Registrars
visited at a number OF the polling
places are confident that they will
be virtually swamped with prospective
voters seeking to register during this
afternoon and the early evening be-
fore the pollS close. The greater
number OF male voters were at their
places Of employment when the polls
opened at eight o'clock this morning
Figures 20 far compiled at the polls
at noon show that an average Of from
fifty to seventy-flve per cent OF the
registrants this morning were wo-
men.
The leaders OF the Democratic party
in this city stated that they are con-
fldent that when the polls close to-
night the Democrats will have beer
nearly 100 per cent registered. having
been spurred on and shown their full
duty as citizens of Delaware and tho
