about the registration of this year
This has been moving year" for To-

have registered because they have
moved into other precincts or wards
since the last election, q fair higher
number than usual
"AIso there were q great many wo-
men OF family. who evidently could
have voted long ago if they had
wished, who registered this time for
the first time" Interest IN one GER
tain candidate is responsible, Miss
Covell believes.
Another class of persons registering
is composed of young men who have
never voted before. This is due TO
the desire to vote on the bonus, and
not any particular interest in the po-
,liticaI aspects of the case, Miss CovelI
believes.
And there is another class which Is

registered before?"
There were three men and one wo-
man standing in line at 10 o'clock
