(. O.. P. BENEFITS MOST

All previous records of the town for the total number of new voters made in . single year were shattered to pieces during the past year. &C., cording to the final statistics re- leased this morning. The registrars of voters were kept busy from morn- ing to night at all their sessions be- fore the town election and during the past two Saturdays receiving the names of those who wished to be- come voters. Exactly IA persons were given the electors oath by the board of selectmen and the town clerk. a figure which has never been reached in the town before. This figure is more than twice as large as any previous mark set by the town. The. average figure beore a presi- dential election has always been close to 200.
 Before the town election, 2S0 resi- dents were made voters and during the past two Saturdays the select men admitted 164 to the electors vote. These high figures are attribut- cd to the great interest in the com ing presidential campaign although the interest in the town election ran higher this year than has been the ease in previous years.
 In comparing last years figures with this year in regard to the num- Der of voters made before the town election. the statistics show that only 36 received the oath last year while zS0 were made voters this year.
 The c. o. P. received the greatest voters, only one out of every four pledging his or her support to the Jeffersonian party. Saturday 56 new voters were made and 3l of them registered as republicans.
 Saturday was the last opportunity for those whose names appeared on the preliminary list to be made vot- CTS in time to vote. in this years presidential election.
