000000 persons to vote tomorrow
have the politicians guessing as 10
how these new voters will marx
their ballots.
Allowing for the same ratio OF
stay-at-homes as in former general
elections, 1t is estimated that roughly

What party leaders won't know
for sure until after the ballots are
counted is why registrations are
breaking all-time records in the
large cities and even in many small
er towns. All down the line, but
particularly In New York, Pennsyl-
vania and California, voters in in
creasing numbers have signified
their intention of exercising their
historic right.
Unusual Interest In Campaign.
Normal population gains and
more persons reaching voting age
explain the increases in some in
stances, but the intensity of the
campaign and unusual interest In

New York City, where the total
registration Is up 488,557 over 1896.

publican, has 3,57l,376 registrants,
a 63 ,226 gain over four years ago.
The State as whole has registered
6,960,117, an increase of TAI, 1888 over
1895.
The township of Somers, near
New York City, has 2.470 registrants,
or SO more than the population
given 1t by the Census Bureau as
of April l. Democratic leaders at
tributed the rise to gain in popu-
lation since the census was taken.
Pennsylvania Figures.
