Joseph Newton Pew, jr., last night

that the pied piper had left behind
him in Pennsylvania political rats,

Republicans, who had been striving

More than 80 years later, in Feb

a resolution, asking John A. Wash
ington of Mount Vernon to permit
the body of his grand uncle to be
deposited in the Capitol. At the
same time q resolution was adopted
expressing a desire that the remains
of George and Martha not be sepa-

Washington Parke Custis, grandson
of Mrs. Washington, be asked to
permit the transfer of her remains
to the Capitol.
According to records of the ar

Record Registrations
Indicate 5 Million
Will Cast Ballots
By the Associated Press

With registrations hitting new
highs in many key States, like New
York and California. an Associated
Press State-by-S State survey today
showed 59,669,656 persons have
qualified to vote in this years elec-
tions.
On the basis of this total, State
officials and political leaders in the
various States figured the national
vote would be 35,421 ,339.
Such a turnout would be better
than SO per cent of the eligibles
1t also would be more than a
100000 increase over the actual
total congressional vote in 1912,
the last off-year election, when So
per cent of the estimated eligibles,
or 28,070,185, cast ballots.
Increases in 45 States.
Every State but three reported
an estimated vote this year higher
than in 1912. Election officials in
Illinois, North Dakota and Utah
believed the vote in those States
would be slightly under 1912.
California and New York reported
vote estimates of more than 1,0o0,-
900 in excess of the actual vote
four years ago. The increase fig
ured for Pennsylvania was around
100000. Massachusetts nearly 200,-
900, Minnesota and Wisconsin more
than 100000, North Carolina and
Ohio more than 100000. Oklahoma
around 100000 and Washington
more than $4,000.
Potential voters this year-per-
sons 81 years Of age and over-were
estimated by the Census Bureau at
91,634,472 as of July l, 1916, an in
crease of nearly 2,500,000 over July
l, 1914. To this number must be
added several hundred thousand In
Georgia and South Carolina, where
the voting age has been lowered
to 18.
. But millions do not take the trou-
BILE to qualify. Thus, only 81 per
cent of the potential voters went
to the polling booths in the last
presidential election.
Most States do not have ofhclal
registrations for the State as a
whole. Hence the 1946 eligibles are
estimates in all but few cases.
interpretations Differ.
California, however, reported &C
tual figures, a record of 4,383, 1868
elieibles. The Democrats continue
to dominate the Safes lists with
2,541,720 to 1,637,246 for the Re-
puplicans.
New Yorks registration was
slightly more than 100000. as com
pared with 5,173,465 in 1912. In
New York City the registration was
the heaviest ever recorded for a
State election-up 20 per cent from
four years ago, the last guberna-
torial election. The city total was
2,715,563 as against 2,123, 1859 in 1912.
New York Republicans inter-
preted the large turnout as a pro-
test against Federal controls. The
Democrats attributed it to returned
servicemen. National Democratic

speech, but that Mr.. Pew would not

Democrats Advertise Speech.
The Democrats have placed paid
advertisements carrying the Pew
speech in newspapers in an effort
to make it a focal issue in the cam
paign. According to Chairman
Bradley, at least one strong Repub-
lican daily declined to accept the ad.
Another issue on which the Dem
ocrats in Philadelphia rely grows
out of the decision late in August
of the Board of Revision of Taxes
to increase assessments on real es-
tate-in order to get more money
for city improvements.
The increases, which omitted the
central section of the city-big busi-
ness properties-hit the home own
ers with an average increase Of 40
per cent. 1t aroused such a storm
OF protest that the board announced
that no assessment on a house
would be increased more than Is
per cent, and that the central Sec
ton would be surveyed for assess
ment increases.
The Republicans hope this has
relieved the situation-particularly
since the tax bills will not go out
until after election, and do not have
to be paid until next year.
Voters Reported Apathetic.
As the Democrats see 1t, they
have only to get the people to the
polls to carry Philadelphia. That,
however, is their trouble. The Phila-
delphia Bulletins poll, just pub
lished, shows that 40 out Of so OF
the Philadelphia voters do not know
the names of the major parties
candidates for governor and SEN
ator, and that out of 10 do not
know what Offices are being voted
for.
Nevertheless, the city registration
which is overwhelmingly Repub-
lican as it has been down the years
is higher this year than in past
oh-year elections. Further. Mr..
Bradley insists the people will vote
for principles" the means Demo-
cratic principles) and not bother
about the names.
Gov. Martin has made good rec
ord in Harrisburg. He has a dis
tinguished war record. covering both
world wars. He won with a big vote
in 1912.
Senator Gufiey's hope lies largely
in the labor vote. In the past he
has had the support of all the major
labor organizations. This year he
has Endorsement of the CIO and
the railroad brotherhoods, but not
the AFL and the United Mine
