voters considerably more than onethird of the voting population popula-tion of the city registered yesterday kr the flrat of the live registration days for tho coming election It Is difficult to make a comparison with the ilrsL registration day of 3SOC from the fact r that at the previous Presidential campaign IU cam-paign the registry agents canvassed the city whereas under the present 3 Jaw the electors must present them selves at the office of the agent but it Is believed the registration of yesterday yester-day was much heavier than for the first day of registration In 1S9C Of the voters

all over the city tend to confirm con-firm Chairman Elchnors estimate C The extremely modest for a Democrat J Demo-crat claim of Mr Wilson Is also to be considered an evidence that the Democrats Demo-crats do not feel they have any the beat of the thing I During the afternoon and evening hours of the day tho different places of registration presented busy scenes In many instances The registration oft of-t men voters was one of the features of the day the ladles coming In delegations I1 dele-gations ranging from two or three to a dozen 01 more to register Little trouble of a partisan nature ias reported One Democratic registrar 4 regis-trar In the Third precinct was complained com-plained olt being charged that he exercised ex-ercised a diligence quite uncalled for In his Interrogation of applicants 4 known to be Republican It la asserted that in one case ho even went so far as to question the genuineness of naturalization papers submitted without with-out being able to give any gtounds for hiM suspicions NATURALIZATION ARGUMENTS I The question of naturalization occasioned t occa-sioned as much trouble as any during the day The election law provides that a naturalized citizen must produce ru pro-duce his certificate of naturalization or a certified copy or the same when available or In case the document is r lent or destroyed or beyond the reach of the applicant ho must nallsfy tho agent by his own oath or affirmation oubstantlated by tho oath 01 affirmation affirma-tion of one or more credible citizens ao C to the credibility of the applicant that he is entitled to be registered Many applicants neglected to carry their naturalization papcru to the registration registra-tion places and some of them wasted much good time In vain arguments trying to persuade the ugents to register regis-ter them HUMORISTS WERE OUT h U Some of the funny men were In ovl deuce as usual They belonged to both purifOH and their main piece de resistance In time ay of humor was to wear badges emblematic of the party to which they did not belong conspicuously 3 conspicu-ously displayed on their persons when I they registered ThlH probably helped to fool some Democratic workers hut It hud little effect on the Republican estimates OH the canvnxH of the city by the Republican committee has been 1 BO thorough that almost all the voters I In the different districts and their poll lira wore known to the canvassers A report that could not be verified Il vas In circulation to tho effect that a prominent Democratic county official had told Democratic registry agents 4 they wore at liberty to rcglstcn voters on lays l other than the live sot apart by law but were not entitled to collect col-lect pay for their labor except on the five days designated REGISTRATION IN COUNTY I Returns from the county outside oC the city were much more monger than i In the city but from such districts OH j were hoard from It appears that the registration
