'STRAW VOTES" NUMEROUS Results Thereof Are Various, Kven When Based on Identical Sets of Figures Incidents or Registration. PT I.I.OTn T. I.ONERGAN". NEW YORK. Oct. 20. (Special.) Now that the rrststrai'.on books have been closed, politicians are busy with figures, while various misguided newspapers are ptruKullnK with straw votes. In many rx-ses. the rosuits they arrive at have greatly astonished their readers. Republican leaders are honestly en rmiracrd over the outlook. The bulk of the fallinc off Is In the heavy Democratic districts, while the G. O. P. bailiwicks have held up to normal figures and in B"me cases have increased them. ("or example In four downtown districts, normally Democratic by from three to f'Hir to one. there is a Democrtatic net loss of 44(9. As only 31.000 voters are registered in that territory It can be seen that this 4449 is a big Item. Tammany Chief Murphy while declin ing to discuss the situation, made one In teresting statement. He was told that In the Eighth, "Christy" Sullivan's district, '.here had born a falling off of over 150. "Well they csn't all be Republicans.-' ho said. "Because there are only lvo Re publicans in the entire district.'' Parsons Is Optimistic. Republican County Chairman Parsons, ahvays optimistic, is more cheerful than pier th:s year. The registration delights tiliti and h1 admits it. "There are Assembly districts in Man hattan and the Bronx." he says. "Of these nine are itepublican. and W Democratic, of the nine Republican districts eight nave shown Increases in registration, while nineteen of the 26 Democratic dis tricts show losses. In other words the Republicans show gains In eight-ninths of their districts. hile the Democrats pro duce losses in r.tnoteen-twenty-sixths of :he:rs. Sounds good, doesn't it?" Tite amendments to the registration law ire undoubtedly responsible for the bulk ?f the falling off of the vote. Under the present statute, each elector is required to :gn the poll book. If he cannot write ne must answer certain questions and re ?eat the correct answers on election day. President Iooling. of the Roard of Elec tions, is one expert who blames the new taw fr a falling off of the vote. "While a very small percentage of those oho have registered have been unable to ten their names." he said. "I have rea son to believe that many have remained away because they were too proud to ad mit, before a line of men. many of whom were friends and acquaintances that they :oii!d not read or write. "There are many men In this city, for eign born chiefly, who own houses and lands and are dependent on their wives and children to write their letters. I looked on the 'identification book' in one of the polling places today, and saw. to my surprise, the name of lust such a man. I had never had a suspicion before that he was unable to write." "Crimp' in Repealing Industry. The registration figures from districts where repeaters have held forth In years gone by. Indicate that the new law has put a "crimp" in this Industry. In former days scores of men would register from one house, and it was diffi cult to locate them when a canvass was made of the district. Now unless a voter is a householder, he is required to give the name of the head of the house with whom he resides. In addition he must sign the poll book. Repeaters have been accustomed on election day to take a list of names of men who were sick, out of town or detained by business, and vote on them while the voting was good. Now the signature re quirement is a bar to their progress, and If they select the namo of an illiterate voter, it is necessary for them to possess all sorts of knowledge of his family his tory. "It means a loss to the Democracy of 50.000 Illegal votes in Greater New York alone." declared one enthusiastic Republi can. "I believe we are certain to have a fair election this year, and in a fair elec tion Taft will win, hands down." Oldest Voter Is Aged 10 5. The last days of registration were en livened by the annual appearance of "th oldest voter." This year, as usual, he is Simon Harris. 105 years old, who "came here from Jerusalem to vote for Taft." .Mr. Harris has figured in the political news ever since 1:6, when he traveled from Joppa to cast a ballot for McKinley. It Is considered the proper thing to give him a first page display in every daily newspaper, because he is promptly forgot ten after election, and his case has passed out of the editorial mind the next time the polls open. Mr. Harris while admittedly very old. Is remarkably bright, and an exceptionally good press ngent. What he does between November and October each year nobody knows or cares, but he always has the center of the stage for a few days in the Fall. Some Puzzlers for Board. The Board of Elections has Deen pass ing on a number of puzzling questions that have arisen of late. Some of them, it would seem, would puzzle a Philadel phia lawyer. For example John Hennessey is captain of the barge Maggie, moored at the foot of "West Ninety-second street. Nobody disputes that he has a right to register from the boat, in the election district which takes in the pier. But At flood tide, when his bark swings up the river he is in the sixth election dis trict of the Seventeenth Assembly Dis trict. At ebb tide he is in the twenty third election district of the Fifteenth As sembly district. If he registers at high tide, must he also vote at high tide, and does he or does he not move out of his district twice a day? Sorry to say. the Board of Elections dodged. They permitted the young man to register in the election district where he lived up to the time of entering his present employment. A foreigner, whose father is naturalized when the son is a minor, is permitted to register on the elder man's papers. Abra ham Nlchter asked advice. He was a for eigner. His father a foreigner, died in Poland. His mother married again when Abe was 3 years old. The young man has lived in this country since he was 6 years old. Problem Can he vote on his step father's papers? Answer of the Board of Elections Yes; but don't boast about ft. A boy born in Honolulu was declared to be an American born citizen, this de cision being based on the act of annexa tion. At the same time three Porto Ricans were told they had no standing in the eyes of the law. "Straw Vote" Canvass Is Funny. The "straw vote canvass" is progressing merrily. One New York newspaper sent out 35.000 postal cards, received 8000 an swers, and from this slender basis gravely announced that Taft's plurality in the state would be 17,000, while Chanler would carry "Greater -ew York by 303,000 and have a plurality In the state of 193.000. This remarkable statement created great interest. One statistician, using the news paper's figures, and what seemed to be a fairer system, proved that Taft would have 100,000 and Hughes 17.M0 in the state. And the expert demonstrated clearly that the newspaper's returns indicated that Bryan would only carry Greater New York by 5000. Then he proved it, although the Republicans admit that' Bryan's lead below Uie Bronx will be 75.000 at least. All of which show that figures do lie. This particular "canvass" was based on the list of first day s registration in sev eral selected Assembly districts. Among flaws picked in the system, other than the mode of comparison, might be mentioned theset . ' ; Thirty-five thousand men were asked to name their choice for President and Gov ernor. Eight thousand responded. What was the matter with the other 27.000? Are they all independent voters? If so what chance does Ohanler possess? Did they sumply dislike the newspaper because of its advocacy of Bryan, and if so what chance has Bryan? Furthermore, the men who register on the first day are principally those who take an active Interest in politics. It Is conservatively estimated that tfie workers make up 80 per cent of this total. And of what value is it to poll active partisans when everybody knows that the election ki decided by the independent, unattached voters? But still a straw vote is always interest ing. Chinese Boycott Serious. SING TAIT, China. Oct. 20. The Gov ernor of Shantung province has arrived on a state visit of three days, and his coming, pending settlement of the ques tions connected with, the recent anti-German uneasiness, is regarded as highly important. The Chinese boycott of the Hamburg-American steamship line is now spreading to Kobe and Hongkong and the situation is regarded as serious. ffy c3r-. : v.-r-: t CHILLY WEATHER Have your fireplaces equipped with WOOD AND COAL, GRATES OR AND IRON'S, which are sufficient to take the chill out of the house; besid-es they are most attractive in a room.
