Registration Figures in New
York Give Republicans
Encouragement.
'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.
