(There has mever been an attempt v any governmental agency to deter- mine in advance the numbe to participate i a election. The Associated Press, through its_correspondents, has gathered these statistics and herewith shows the mum- ber eligible to vote on November 6. The fioures are approzimate because regis- tration has mot ended in all States. In many cases the regisiration was de- termined county by county cases where figures were not obtainable, esti- mates “were made by various State oficials.) (Copyrighted, 1923, by the Associated Press.) Voting beoths in city and town, vil- lage-and hamlet, will open their doors a week from tomorrow to the greatest | army of qualified voters ia the history of the United 43,000,000. who have registered their intention to cast their ballots will actually do so is a matter of conjecture, but election as 38,000,000. In 1924 the total vote for President was 29,091,417. The more conservative observers place | | | | | | | | | the 1928 vote lower—around 35,000,000, with women playing a major part in | ! the selection of the next President of the United States. Cities Show Gains. As no Government agency has ever undertaken the task of determining the number of qualified voters in advance lof election, the Associated Press, through its correspondents, has tabu- {lated the number of potential voters in every State. This list shows enor- mous gains everywhere in the larger cities. in the 1928 tabulation is the tremen- Political leaders fying womar tion. It has been impossi tain the total number of women en- titled to vote but, based on the known segregation of registration, it is esti- mated that in the larger cities women will cast between 35 and 45 per cent of the total vote. The percentage prob- ably will be smaller in towns and rural sections. William . Tyler Page, clerk of the House of Representatives, who for many years has made a close study of elec- tion figures, estimate, that the poten- tial number of voters “may not exceed 45,000,000,”. and that the total vote will be about 33,000,000. In a state- ment preparad for the ciated Press he says: “The total number of 1924 was 29,091,417. The citizens of voting age in t States, according to the census of 1920, was 54,421,832. No doubt the number today is much greater, but this does not determine the number of persons en- titled to vote. Registration and other qualifications in the various States are prerequisites to voting. Set at 45,000,000. “The figures showing the total num- ber of registered persons in the United States are not available. After elimi- nating all persons 21 years of age and over who are disqualified for cne reasen voters may not exceed 45,000,000. 1 “There are no bases upon which the number can be computed with any de- gree of accuracy. The age basis is in- atcurate, and -in- the absence of the grand total of registered persons any discrepancy bstween the number of those voting and thcse not voting Is conjectural. € “Reports throughout the country ‘of greatly increased registration indicate a total vote at this year’s election of 38,000,000.” Simon Michelet, president of the Na- tional Get-out-the-Vote Club of Wash- iny , estimates a popular poll of 37,000,000, He believes the women’s vote will be about 4,000,000 more than in 1924, There are a number of reasons for the marked increase in registration. The injection of the prohibition and re- * | ligious” issus into the campaign ac- counts for a large part. The radio un- doubfedly has also contributed, due to the greatly increased use of the air route by political orators to reach the electorate. ‘Treasurer Gerard of the Democratic National Committee recent- 1y estimated the Democrats had spent $600,000 on radio. The Republicans also have spent huge sums. Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the Republican - national committee, at- tributes the increase largely to women. John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national conmittee; says it is “most important to the future well being of our country to note the in- crease.” South Shows Gain. The “Solid South,” which is experi- enéing- the thrills. of a- vigorous presi- dential campaign for the first time in years, has qualified more voters than ever. before, Registration in the South- ern States is different than that which prevails in other sections qf the couniry. South Carolina, for instance, has'a re- registration every 10 years. In most of he South once the voter is registered he registration holds”good as long as he pays his poll tax. Payment of the poll tax, however, is not always a fair criterion to measure the registration and the voting. In Arkansas 343,687 persons paid a poil tax in 1924, yet the total vole cast for President was only 138,532, Texas, which 1s being watched closely by both Republicans and Democrats this year, has no registration of voters. Gov. Moody estimates: the -voting strength at 1,500,000 but expects a vote of only 800,000, based on past experience. The poll tax receipts issued in 1924 were 1,195,239. . In New Mexico the first real registra- tion in its history has been put into effect this year and lists are being purged in keeping with the ‘provisions of the new election code. New York, the home State of the Democratic presidential nominee, which is the scene of an iniense battle for i.the prize of 45 electoral votes, has shown an enormous jump in registra- tion. Both major political parties are claiming the benefit of the increase. The total “up-State” potential vote in the Empire Staté, which is normally Republican, is about 19 per cent over the 1924 figures. In the City of New York, 2 consistent Democratic strong- hold, the registration leaped from 1,- 500,113 in 1924 to 2,023,654 this year, an, increase of over 34 per cent. G. O. P. Far Ahead. California, the home State of the Republican standard bearer, has also shown a substantial climb. The vote of four years ago was 1,281,778 and the 1928 registration is 2,313,816. The registration there is now divided as follows: | i Republican ..1,535,751 Democratic 592:161 Prohibition 17,748 Socialist 12,872 153950 Declining 'to "siai Miscellaneous .. 1321 Pennsylvania, bulwark of Republican- ism for generations, which was visited Saturday by a Democratic presidential nominee for the first time in years, has kept company with other populous States in the East in the steady upward registration trend. The 1928 figures are 3,943,000, compared with the vote four years ago of 2,144,852. Philadelphia has registered this year 424,044 men and 306,453 women, compared with the vote of 338,579 males and 141,743 females in 1924, The following table showing this year's registration hy sexes in olher €.

According to the Foreign Language In- formation Service of New York City, which has completed a survey of 852 publications printed in 16 languages, compared with 6,200,000 in 1920. In _some Stat and New York, there have been thrown out many thousands of alleged illegal registrants, with the possibility that the list will be further reduced before election day. While the huge registration is being acclaimed on all sides, there is a fly in the ointment in that it is well within the realm of probability that the final result will be late. In the event of a close election the public may have to wait @ full day until election. boards can tabulate the enormous floods of ballots. In New York City, hundreds of new polling places have been created and provisions have been made to allow those standing in line to register their votes if they ars unable to enter the polling places before the closing hour, 6 pm.

By the Associated Pres PEORIA, 1ll, October 29.—Senator Joe 'T. Robinson, Democratic vice presi- dential nominee, began the last week of his long campaign tour today. The’ final ‘days of the lohgest cam- paign tour ever undertaken by a Demo- cratic nominee found'the Senator pre- pared tp carry the Jeflersonian banner into four States before returning home fo Little Rock to vote and await the clection verdict. £ Robinson has been in the Solid Souih, unvisited by a nominee of his party since- the Civil War, in the Far West and in the Middle West, where. he has been ‘making a strenuous bid for Re- publican and Progressive votes. The immediate job he has set for' himself is to clinch votes in Downstate Iilinois, hoping that when the ballots are count- ed in that part of 'this important, State, the ordinarily strong Republican major- ity will be cut to such an extent that it will be tinable to overcorhe the Demo- cratic vote in Chicago, which managers g{ ttihe Smith-Robinson ticket are pre- cting. To this end Senator Robinson has set himself in readiness to make four formal addresses in Illinois, to be supplemented by numerous appearances on the rear latform of his private car. Democratic leaders called out voters to hear Senator Robinson in Peoria this afternoon. To- night he is to speak in Springfleld, Tuesday morning he plans to leave ‘or East St. Louis, detraining at Decatur for an afternoon address. Then he will invade Indiana for three speeches, then into Ohio for appear- ances at Lima and Dayton. At Clarks- burg, W. Va., the nominee is to make his final campaign thrust next Satur- day night.

Estate Mortgage Loan Correspondent, New York Life Insurance Company NATION AWAKENED, Large Registration Portends Record Interest in Elec- , tion, He Feels. By the Associated Press. Herbert Hoover considers the unusu- ally large registration for the presiden- tial election as evidence that “the en- tire electorate is alive to the importance of the issues in this campaign and that | th> homes of America are going to par- | ticipate as never before in shaping the verdict on election day.” The Republican presidential nominee expressed this view in a statement to the Associated Press and declared as well that the registration increa: . cnz of the most wholesome develop- ments in our political system.” He termed “both amazing and gratifying” the “enormous enrollment of women in every State in the Union.” Chairman Work of the Republican national committee interpreted the reg- istration as “more evidence of Repub- lican strength.” The increase, he said, could be largely accounted for by the enrollment of women who never have voted before.

Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, has given the As- g?‘ch:;ed Pre!;l 1th: following statement e great increase in reg 3t flg"‘l!fis fr:r 1928: VB “The stupendous task undertaken b the Associated Press in compiling K statement of the registration through- qut the country should be applauded by all citizens. Every effort of this kind Which ' tends to stress the importance of the franchise does much toward edu- cating the citizens of the United States with respect to the great responsibilities that go with the privilege of voting. | “Regardless of the outcome of this campaign, there can be no question but that great good has been accomplished in the direction of stimulating the people to take a more active part in politics, because this is the only man- ner in which the future destiny of the country can be determined.

He predicted that | more people would “vote on the ques- tion of ciurch and state =t the pre: dential election November 6 than any other issue in this extraordinary campaign. “Recent developments,” he said, | “strengthen the opinion I expressed on | the importance of religion in the minds of the citizens at the Institute of Pub- | lic Affairs when I was misunderstood | by those who did not get a clear report“ of my address. The past month there | has been a display of more intelligence | and restraint under, provocation on the | part of the voters In coming to a de- cision an this subject than many per- sons believed possible. But one who has faith in democracy and the plain sense of the people has no ground for | fear. Discuss Issue Frankly. “The best thing in this whole cam- paign is the fact that we now discus: the issue frankly. We have learned a fundamental truth—that the Nation is spiritual in its foundation and the cor- ner stone is religious liberty. We can and do demand liberty without being called bigots or intolerants, when there is difference of opinion as to what 1s meant by liberty. “There are those who believe this country led by a Roman Catholic Presi- dent would preserve and enlarge relig- jous liberty, especially a man like Gov. Smith. Others r d & question about | the doctrine of the Roman Catholic | Church in this matter of church and | state. They oppose the Cathoiic theory of the primacy of the church over the state as enunciated, for example, by John A. Ryan in the volume, ‘The Church and the State.” If they believe the doctrine of absolute separation of church and state is a paramount issue | it is their duty to act accordingly. Issue Now in Open. “Two theories of the relation of church to state have been gontending with each other for hundreds of years, but we face the issue now for the first time. A monarchic religion, such as the Roman Catholic Church (Eaches.l men say, is bound to be monarchic in its political practice. Protestants in great numbers hold this statement is That is why we have the issue of a Roman Catholic party in this coun- try, for it would lead inevitably to a Protestant party,” he concluded! “That would be disastrous to the democracy. w hether you rent or whether you buy, | You pay for thehome | you occupy.” 'Warren IIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllmmlIIIIIllIIIIIllIIIIIIII|I!IIIIIII|HII§ Inspect— E 125 Grafton Street CHEVY CHASE Detached Colonial Brick On a 90-ft. front lot is this center- brick t colonial commi rage.
