’ Huge Increase In New Voters [ Reported ™ ¢ Forty-Three Million People Qualified to Take Part in Great Battle of Ballots— This Is Gain of Fourteen Million Over 1924 Figure ‘Washington, Oct. 29 P—Voting booths in city and town, village and himlet, will open their doors a week from tomorrow to the greatest army of qualified voters in the history of the United States—approximately 43,000,000, How many of thesc men and wo- men who have registered their in- tention to cast their ballots will ac- tually do so is a matter of conject- ure. But election experts have fig- ured the number as high as 38,000,- 000, In 1924, the total vote for pres- ident was 29,091,417, The more conservative observers place the 1928 vote lower—around 35,500,000, with women playing & major part in the selection of the mext president of the United States. As no governmental agency has ever undertaken the task of deter- mining the number of qualified vot. ers in advance of an election, the A soclated Press, through its corre- sdonents, has tabulated the number of potential voters in every state, This list shows enormous gains ev- erywhere in the larger cities. New York State Leads New York, native state of Gover- nor Alfred E. 8mith, the democratic standard bearer, leads with 4,875, 721, compared with 3,256,319 per- soms who voted in 1924. The city of New York—stronghold of democra- cy-—alone showed a jump of more than a half a million. The old-line Republican state of FPennsylvania is second with 3,943, 000 registrations, compared with 2,- 144,852 who voted four years ago. 1llinois is third with 3,250,000, com- pared with 2,470,067. Ohio next with an estimated registration of 2.- 750,000, compared with 2,016,237 voters in 1924 while California, liome state of Herbert Hoover, the republican candidate, is fifth, the registration there is 2,313,816, com- ‘ yared with 1, 281, 778 who cast their ballots in 1924. A development, unusual in Ameri. can politics, is the great increase in the registration in the democratic “solid south.” For the first time in years the southern states are in ‘the throes of a spirited presidential cam- paign and reports from every state " indlcate voters will flock to the polls as never before. Texas probably will qualify 1,500,- 000 voters, in the opinion of Gover- nor Moody. although he believes on- ’ 1y 800,000 will actually cast their ballots. The lone star state, in 1924, cast 657,509 presidential ballots. Women Voters Old-time political observers have had their eyes opened at the re- markable registration of women vot- ers, While only a few states make an official attempt to tabulate the potential voters as to rex, figures avgillable are very unusual. Striking an average of the mals and female Tegistro’'-n it is conservatively esti- ARE CLOTHES IMPORTANT? TRY WALKING AROUND WITHOUT' ANY: All Over Country mated that women will cast from 35 to 45 pes cent of the total vote in the larger cities. In the rural dis- tricts this percentage probably will uot be so hish. A few instances to indicate the general trend: Maryland reveals an increase of 72 per cent in the wom- en registrants over 1924. Philadel- phia shows an increase of 116 per cent. St. Paul, 73 per cent; Duluth, 46 per cent; St. Louis, 35 per cenat, and Kansas City, 38 per cent. Politicians of years of experience while frankly expressing amaze- ment at the registration tfigures for the 1928 election, talk confidently for public consumption of the bene- fits which will come to their candi- date. But there is no doubt that privately there has been a big ques- tion mark hovering over the huge voters lists for the managers of both parties. Various schools of thought give various explanations for the sudden rush to the registration counters. One element says its prohibition. Another says it is the religious is- sue. Another says it's prosperit; still others maintain it is farn lief; water power, tariff and a doz- en other subjects which might af- fect various localities. And there are those who may ccntend that none of these are the issues—that the fight is one of personalities be- tween Hoover and Smith, A Different Campaign But at any rate, it could be clear- 1y seen that even before the conven- tions met and nominated the two major candidates that this was to be a campaign far different from any In past years. Smith and Hoover have been heard by nearly everybody either in person or by ra- dio, and this s believed by politi- clans to have given marked stimu- lus to the elegible voters who were qualified to register. In addition women of both major parties have been driving hard with every argument to which women are susccptible te have them qualify. Ttey have filled the whole nation with arguments for Hoover and for Smith, and they have sucoseded in drawing an unprecedented number of their sisters to the registration booths. Then there are the first voters; there are first voters’ clubs every- where, and even “Get Out the First Votera' Clubs.” Colleges and uni- versities for young men and for young women are filled with Hoov- er and Smith clubs, and he cam- puses are filled with talk for and against the two candidates. All in all, if this great outpour- ing of voters goes to the polis and it the contest is at all close, the determination of the winner may be delayed long enough to keep many on the anxious bench, even if the 15 per cent which as a rule refrains from voting remains at home.

Furtek Explains Why He|™“ree speaser stes touchos on the Favors Hoover's Election The Polish-American Republican club of this city launched its last week of political campaigning with a vally last night at the | alcon hall on Broad street in conjunction with the regular monthly meeting. The speaker was 8. Furtek, & banker of Chicopee, Mass.. who gave reasons candidate for the presidency possess- ed high qualities as a politician he lacks the business and administra- tive ability which is Hoover's, and which qualities, the speaker said, he had shown in administering to the needs of millions of destitute people throughout the world during and subject of protective tarif and stated that the republican party al- ways was and will be the champion of the workingman and will protect him against foreign competition. He likened the country to a sick patient, who i3 under the care of a doctor, but doesn't seem to be getting much better ~ but at least not any worse. He then likened the democratic party to another doctor who is en. deavoring to ha: the patient liners may, some day. be replaced by matresses of kapok, a floating floss resembling cotton, obtained why he believed that Polish-Ameri- can citizens should vote the republi- can ticket on November 6. He stat- change his medicines and promises immediate relief, but inatead of re- llet the patient will become worse, coming better. He proposed the continuance of the current method of treatment of industries and claimed the only way the patient would become better would be by elocting a republican president. Later in the evening motion pic- tures of relief work carried on by Hoover in different parts of Europe during and after the war, and at the time of the Mississippi flood in 1927, were shown. Joscph Kloskowski, president of the club, presided over the meeting and the rally. MARRIED AT LAST Providence, R.
