TENTH WARD INCREASES Party leader* who checked registration return* today came to the conclusion that there Is not an unusual number of voters qualified to participate In the November city and school elections. With three precinct* of, the 106 to be heard from it appeared the total number of voters on the books will be approximately 140.000. This i* almost 29.0QP less than was registered in Marion County for the presidential election tast year. It is estimated that there were about 30,000 voters registered In Marlon County outside Indiauapolla at that time. Leaders also came to the conclusion that there was nothing particularly unBiual about the registration, so far at iotal figures are concerned, because the lumber on the books in some precincts fell off while there was a gain In others, finally analysed, the politicians said, the; registration was normal. In the Tenth ward, which both Repnb- [ Beans and Democrats claim, but which' gave Shank a plurality in 1917. there. were 696 more persons registered this rear than last, the total for this year being 11,897. The first ward registered 350 less than last year, the Fifth ward 572 less, the Sixth ward 801 lest and the Second ward 1.635 less. rOTAL REGISTRATION ABOUT 140.000. The total registration In the 164 prerincts reported Is 141,197. Os this total 17,775 are men and 63,422 women. Officials setlmsted that there are close to t.OOO duplications upon the registration books, due to the fact that voters personally registered as well as gave applications to political agents, which would bring the net total down to approximately 140,000. Both Republican and Democratic leaders are claiming that the registration Is favorable to their respective parties. In the main their claims are based upbn the number of applications they solicited and filed The Republicans claim to have filed 75.000 of the 140,000 registrations, all of which they feel are of voters favorable to Shank The Democrats claim the Republicans have misrepresented this ! number, asserting that in north side pre- i dnets, where they believe there is anti- | Shank sentiment, that the Democrats | filed In some Instances five times as many applications a* the Republicans.
