ROBBINS Registration of voters in Alameda County has dropped off nearly 35,000 since the November election of 1936, it was announced yesterday by G. E. Wade, County Clerk. The books showed a total registration in all parties of 255,655, as compared with the figure of 290,482 who were eligible to cast their vote at the Presidential election of two years ago.

HOLDS DOWN In Alameda County a total of 3118 voters had registered in the Townsend party, but partial returns from other counties in tie State indicated that the Townsendites had failed to register the 23,610 names necessary to qualify.

While the Democrats in Alameda County still outnumbered the Republicans 133,364 to 112,016, the Republicans found a little consolation in the fact that in percentage of registered vote the Republicans had dropped less than the Democrats. They were also pleased to find that the Democratic majority had been cut from 25,968 in November, 1936, to 21,348 at the present time. In November, 1936, the Democrats had a total of 153,761 or 52.9 per cent of the total registered vote of the county. Yesterday's figures revealed that the 133,364 Democrats represent 52.1 per cent of the total. DEMOCRATS LOSE The Republicans in November, 1936.

had 127,793 registered voters or 43.9 per cent of the total as compared to the present figure of 016, which is 43.8 per cent of the total. While there is no possible check on the situation, it is believed that the new registration of 3118 in the Townsend party were for the most part drawn from the Democratic ranks. The registration for Alameda County was announced as follows: Democrat 133,364, Republican 016, Socialist 513, Prohibition 102, Progressive 288, Communist 96, 3118, declined to state affiliation 6125, scattering 33. Total registration for the county 255,655.

Berkeley--Democrat 21,904, Republican 23,871. Alameda--Democrat 9058, Republican 8960. In Contra Costa County the registration was announced as follows: Democrat 25,315, Republican 057, Townsend 253.

G. 0. P. Maps Militant Drive Dictatorial Method Of Government Hit At Seattle Parley SEATTLE, June militant platform drawn by the Young Republicans' League of Washington was incorporated into the longer, more formal platform framed by the regular committee at the annual Republican State convention here today. William F.

Knowland, assistant publisher of the Oakland Tribune, California State Senator and probably the youngest member ever chosen for the Republican National Committee, was the keynote speaker. PUMP PRIMING HIT "Our Government is our servant, not our master," the Young Republicans' platform states. "Therefore, we believe not in rubber-stamp, Nazi, Fascist, representation, dictatorial not in or Rooseveltian decree, but in the right of Americans to govern themselves. "We believe in a sound fiscal policy, not in a New Deal pumppriming, vote-getting campaign every two years."

O. P. He urged that the Republican party guard against going too far to the right or too far to the left.
