SEND INFORMATION TO BOX 857, SCRANTON REPUBLICAN BOOKS ARE SENT TO REGISTRARS Machinery for Registration of County's.

Women Voters Set in Motion TASK WILL BE BIG ONE Machinery for the registration of the 55,000 women in Lackawana county who are eligible to cast a vote at the coming Presidential election, through the ratification of the suffrage amendment to the constitution by the legislature of Tennessee, Wednehday was set in motion last night. Books for the additional names of the voters were mailed to the registrars in the boroughs and townships by the county commisioners and it was anounced that before tonight the registrars in the cities of Scranton and Carbondale wil: have like books in the mail. There are one hundred and eightythree voting districts in Lackawanna county. The majority of these districts in the two cities and many of the townships and boroughs up and down the valley have at the present time an average of 250 registered voters. In the case that the registrars consider that have too much work to perform they may divide a district that has more than 250 voters.

It Is not compulsory that an overly large district be divided, it is merely up to the registrars whether they consider that they are being worked or not. Districts east and west of the mountains have light registrations and it is probable that the additional burden of registering the new voters can be borne very easily, WUI Employ Extra Kelp The law for only four provides registrars in each eection district the county and no provision is made for additional help. It is possible that more registration days will be named before the general election, in order to take care of the women voters, official in the county office intiminated yesterday. In order to take care of the great increase In business which will caused the county commissioners, the legislature of Tennessee does not disturb action, about twenty additional will be employed to assist in taking care of this work. Paul Barrett assistant supervisor of census in Lackawanna county announced yesterday that there are present approximately 75,000 women voting age in the county with 55,000 of this number possessing the necessary qualifications for assessment.

The remaining 20,000 represent alien women and those who can not be found when the assesor makes his rounds. It is estimated that there are proximately 29,568 women in Scranton who are eligible to become enrolled as voters. With additions of women the voting strength of the city would be approximately 60,000, if they all turn out to cast their ballot. Attorney H. Alworth, counsel to the Board of Registration Commissioners said yesterday that the board is ready to tackle the problem of registering the women and that it will take only a short time to set the machinery In complete motion.

Women Must be Assessed. The registration in the city last year was 19,900 votes but many of the men who had their names placed upon the registration books forgot to call at the polls on election day. In the mayoralty fight three years ago there was a total enrollment of 20.860. In the last presidential campaign in 1916, the city's total voting strength was 17,497. In order to vote at the coming election the women of county must become assessed by assessor in their the respective district before September 1.

The ocunty commissioners plan to charge an assessment which will be very small. Women who own property In their own name and have paid state and county taxes during the past two years may register without calling on the assessor in their district. After becoming assessed it will be necessary to pay taxes for this year, if the prospective voter has passed the age of twenty-two years. Atter paying state and county taxes the women may call at the polling place in her respective district and become enrolled. Women who have reached the age of twenty-one years, or who will have attained their majority on or before November 2 next, may register without producing a tax receipt.
