Any information as to their present whereabouts will be thank fully received, etc., etc., etc. I do not like to deal with statistics. They are usually ,nrid and irritating, and often misleading. When one is concerned with a lost army of PhiladeU phia Democrats, however, election and registration returns alone can, tell the story. Registration returns for the three days of this year show that approxi mately 21,802 Democrats registered ni such,. The number of Democratic ..votes cast iu tlie election for state srnatprs in the odd-numbered senatorial dis trict sm 1010 and the election returns for even-numbered senatorial districts in 1014 show a total Democratic vote of r4,."!70. The difference between the registered Democrats this year and the votes ac tually cast by the Democrats for their senatorial nominees in 1014 and 1010 shows that il2,fi0S Democrats who voted then failed to register for the present campaign. It Is not as satisfactory a method of calculation as might be desired. Be tween the senatorial elections of 101 1 nnd 1010 allowance must bo made for deaths and removals. Approximating this1 at 5 per cent of the total ; there still remain something like 30,000 Democrats to be accounted for.
