The Minister in the Dominican Republic (Russell) to the Secretary of State

Santo Domingo, September 28, 1923—5 p.m.
[Received September 29—10:25 a.m.]

51. … It seems almost impossible now to deliver registration certificates in sufficient number before the elections to have an expression of the will of the people and the Commission is to meet next week to consider the abolishment of the provision in the electoral law as to registration certificates. See my despatch number 893 of September 18.7
