I want to urge you to redouble whatever effort you are now making. It is estimated that some 2.4 million Texons are now qualified to vote this year out of 5.8 million Texans who could vote if they registered.

This means our job is to register 3.4 million voters in the short registration time remaining. Situations vary from county to county, but the surest method to register is by mail-in applications. These have been printed in the newspapers or copies may be obtained from the Assessor-Collector or privately printed (Remember that these can be distributed door-to-door or throughout places of employment). Thousands are being signed up in counties where the effort is well organized. Moiled applications must be received in the office of the Assessor- Collector before midnight, March It is not sufficient that they be moiled before March actually be received before midnight, March 17, This free registration could literally double the number of voters in Texas, This will happen concentrated efforts ore to utilize Hi tunity, With double the number of voters, ernment of Tews to the will of the people than ever Don't Dttoy RagitUr At Mr.
