REGISTER TO VOTE! Regardless of party affiliation, all of us will r~g­ istcr to vote in the November elections. The exerctse of the franchise is a cardinal right enjoyed by the citizen of a democracy. It determines his social and economic welfare to a large degree, since it is his only means of direct participation in t!;te important business of government. It behooves all community leaders of religious, civic fraternal and labor organizations to exhort their mem'bers to REGISTER AT ONCE. They should as– certain those who have already registered and imbue such persons with -the enthusiastic desire to persuade others of their acquaintance to register. Activity of this sort must not be undertaken in a spirit of par· tisanship, pushing registration to t~e advant~ge of a~y particular party or favored candtdate.
