WANT ALL TO VOTE.
Election Commissioner Titus
Calls Voting Campaign.
Will Send Registration Books
to All Wards in City.
NOT ELIGIBLE 5000.
Out of $4,000 Population 16, 900
Could Be Voters.
But Only 1 1 900 Declared Legal
by the Titus Records.
NOT ELIGIBLE 5000.

strenuous campaign to bring the
5000 delinquent voters to the polls for
the coming city election was launched
today by C. H. Titus, city election
commissioner. Each precinct in each
ward in the city will be given the reg
istration books of the commissioners
Office and the people will be. given a
chance to register without coming
down town to the Titus headquarters
in the city hall.
Captain Titus believes that there are
5000 men and 1000 women in Topeka
who are legal voters but who have not
registered and who have not qualified
to vote at the coming city election
1t is his plan to make the city cleo
ton in April the most representative
OF any that has been held in the past.
According to the records 1900 women
voted at the last city election and will
carry over their rights for the election
in April. At the General election in
November s7,700 men of Topeka voted
this gives eligibility to this number.
The total-11, 000-added to the propos-
ed additional names will give Topeka
an election population of $1,000 out of
the $4,000 people residing in the city.
Commissioner Titus has arranged to
locate the books at convenient places
In the different city wards and he has
set aside hours that will give everyone
a chance to register.

airy 3D. lasting three days with the ex-
ceptiOn of the First ward where the
