TODAY LOOKING
TO REGISTRATION
OF ALL VOTERS

Registration of voters, in order that
they may be qualified to vote for
bonds for good roads, is matter
prominently in the minds of the peo-
pie who take an active interest in
good roads and other movements for
the public benefit, and some thirty
men of this class met at the Tourist
Headquarters at 9 o'clock this morn
ing to devise plans for getting out
full vote on this proposition
Mr. Cornell, of Winter Haven, was
present and stated that the matter
of registration had been systematic
ally and enthusiastically worked out
in his district. that the voting
strength was about 675. and that so
far as could be learned there were
only five persons of that number who
would vote against the bond propo-
sition. Two of these Mr.. Cornell de-
clared he believed would be convert

Mr.. ]. f. Mears, of Barlow, while
not able to present such a glowing
report as Mr.. Cornell. stated that the
work was well in hand in the Barlow
district, and that counting off all
votes that might be considered
doubtful, majority of l25 votes for
bonds could safely be counted upon.
Arrangements were made to sys-
tematiZe the work of registration
during the balance of the week and
various committees were appointed
the members of which have been
busy all day checking up registra
ton lists, laying out the three Lake

| that systematic campaign may be
put on, two men being assigned tc
canvass each of these districts. Al
the head of this committee of 40 Mr.
NJ. Agrees was appointed as chair
man. 1t is hoped by Saturday night
practically every voter in the Lake
land districts will have been reeis
tered, and thus qualified to exercise
the rights OF good citizenship.
