his estimate Of a countrywide vot-
ing strength Of around 6.000--a de-
crease Of approximately 1000 votes

litically in the. county. Only-a city
election In Brownsville will concern
voters this year. Payment of poll
taxes here were comparable with
the previous year. 1t Is believed.

plates were available.

kept pace with figures Of last year,

mated plates had been sold for o.
500 automobiles and $500 trucks
through Saturday night.
