when the law making body con-
venes in January 1945 if more
than $3.50 voters go to the polls
next Tuesday and participate in

This right was earned at the
last general election and the third

ated in the primary election this

was 6.6SS or 43S above the mini
mum requirement
Pinal county registration now

necessary to make Pinal county
for third house member.
In Pinal county but one county
office is contested with Lloyd
