REGISTER VOTERS

Dethmer's solution 10 the prob
lem arising from the change in
population has been TO open a
well-organized move by local
leaders TO register as many Re-
publican voters as possible.
The Republican fear is that the
rural residents, normally Republl-
can. have not qualified TO vote IN
their new metropolitan homes.
This campaign is being effec-
tively handled here by County
Chairman James Lyons. In a
counter-move. the PAC has the
beSt-organized registration drive
in Democratic history.

WARNS LEADERS

Dethmers. who is COP nominee
for attorney general, as well as
serving as state chairman. warned
In his lecture 10 the county lead
ers that Wayne County may pro-
duce a greater Democratic ma
jority than ever before.
He said that If the Democratic
percentage of 1870 is unchanged,
the increase IN population would
give Roosevelt majority OF
253.175 over Dewey in Wayne,
compared 10 a Willkie majority
out-State Of 1871, 955 four years
ago.
The state chairman took a
rather pesSlnistic view only 10
impress the county chalrmen with
the fact that every vote may be
tremendously important this year.
SAFE FOR DEWEY
In his heart, he is quite con-
fdent that. il organization ma
chnery meshes into high gear
during October. the state is safe
for Dewey and Kelly.
But, in building solid ground
work for his organization, he is
taking no chances.
And he has found evidence that
the public attitude toward ROoSc-
Welt. like population. has shifted

CAMPAIGN MANUAL

In a campaign manual, which
serves as handbook for county
COP chairmen. Dethmers wrote.
Were each county 10 divide
Its vote between the two parties
In 1914 on the same percentage
basis as In 1910, this population
shift would change the Willkie
majority Of 6,926 10 n 1914 Re-
publican loss of l4.S7S."
Unlike anything Of the kind at
tempted in the past, Dethmer's
manuel graphically describes TO
his county chairmen the necessity
of registering all COP voters and
getting them 10 the polls. His
analysis of the voting trend Is
described by simple charts and
with a text that is short and cas-
ily understood.

80 PER CENT DROP

Upper Peninsula counties,
which have been shifting from
the Democratic party 10 the Re-
publican in recent years, have
dropped as much rs 30 per cent
in voter registrations.
The four strong Democratic
counties of Wayne, Macomb.
Muskegon and Bay have added
207. 52S voters since President
Roosevelt ran in 1910. Dethmers
pointed out. This is an increase of
81 per cent in population, while
the remaining 70 counties (nearly
all strongly Republican have lost
an average of 3 per cent.
