The campaign is sponsored by

the Absentee Voters Bureau at

headed by Mrs. Faith Gwynne
Fisher. The campaign publicity
will be run by Dewitt Ballew.
More than a year ago, the
District @. o. p. organization
asked Republican chairmen in
the States to help prepare for
the campaign. Each Of the party
chairmen in AZ States where
absentee voting is permitted de-
signated someone in the WASH

At appropriate times this year
the legal residents Of each State

advised how and when to apply

Mr.. Hart estimated there are
about 250,000 persons in the
Washington area who coulc
vote. He said the party will fall
"far short" of its obligation II
the campaign workers don't gel
well over half Of these persons
to vote by mail this year.
The search for qualified Re.
publicans has added about 10000
new names to the old list. This
Is not a net gain, because OF

But perhaps $4,000 Of the names
can be regarded as met GAIN
