OFFICIAL NEWS BULLETIN 



SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 1971 



BOB ANDERSON - PRESIDENT SEZ 



The month of October is slipping by and 

 election time will soon be upon us. Voter 

 turn out at the primaries ti7as certainly a 

 disappointment but perhaps the sales in- 

 come tax issue will bring a better turn 

 out in November. It seems to me that 

 those x7ho fail to exercise their votinp 

 privileges are not reallv entitled to 

 complain too much about results . Our 

 State Convention will conflict somewhat 

 with the election, so bv all means cast 

 your absentee ballot if necessarv. 



Many of your Constitutional Convention 

 Candidates are having to campaign in 

 extremely large areas, making individual 

 contacts almost Impossible. A little 

 r^B'arch on your part will probably give 

 you a better evaluation and a hand shake 

 anyway, so pick vour delegates carefully 

 and again, don't fail to vote.
