The membership committee of the Federation of Citizens' Associations met in the District buildfng last night with officers of more than twenty-five neigh- horhood associations and launched | plans for Registration week. : Registration dav in the forty-eight states of the Union is the day on which | those men and women who would take, part in the affairs of their government come forward and put their names on the voting list. The Washingtonian cannot vote, but during the last week of October the, federation will offer him the nearest approach to a voice in municipal af- fairs by invitiag him to join his neigh- borhood citizens' association. Booths to Be Provided. In order to give Registration week as complete a political atmosphere as pos- | sible, an effort will be made to, estab- lish booths in the police stations, fire | engine houses or school buildings. 1f these places can be obtained | every resident of the city who hereto- fore has taken no part in civie af- fairs wil] be called upon to show £ood citizenship by registering as an organized_citizen. Although practically all of the as- sociations charge a nominal mem- bership fee of ‘$1 a year, the collec- tion of revenue is not the object of | the campaign. The real purpose is{ enable' each association to repre- sent as nearly as possible all of the people in the territory it covers. Officers of the federation believe that if the people of Washington are sincere in their demand for suffrage in some form they will give a prac- tical demonstration of that demand by enrolling in a citizens' association during Registratio nweek. Plan to Raise Expense Fund. In order to defray the expenses of the campaign each association will be asked to give the federation 23 cents on_every new member enrolled during Registration week. Small buttons, bearing the inserip- tion “Reglsteerd, 1921, will be given each citizen as he enrolls. The committee in charge of the campaign_expects to open headquar- ters ‘in_the District building within a fow days, after which plans for the week will go forward rapidly. Don H. York is chairman of the com- |} mittee. P RED TRIANGLE ‘ELECTION. | Club Chooses Officers at Its Fourth Annua] Meeting.
