The campaign to get as many

headed on a geographical com
munity basis. Assemblyman
Baker said.
Eight area chairmen have been
appointed and , each—region will
have a local headquarters for
the* dissemination of voter-regis-
traflon information.

Assemblyman Baker announced
that the area chairmen met Mon

The Regional Chairmen will be
instructed to start house-to-house
canvasses to determine the reg
istration potential and direct the
progress of the Captains assigned
by the District Leaders, to make
certain that every potential voter
is qualified.
It's believed that many thous
ands of Brooklynites are still not
properly registered at this time
because of shifting populations
and the development of I
communities during the past five
years.
In addition to door-to-door visi
tations. the Brooklyn Democratic
registration task force intends to
cover the borough with sound
trucks and also make up car
pools for groups who wish to reg

anticipates broad support from
independents, from Republicans
who are fed up with town and
county scandals, and from Demo
crats who are dissatisfied with
‘Party hack’ nominations for
crucial administrative and judic
ial posts.”
Calvin Cobb, one of the few
Suffolk attorneys to have pleaded
before all major Federal, state
and county courts, spoke last
night to the group who will take
the Justice Party petition door to
door. He pointed out that the
Committee for his election had
also “appointed special teams to
organize 'Republicans for Cobb’
and 'Democrats for Cobb'.” He
concluded, “I am confident of vic
tory oa the strength of my quali
fications compared to those of my
Republican and Democratic op
ponents. That I am a Negro is
not an issue in this campaign.
The Justice Party will fight for a
politically free court where all
American# can depend upon equal
justice and protection under the
law.”
