Petersburg Group Seeks White Voters Rally in Petersburg
In Petersburg a new Citizens Voters League urges white citizens to vote, arguing that continued abstention could let Negro candidates dominate future local elections. Spokesman Herbert F. Talbott cites recent Negro wins and plans a house-to-house drive and voter registration purge to double white turnout in two years. He notes less than half of about 6,100 white voters participate locally, while about 80 percent of roughly 4,100 Negro voters favor a single candidate.
