File No. 839.011/3.

The Secretary of State to Minister Sullivan.

[Telegrams.]

Department’s January 18, 11 a.m. Suggest you emphasize need for proper provision regarding registration of voters as protection against fraud at the polls. Measures should be adopted to preclude governors from coercing voters. Limitations applied to authority of governors in this and other matters should also apply to authority of President.

Department will gladly consider any suggestions you have to make.
