Even the younger people
agree — Texas should not low-
er the legal voting age to 19,
as has been recently suggested.
Results of the latest Texas Poll
show that the great majority of
adults want the voting age left
at the traditional 21.
Thu* the people of Texas
agree with the action of the
recent legislature, where the
latest proposal to change the
voting age faued to muster
support, as it has failed at var-
