COMPARE your tickets with the Jae''im'
ia Urlpted in the first column on our sec.
opd page this morning
Come Out and Help Elect the
Next President.

The day anxiouSly looked forward to
blythe American people for many monthl
lat hand To-day will determine who
and what Ideas shall govern the country
lOr the coming four years. The matters
Involved In to.dsys contest concern every
citizen, and more vitality than many
may think. An instinct Of selflnterest,
lu the absence of an intelligent sense Of
duty, should prompt every voter TO cast
bis ballot and contribute his share to the
decision OF the issues involved In to.
dsy's election; and he who neglects to do
It fails In the part Of a good citizen.
The result can scarcely be considered
doubtful. There Is a bare possibility, o!
course, that the general judgment of In
slligenL calculatorS in both parties may
be astraY. That judgment is that
GRANTS election by an overwhelming
majority Is morally assured. Whatever
d not actually decided, however, must
always be included in the category Of un.
certainty. There is a possibility that the
contest may be close. 1t is possible the
electoral vote OF West Virginia may
suffice to decide it. 1t Is probable the
vote In West Virginia will be close. and
possible that few votes may carry the
State. In October several Congessmen
were elected by less than a majority of
Ten votes in each case. A Governor of
Massachusetts, was once chosen by a ma.
jOrty Of one. A dozen votes might give
West Virginia TO GRANT or TO GREELEY.
50 we see how great a responsibility
might rest on few persons who should
neglect to vote. II the Republicans in
this State turn out today, we believe the
State will be redeemed. Every vote is
needed to that end. The citizen who
Ieels this morning that he does not care
whether he votes to-day or not, would
dght Il anybody attempted to inter
Iere with his right to do 1t. II
the men who will not vote to-
day out Of mere indifference were de-
nIed the right to vote for a year, they
would revolutlonize the country. Yet the
country suffers as much from their volun.
tAFy absence from the polls as ifthey were
kept away by tyrannical edict. When
the State invests man with the ballot, It
has claim on him that he will WELD It

government. We trust that every man
who reads this will feel this obligation to.
day and fulfill 1t by coming out and vot.
