state press on the political situation:
Help Poll the Vote.
Don't underrate your own import
Ance in this great campaign. Every
individual is a cog In the political
wheel, and II he slips or fails he Jars
the machinery. In congressional con-
tests. one vote has been known TO
change an election precinct and
small group TO change q seat In con-
Eress. Besides, If you are vigilant
you will set a good example TO some
other fellow who may be lazy and in
different, 80 your vote may really
amount to two or more. The independ-
ent, thoughtful voters Of this country
have not permitted the Democrats TO
control congress for many years. They
vote as they please on local and state
tickets, but have voted the ReDubli-
cans control Of congress. 1t ought to be
done again for the same reason 1t has
been done in the past. Turn out on
election day and help do it.-Pittston
