We have been asked By certain
friends to urge upon democrats the
importance of voting in the gener.
al election in order that this coun.
~ may have her proper represen,
tation in the state, judicial, sena.
torial and congressional conveu.
tionG. We have been doing this
very thing for twenty years, but il
seems 10 do no good. The politi-
clans alone can get the people to
turn out II an election, and in this
country the nomination is equal to
an election, and therefore the poll
ticians cease their efforts after the
primaries. We viii DO what VIC
can to get the voters to turn out IN
September to vote for Governor
Davis, and thus increase our
representation. bat our efforts
must be supplemented BY the ac-
tivity of other party workers.
